SC - What kind of wine goes *on* tuna?

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

Having translated the tuna recipes, I decided that the marinated grilled 
tuna looked worth trying  -- easy, and well-suited to my health 
restrictions.  It's simple enough, except that I am utterly ignorant about 
wines.  The ingredients of the marinade are: white wine, boiled wine, 
vinegar, garlic, pepper, salt.

Since the recipe is Spanish, it seems appropriate to use Spanish 
wines.  I was thinking of using a red wine for the "boiled wine" (which I 
would then reduce by half), for no reason that I can justify, except that I 
tend to assume red wine is the default.  Perhaps the boiled wine ought 
to be a bit sweet, to give the marinade some balance.

Can anyone suggest what kinds of wines would be appropriate for this 
purpose?  I have no clue even where to start.  I barely know a sherry 
from a chardonnay.  I don't want anything very expensive, or obscure.  I 
have access to a medium-sized suburban liquor store, whose Spanish 
wine section comprises about 2 dozen different varieties.
