i only drink shiraz (grange ^), cabernet sauvignon, malbec. no white wine, and i have only enjoyed champagne once, and found it drinkable one other time. and thats not including 1996 dom, which seems to be one of the best vintages. i could recognize the quality, but to me it was not really dry at all. i just cant stand any hint of fruit. or as it seems to me i guess.

if it may not be "fruity" im not sure whether to try "regular" cognac or only things like louis xiii in order to see if i would like it?

like with single malts, so far (went to a tasting) i only like macallan. (25 sherry oak ^)
Many times people who enjoy red wines and single malt scotch ( and I prefer the peatier malts such as Laphroaig, Talisker, Bowmore, Lagavullin) seem to enjoy armagnacs, which are a type of brandy. You may want to try one.
