I would suggest being a bit more systematic about it. Sipping wine from a glass of someone in your circle actually locks you into a fairly narrow range of wines/flavors. Find examples of wines which go into particular directions (even as basic as sweet, sour, tannic, etc.), see if you like any particular direction. If you do, explore around it.
To exaggerate a bit, taking sips from beer cups at student parties will not tell you what actual beer tastes like and whether you like it or not :-)
Similarly with beers, finding out what beer someone is drinking, and what they think makes it different from other beers (and if its one I have tried before), then trying it, seems like a good way to try new beers, but so far I don't really like any of the ones I have tried, (~20+)
I still try like this because I have never been sure if my taste preference will change, or if the different wines will taste better.
Mostly I find a few friends who drink wine to go around trying various wines, not sticking to the same ones, although I don't exactly follow this very closely, I might start keeping a list of types of wine I have tried..
