Red or white?

Survey finds personality differences between red and white wine drinkers

Red wine drinkers tend to spend more per bottle than white wine drinkers ($40 versus $37, respectively), are more likely to consider themselves wine aficionados, and are more likely to be Game of Thrones fans. That’s according to a recent survey of 2,000 drinking-age Americans commissioned by wine-accessory maker Coravin and whose results were summarized by Food & Wine magazine. The survey further found that red wine drinkers tend to identify as adventurous, humble and organized, while white wine drinkers consider themselves curious, sarcastic and perfectionists. Fans of red wine, according to the results, are more likely to prefer dogs to cats, while the opposite is true for fans of white wine. And red wine drinkers tend to be introverts, and white wine drinkers extroverts. The differences didn’t stop there, as red wine drinkers were found to be early birds, while white wine drinkers are night owls.
