Red Wine Drinkers Are Dog People

Coravin, the gadget that lets you open wine without uncorking the bottle, conducted a study among 2,000 wine drinkers, and the difference between white wine drinkers and red wine drinkers is remarkable. What am I saying? In my case, it’s even spot on! Are you team white (cat!) or team red (dog!)?

Red wine drinkers spend more

An average of three dollars more per bottle. I can imagine why, because white wine drinkers are more of the slurp-and-guzzle variety, while red wine drinkers are more about savoring and enjoying. What you drink has to be top-notch, so you spend more money on it.

Red wine drinkers are wine snobs

They think they know more about wine and, as it turns out… they do.

Red wine drinkers are early birds

Because, of course, they only drink one glass. With attention and patience. In front of the fireplace. With that book. White wine drinkers are night owls, woohoo.

White wine drinkers are cat people

And red wine drinkers are dog people. This is absolutely true for me.

Red wine drinkers are introverts

And white wine drinkers are extroverts. Check, like again!

Red wine drinkers are organized

Yes, because they neatly close that newspaper after those two glasses and go to bed at a reasonable hour. I’m very curious to see what character traits we white wine drinkers will have thrown at us. Curious (ah, okay), sarcastic (sarcastic?) and perfectionistic. Well, all right.

Anyway: cheers. Regardless of the color of your glass.
