🍷 10 Quick Questions for Wine Lovers — Compare Your Tastes!
Hey wine lovers! I recently asked some friends (and Redditors) 10 quick questions about their wine preferences — and now I want to share them with you. Think of it as a little taste test for your personality. Answer as many as you like, and see how your preferences match up with mine!
1. Red, White, or Rosé?
Your turn: Which do you reach for most, and why? My answer: Depends on the vibe! Red for cozy evenings, white for sunny afternoons, and rosé when I need a little summer in a glass. Pinot Noir usually steals my heart.
2. Everyday Bottle vs. Special Occasion
Your turn: What’s your usual price range for wine? My answer: Weeknight sipping? Around $15–20 — enough to enjoy without overthinking. Special occasions? I’ll splurge $50–70, as long as it comes with some kind of bragging rights.
3. Old World vs. New World
Your turn: French, Italian, Spanish… or Californian, Chilean, Australian? My answer: Old World for elegance and history, New World for fruit-forward boldness. I enjoy both — a French Burgundy one night, a juicy Californian Zinfandel the next.
4. Favorite Grapes
Your turn: Any varietals you can’t resist? My answer: Pinot Noir (so complex, so temperamental), Chardonnay (yes, I’m not scared), and Riesling (life’s too short not to drink something bright, lively, and with a hint of petrol).
5. Hidden Gems
Your turn: Any underrated wine regions or bottles worth trying? My answer: Armenian white wines made from Voskehat grape — crisp, mineral, and delightfully under the radar. Georgian amber wines are another favorite if you like your wine with a side of history.
6. Food Pairing
Your turn: Your ultimate wine + food combo? My answer: Champagne + fried chicken. Seriously, the bubbles and saltiness together? Absolute perfection.
7. Natural, Organic, or Classic?
Your turn: Do you explore natural/organic wines, or stick with the classics? My answer: I love experimenting with natural or organic wines, though sometimes they surprise me in…interesting ways. Classic wines are my safe, dependable go-to.
8. Trendy or Timeless
Your turn: Sparkling, orange, dessert wines… do you experiment or stick to classics? My answer: Sparkling wines are timeless in my book. They suit celebrations, casual dinners, or even just “treat yourself” moments.
9. Biggest Wine Myth
Your turn: What’s something newcomers should ignore? My answer: “Red only with meat, white only with fish.” Nah — drink what tastes good to you. But yes, a bold Cab might raise a few eyebrows with salmon.
10. One Wine for Life
Your turn: If you could drink only one wine forever, which would it be? My answer: A great Champagne. Because even if I’m stuck with a single wine forever, at least I’ll always feel like it’s a party.
