Written by Madeline Puckette

Find out what your favorite wine says about your personality. Although, to be fair, as long as you’re drinking wine, there is already something very correct about you.

What Your Favorite Wine Says About You

what-your-wine-says-about-you

If you love Malbec…

malbec-wine-bottle
You have a box full of adult toys, and you like to dip your pizza crust in ranch. Who wouldn’t want a wine that tastes like chocolate cake?


If you love Pinot Grigio…

pinot-grigio-bottle
You like your drinks low-calorie, your fridge organized, and your social commitments minimal. Pinot Grigio is your ‘I can sip this while deciding what’s for dinner’ wine, no overthinking required.


If you love Cabernet Sauvignon…

cabernet-sauvignon-wine-bottle
You lift heavy things for fun, and your playlist is 90% real instruments played by real musicians. Cabernet is bold, structured, and unapologetic, just like the way you take up two armrests on a flight.


If you love Sauvignon Blanc…

sauvignon-blanc-bottle
You’ve been pairing food and wine since you were eight… with juice boxes and Goldfish crackers. Now it’s goat cheese and Sauvignon Blanc. Your ideal vacation is anywhere you can wear a sweater and still sit outside with a glass in hand.


If you love Pinot Noir…

pinot-noir-bottle
You like the idea of camping, but also believe wine should be poured into proper stemware. Pinot Noir is your Goldilocks wine: not too fruity, not too earthy, just right for every situation (including binge-watching documentaries).


If you love rosé…

rose-bottle
You’ve figured out the socially acceptable way to day-drink. You’ve cracked the code on making Tuesday afternoons feel like summer weekends. Rosé is your go-to mood: relaxed, stylish, and unapologetically pink.


If you love buttery Chardonnay…

chardonnay-bottle
You are aware that other people hate buttery Chardonnay, but that won’t stop you from loving it. Chardonnay is like the adult version of pralines and cream. You still have a box of stuffed animals from when you were a kid.


If you love something French…

french-wine-bottle
You’ve mastered the art of the long lunch. You probably pronounce ‘croissant’ correctly and own a scarf that’s not for warmth. Whether it’s Bordeaux or Burgundy, French wine is your cultural flex.


If you love Italian wine…

italian-wine-bottle
You’re a family guy/gal, but you’re also a bit sadomasochistic. You like your flavors bold, your vegetables bitter, and your dinner table loud. Italian wine matches your energy: passionate, complex, and always best with food. Well, hello there, radicchio.


If you love sparkling wine…

sparkling-wine-champagne-bottle
Here are your thoughts on cocaine:

  1. You’ve never had it, and you never will. You’re certain you’ll become addicted.
  2. You love it.

If you love Port…

port-wine-bottle
There are very few things better than cuddling up alone with a good book, a square of dark chocolate and a glass of fine Port. Now, please leave me alone.


If you love Biodynamic wine…

biodynamic-wine-bottle
Your tote bag has been to a farmer’s market more times than the grocery store. You ride a bicycle to work. You think that Biodynamic wine is the only responsible wine to drink. Get with the program, people.


If you love White Zinfandel…

white-zinfandel-bottle
You’re not that into wine… yet!
