You are what you drink — Everything about your wine personality.

Wine’s no longer a beverage for the fussiest of people. It’s also no longer a word that is associated with the pickiest of people. While it’s true that not everyone has taken to wine with zeal, it certainly isn’t an image that suits all people who drink it either. Wine drinkers have come a long way and have now entered the 21st century where drinking wine has become a sophisticated and sometimes expensive pleasure.

That said, are you a wine drinker? Have you ever asked what wine you are? Or wondered about the specific wines that align with your personality. If so, this blog is for you!

Full-bodied Red Wines possess an aroma that resembles various spices, leather, and dark fruits, such as sour cherries.

This can be described as ‘a powerful wine’
