Red.

If it's stored in a wooden container, chemical reactions can create flavors that you wouldn't think were from grapes. While I can usually pick them up, I'm going to be more concerned with whether or not it actually tastes good. Because if it doesn't, it's just going to get used for marinating steaks or something.

It all depends on how I'm feeling. White is for celebration, red is when I'm overworked. They both compliment my mood quite well. Though I'm not a wine drinker. I usually don't even bother taking it out of the bag before the cork is gone and I'm hobo chugging.

While I'm not a huge wine drinker, I like red wine. White wine tends to taste like two asses rubbed together on a humid day. However if I'm drinking, I prefer beer and liquor, particularly whiskey and vodka as opposed to wine.

What about Rose wine? It isn't technically red.

I prefer Red though...

Umm, I've made strawberry wine, and muscadine(or is that technically still a grape?) wine. So, its possible for wine to be made form something other than a grape, yet, I understand your point, and agree.
Ah, true, I forgot about cherry wine, dandelion wine (which is weird, but surprisingly tasty), plum wine (although that's a mixed drink in some cases) and other.
Of course, you can make wine from pretty much anything that contains sugar. Mead is basically honey wine after all.

The snobbish taste-stuff-in-wine people usually only violate grape wines, though, so I stand by my accusation ^^

Fuck wine! It tastes like juice made of unripe berries mixed with cough medicine.

I do prefer red. Usually full bodied such as a good cabernet sauvignon, merlot or shiraz. I also have a soft spot for the Campo Viejo Rioja. Where white is concerned, I do like it with white meat and fish but I'm not a fan of dry whites like pinot grigio (although I expect a very good one would be quite nice). I do like chardonnay. Aside from that a white zinfandel or Mateus rose is very nice on a summer's evening.

Fuck wine!

I find wine to be the foulest tasting of all the alcohols. I'd rather drink beer. Beer!

White, because some red wines I seem to have an allergic reaction to (nothing severe, or never was when I drunk red).
Even if I did drink red, I'd prolly have white anyway by choice most of the time.

If it's a free choice of booze, then I'll take an ale, ta.

I used to like only white when I was younger. Now I prefer red, a lot more. Rose's not bad either.

Those who drink wine, aren't all that snobby. That's a stereotype from a 1950's movie or something. It's probably one of the most used drinks of mankind.

What I've noticed a lot lately, are men who are snobby about whisky. Really.

I enjoy both kinds. I have drank more white wine than red though because my family enjoys that more. I have found by mixing certain red and white wines together in the right amounts you get an amazing flavor. What happens it tones down sharpness of red and leaves a sweet aftertaste with the white.

Red wine. Unless it's being mixed with Cola, in which case I'd take white.

Oh and fuck snobs. My goal is not to waste an hour deciding if I'd like to spend $999.99 or $899.99 for a bottle of fermented grapes. I drink alcohol to get drunk. It's the most logical sequence of events.
are you sure?
Yes, I see no problem there... (now)
No matter how good I get with using the English language, I'm still not on best terms with some things. The grapefruit/grape dilemma is one of them. Partly because of my mother tongue, where grape=grapefruit and grapes have a completely different term altogether.
