Poll: Do you take red or white?

[Private Custard]

Red. I prefer a red that's got an obvious hint of berries about it, but I really don't go out of my way to test them before I buy. I read the bottle, if it sounds appealing then I'll try it. If it turns out to be not as nice as I was hoping, fuck it, I'll finish the bottle and try again next time!

I don't get snooty about it. I've had £4 bottles of red that totally outstrip ones costing ten times that!

If you're in the southern hemisphere, particularly Australia or New Zealand, you have to give Pepperjack a try. Very reasonable price, and seriously different to taste. I can't find it here in the UK, which pisses me off.

I can only drink wine with a meal, and it depends what the meal is.

If I had to choose one to drink straight up...it'd probably be red.

I drink tawny ports because I like my wines to be as manly as I am. White whine tastes like shit and regular reds are small time.

Though usually I'm chugging vodka or scotch.

Red wine all the way. I'll only buy white if I know I'm going to be using it for cooking seafood or something similar. (I'll cook up some scallops with butter, garlic, and white wine, for instance.) If I'm cooking red meat, though, I might splash a little red wine in the pan afterward to deglaze it and form a sauce to pour over the meat.

I work in the restaurant trade and have worked in some prety good ones so I took a profesional intrest in it to begin so yeah I do get the whole rosmary and stuff, but that means F all when it comes to food and wine matching. The first question i allways ask a coustomer when looking for a recomendation is what do you like?


EDIT

Oh Red is my prefered now but depends on the situation or food

If I'm going to drink wine my favourite would be White closely followed by Rose.

I've yet to find a red wine that I enjoy, but I haven't been drinking wine for that long so I guess it's also partially an acquired taste.
