The traditional wine recommendation with a certain dish is better left out. New research suggests that people generally fall into certain wine drinking categories or "wine types." The way a person drinks and tastes wine has been studied, and people fit into one of four different wine drinking preferences. The categories are …
Sweet
These people are very picky about their wines, along with most other things in their lives. They strive to have and keep everything organized. They want something light, fruity and not too strong. They also enjoy fizzy drinks and salty food. The statistics also state that 70% of these drinkers are women.
Hypersensitive
Similar to the sweet category, these people want something light and sweet, and they are more open to trying new wines, but it should be simple. This research also states that these people often complain about room temperature and television volume.
Sensitive
These people fall in the middle of the wine drinking scale. They are flexible and adventurous, they like a variety of wines as long as the wine is not too strong. These people are also said to be free-spirited and less rigid in everyday life.
Tolerant
Finally, these are the wine connoisseurs. The people who drink big, bold flavors and full-bodied wines. Research also suggests that they are decision makers and linear thinkers. The most enjoyed wine of this category is a rich-tasting red wine. People closest to this category also love intense flavors and strong coffee.
