I recently read an article from Elite Daily titled "There Are 2 Types of Women: Red Wine Drinkers And White Wine Drinkers" [Click Here If You Would Like To Read]. Being a wine drinker myself, I have my own thoughts on this article so why not share. Especially because upon reading this, I couldn't help but argue a lot of it because, first of all, I prefer white wine. Second of all, apparently my choice in color of wine says a lot about who I am. Some of these points are true but some of them are so off. I'm going to make somewhat of a game out of this. One point for which color wine I would choose for each statement. At the end, see what kind of wine I like from matching it to my personality, by their standards. So here we go...(my opinions will be in blue, in case you don't figure it out)
1. Red wine drinkers dine by candlelight; white wine drinkers have their dinner at sunset. Personally, I don't care how I get my dinner, as long as there is food I'm good. But if I had to choose, I would have dinner outside while the sun is going down. Red = 0 White = 1
2. Red wine drinkers watch Netflix in bed; white wine drinkers watch catfights on HBO. Well seeing as how as I am writing this I am watching Grey's Anatomy on Netflix in bed, safe to say that makes it Red = 1 White = 1
3. Red wine drinkers read romance novels; white wine drinkers read magazines. I like reading books, and yes that includes romance novels. Red = 2 White = 1
4. Red wine drinkers prefer relationships; white wine drinkers prefer one-night stands. I am very much a relationship person. Have been my whole life. Red = 3 White = 1
5. Red wine drinkers made the game; white wine drinkers play the game. Hmm, I think for this one I would have to say that I play the game? I guess. Haha. Red = 3 White = 2
6. Red wine drinkers are practical; white wine drinkers live in the moment. I am practical and live in the moment. Very bi-polor on this one. Guess we will give half a point to both. Red = 3.5 White = 2.5
7. Red wine drinkers vacation in Paris; white wine drinkers vacation in Tuscany. I vacation in neither. If I could go to a foreign country, I would go to Ireland. Guess that would be more beer and whiskey. No points to either. Red = 3.5 White = 2.5
8. Red wine drinkers are romantics; white wine drinkers are practical. Total romantic and not afraid to admit it. Red = 4.5 White = 2.5
9. Red wine drinkers listen to classics; white wine drinkers listen to electronic. I definitely don't listen to electronic. I listen to classic country a lot...counts in my book. Red = 5.5 White = 2.5
10. Red wine drinkers speak their minds; white wine drinkers are good listeners. Another one where I am both. Half points to both again. Red = 6 White = 3
11. Red wine drinkers are Team Jacob; white wine drinkers are Team Edward. I'm not going to lie and say I didn't read or watch the movies, because I did. I own the boxed set of the books and own the movies. Now, I was Team Jacob for the first book but by the end of the series I was on Team Edward, tho in the movies, Jacob was way better looking in my opinion. Red = 6 White = 4
12. Red wine drinkers like a little scruff; white wine drinkers like their men clean cut. Beards are sexy. Period. I could go either way, because it all depends on the guy, but for me I definitely tend to go towards guys with scruff. Red = 7 White = 4
13. Red wine drinkers are brunettes; white wine drinkers are steely blondes. Tho I have my fair share of blonde moments, I am a brunette. Don't see how this determines what wine I drink but oh well. Red = 8 White = 4
14. Red wine drinkers loved English class; white wine drinkers loved Science class. I hated both! I loved Math and Art class. Wonder if this also would mean beer and whiskey haha. No points for either. Red = 8 White = 4
15. Red wine drinkers are deep thinkers; white wine drinkers are big talkers. Anyone in my family would probably peg me in the big talker category because I tend to talk a lot, but I would put myself in the deep thinker category. Red = 9 White = 4
16. Red wine drinkers are worried about stains; white wine drinkers throw away their inhibitions. I am a worrier. Big time. I don't find it easy to throw away my inhibitions. I am working on it but think the point goes to red. Red = 10 White = 4
17. Red wine drinkers have a few good conversations; white wine drinkers are the lives of the party. Again, I think my answer is different than people who are close to me would say, but I don't think I am the life of any party. Red = 11 White = 4
I will remind you, I choose white wine over red. Apparently I don't know what I like haha.
18. Red wine drinkers love sultry bars; white wine drinkers love the outdoors with open air. Easy! Open air all the way! Red = 11 White = 5
19. Red wine drinkers hold a glass by its stem; white wine drinkers keep their pinkies up. Don't really try it but I think I do keep my pinky up when I'm drinking my wine. Red = 11 White = 6
20. Red wine drinkers wear maxi dresses; white wine drinkers show midriffs. Even if I had the body to show my midriff, wouldn't feel comfortable doing it. Besides, maxi dresses are so dang comfortable. Red = 12 White = 6
21. Red wine drinkers like their meat; white wine drinkers prefer the surf. Mmm give me a good steak anytime. Red = 13 White = 6
22. Red wine drinkers have dry humor; white wine drinkers have full-bodied laughs. Comedian here. Well sometimes, most of the time just a smart-ass. Either way I know I don't have dry humor. Red = 14 White = 6
23. Red wine drinkers leave voicemails; white wine drinkers send texts. There was really only one person I ever liked leaving voicemails for. My best friend in high school. Too much pressure not knowing when the beep will cut you off. Red = 14 White = 7
24. Red wine drinkers like their shoes comfortable; white wine drinkers like their shoes tall. I pretty much only wear cowboy boots. Guess since they aren't technically really tall, they fit the comfortable category? Works for me. Red = 15 White = 7
25. Red wine drinkers sit in big leather chairs; white wine drinkers lie on the beach. Not a huge beach person myself. It's fun every couple of years. I'll take a big comfy leather chair that I can curl up in any day of the year. Red = 16 White = 7
26. The author of this article skipped number two-six. Score still at Red = 16 White = 7
27. Red wine drinkers write with pens; white wine drinkers type on touchscreens. I love writing with pens. I have a pen addiction. My best friend Colleen won't let me go down the pen aisle in any store because I have A LOT of pens. Addiction I swear. Red = 17 White = 7
28. Red wine drinkers like it hot; white wine drinkers don't mind a little chill. My mind could go in the gutter here but I will choose to take this as what kind of weather I prefer. I don't like this awful bitter cold we have going on this winter, but normally I don't mind a little chill. Red = 17 White = 8
29. Red wine drinkers wear Mary Janes; white wine drinkers wear strappy sandals. Again, I wear boots. I should have created a tally for beer and whiskey. No points. Red = 17 White = 8
30. Red wine drinkers curl up by the fire; white wine drinkers like a breezy summer day. Since we are talking about wine, there is nothing better than curling up next to a fire, nice glass of Moscato d'Asti and a book. Red = 18 White = 8
31. Red wine drinkers wear velvety corduroy pants; white wine drinkers prefer sundresses. I don't even own a pair of corduroy pants. I wear jeans and tshirts. But between the two, I would take a sundress. I can be girly sometimes. Red = 18 White = 9
32. Red wine drinkers like good literature; white wine drinkers like good movies. I love both. I have always enjoyed sitting down with a really good book. I've been known to finish a book in a few hours, if it's good enough. But I also love movies. So half a point to both. Red = 18.5 White = 9.5
33. Red wine drinkers enjoy table conversation; white wine drinkers enjoy chatting on the phone. Talking in person is always better, especially when you are at a table and there is food haha. Plus as stated before, I prefer texting when it comes to the phone. Red = 19.5 White = 9.5
34. Red wine drinkers like evenings in; white wine drinkers are all about party time. I enjoy going out and having a good time, but I really am a home body. Red = 20.5 White = 9.5
35. Red wine drinkers prefer heavy clothing; white wine drinkers love keeping it light. Hmm well judging by the fact that my favorite piece of clothing is sweatshirts, think red gets this one too....big surprise.
Which brings my total to Red Wine with 21.5 points and White Wine with 9.5 points. Obviously there are no actual facts to prove these are right, especially seeing as how by my little game I should be a big Red Wine lover when in fact my favorite is a sparkling white. Try my little game. Does this article and "your personality" match what type of wine you prefer?
