The results of a new survey directed to people who enjoy wine has just come out, and the results are bewildering to say the least: for example, it seems like red wine drinkers make more money than those who prefer white or rosé - and yet, they're less willing to spend on presents!
It's time to uncork those bottles for the holidays, and red wine drinkers are at the top of the game because that's the best one for cold weather - but also, according to a new survey, those people who favor the dark beverage are also more likely to earn more.
According to the United Kingdom paper The Telegraph, a recently published survey states that there's a wide difference between red wine drinkers and those who prefer white or rosé - among them, how much money each of those wine lovers earns at their jobs.
In the poll, directed at people from the UK 2,000 people with the habit of consuming white, rosé or red wine were surveyed, and they were asked about their lifestyles, earnings and different life choices, pointing to some very interesting results.
For example, from the survey it became clear that red wine drinkers have the highest salary, and far more likely to consider themselves "laidback and casual" than people who favor other wines, according to The London Economic.
As for the personalities of the people who prefer drinking other types of wine, the survey showed that those who prefer sparkling wine see themselves as more "quirky and fun," while rosé fans self-describe as "glamorous and chic" - when it comes to white wine drinkers, they see themselves as "authentic and natural."
The research, commissioned by French Wines with Style, also showed that red wine drinkers are less likely to spend their money on presents - so it might be better to surround yourself with people with other preferences during the holidays!
"If you want to understand a personality, all you have to do is watch what people are drinking," says Gerard Basset, a spokesman for the people behind the survey. "Perhaps we can even find our friends, business and life partners by looking at the type of wine they like to drink."
