Red or White

Straw poll. I know that the winies* would want to know which wines before answering, but I'm vaguely interested in the general proportions among our friends. For instance, the mixed boxes that Virgin offer are usually 50/50, but we run out of the red before the white.

[Poll #655452]


*As opposed to winos.

I generally prefer to drink white these days but if I'm in some doubt as to the quality then I'll go for red. Mediocre reds are more drinkable than mediocre whites and really really good reds are out of this world (though I rarely get the chance to drink that quality).

Of course, if I'm driving then mineral water.

That's the reason I voted for reds. I like both, depending on mood and what I'm eating, but cheapish reds are often reasonably pleasant and cheapish whites are often horribly acidic.
