Red or White

[westernind]

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.

Um... Some red, some water? I tend to chop and change, depending.... :-)

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.

My husband--white all the way.

Me--um, Coke? Or just some still water, with ice.

I am another one of those either really types.

In my experience, unidentified red is more drinkable than unidentified white...

I've voted for my preference, but would add another vote for 'red' for my man - not that the poll seems to need much help there!

I would always have both water and wine. As for the colour, it would almost certainly depend on whether it was to be drunk with food, and if so what the food was (e.g. red wine and fish is just all bad) but if on its own I'd go for red.
