Overwhelme­d by wine menus?

Still not sure what glass of wine to order? Hugo Lefevre of Eno helped compile this simple quiz to narrow down which varietal might be your best bet.

-

Our methodolog­y: If you take your coffee with sugar, chances are you won’t be turned off by a sweeter wine. If you only drink lagers, you may not enjoy an in-your-face cabernet. Once you’re done, remember to still chat with your server before ordering: Difference­s arise among varietals, and the way a wine tastes can vary significan­tly year to year depending on growing conditions.
