WHAT YOUR WINE SAYS ABOUT YOU..

- ■ by SOPHIE FREEMAN

THE wine we like to drink is influenced by our personalit­y, says a study.

Extroverts prefer more acidic ones, while people who are emotionall­y stable love downing a full-bodied bottle.

The results were discovered when drinkers were asked if they fell into the categories of “agreeablen­ess, conscienti­ousness, extroversi­on, neuroticis­m, or openness”.

Then they were asked: “Which wines do you like the most?”

Researcher­s from Verona University and Macerata University in Italy found significan­t links between personalit­ies and types of wines.

They said the emotionall­y stable “prefer tannic, persistent, full-bodied wines with a complex bouquet and a high alcohol content and favour wines with less flavour”.

Meanwhile, they discovered that more open-minded people prefer their tipple to have “persistent flavours and high levels of tannins”.
