What your wine taste says about you

For DoddieAid 2024 teams of cyclists from all over the UK propelled themselves across Europe through the bitter March weather to reach Rome ahead of the Scotland v Italy Six Nations match on 9th March.

What your wine says

Wine tastes are a curious thing and they can say an awful lot about a person, we reckon.

In fact, there’s even been some serious research done into what wine preference says about our character.

So, in a completely unscientific way we at Lockett Bros decided to come up with a little guide about what your wine-tippling tastes and desires say about you.

We produced a similar guide for whisky – which you can read here – and you seemed to love it.

So for the wine connoisseurs, and for those who might only have a passing interest in wines, here’s the not-so-definitive Lockett Bros Wine Personality Guide.

Sauvignon Blanc

You are the dependable one in your circle of friends. People value your opinion and many seek counsel with you. You certainly know how to enjoy yourself but you never, ever go overboard.

You’re not one for being particularly experimental and you’ve probably holidayed at the same location for the last decade.

We’d suggest… Rio Del Mar Sauvignon Blanc

Pinot Noir

Wow tiger, calm down a little bit! You’re passionate and intense and you love to surround yourself with all that is good in life. You’re a little bit of an exhibitionist but it’s not all bluster.

There’s definite substance to your appeal and a hint of mystery that people want to investigate further.

You’re fiercely loyal and probably have excellent work ethics. You love to chat and – truth be told – you’re a little bit of a gossip but people kinda love that about you.

We’d suggest… Ma Maison Martinborough Pinot Noir

Shiraz

You’re a surprisingly complex character. At face value, people see you as outgoing and funny but you actually have a very serious side.

You love to read in the park and sometimes you probably just disappear for a few hours to collect your thoughts.

You have a little bit of a short fuse at times and you definitely don’t suffer fools gladly.

We’d suggest… Logan Apple Tree Flat Shiraz

Chardonnay

You’re bold and outspoken and you hate the winter. Summer is the time of year that you come into your own and there are few who love the beach as much as you do.

You can hold court in big groups without a problem but you’re most relaxed when it’s just you and a couple of close friends at your favourite restaurant.

Are you the hardest worker in the world? Probably not. Do you care? Definitely not.

We’d suggest… Boisset Bourgogne Chardonnay

Champagne

You love parties, obviously, and you’re an expert at creating epic social events with hardly any fuss.

People love when you attend their parties  because you have a knack for bringing strangers together.

You probably have a small scar from the time you went skinny-dipping in the sea with friends, you livewire!

We’d suggest… Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve

Riesling

You’re not a huge socializer and probably don’t have a big circle of friends. A cosy night in with a book is your ideal relaxation and you have a secret passion for collecting mini teapots… probably.

We’d suggest… Greywacke Riesling
