Looking for clues about your date’s potential? Look no further than their wine glass.
In vino veritas is a Latin phrase meaning ‘In wine there is truth.’ Does your wine glass reveal the truth about you? Or is your favourite vino sending the wrong message to prospective dates?
Champagne
Champagne drinkers are often the life of the party — they don’t call it ‘bubbly’ for nothing. This type loves the finest things in life, and doesn’t mind paying for them (or having someone else pay). Their fixation on premium brands can make them appear aloof and pretentious but to them, it’s simply a matter of quality. A date with this type is all about being at the right place with the right people, whether it’s an opening of a hot new nightspot or anchored off a remote beach on Daddy’s yacht.
Best match: Though a big red drinker will suit up fairly well, only another bubbly aficionado can understand and keep up with the subtle nuances and apparent contradictions of the champagne drinker.
Sparkling Wine
The sparkling wine lover is a down-to-earth type who’s comfortable in his or her own skin and doesn’t bow to social pressure. They possess a reassuringly balanced nature, and know that life is all about compromise. Date-wise, they present an irresistible package — fun, charm and a sense of adventure — skipping from footy match to cocktail party without skipping a beat.
Best match: A merlot lover provides the perfect earthy, unpretentious companion for those fond of sparkling wine.
Chardonnay
It’s very much a case of ‘what you see is what you get’ with the chardonnay drinker. Reliable (some say predictable) lovers of this ubiquitous white are not swayed by fads or fashion, preferring their trusty ‘Chards’ over more exotic wines. Whether it’s a day at the races or dancing the night away, this type enjoys good company, good conversation… and a good drink.
Best match: Those dedicated to robust reds will go the distance with a chardonnay lover, both in conversation and consumption.
Classic Dry White
Pleasant and easy-going, the white blend drinker makes a versatile date who is as much at home shooting pool in the pub as they are attending a gallery opening. This type has an inquisitive mind and a genuine love of people, which makes them a great dinner party guest. They mix well with others and bring a refreshing perspective to the table (in much the same way a bottle of classic dry white does).
Best match: For a like minded-companion, steer yourself towards another ‘blend’ drinker who is a ‘glass half full’ type who enjoys life ’til the very last drop.
Red Blend
Warm and dependable, the red blend drinker is an affable companion who makes an outstanding partner in crime for long, boozy dinner parties or weekend brunch with the crossword. Living in the moment, this type embraces new experiences and loves being stimulated. Positive and forward thinking, they try to get the most out of life by keeping busy with a wide social circle and interesting hobbies.
Best match: For a similar outlook on life, the classic white drinker is a great match. But those seeking to be challenged intellectually, a big red drinker could really up the ante.
Pinot Noir
Pinot noir drinkers are confident and assured (some would say to the point of being a fusspot — think of the Miles character in the film, Sideways). Art house movies, home decorating and chic dinner parties are the standard dating fare of the pinot drinker. Like the wine itself, these types can be complex and mysterious so if you happen across a good one, you will be treated to a sensual rewarding experience… from date and wine alike.
Best match: A fellow pinot lover will complement your passionate and quirky temperament, but for an injection of humour and vitality, you can’t go past a sparkling wine drinker.
Merlot
Like their preferred tipple, the merlot drinker is pleasantly honest and uncomplicated. This type enjoys the simple things in life, like a perfectly grilled steak or a relaxed picnic in the park. Dependable and faithful, the merlot drinker will be there to meet you at the airport (even if your flight arrives at 5 am) such is their Golden Retriever-like loyalty and geniality.
Best match: A chardonnay lover will match your practical nature, a pinot noir drinker can offer greater mental stimulation.
Big Red
Intense and brooding, the lover of a big, gutsy red is a force to be reckoned with. A date with this type can be a nerve-wracking affair, involving starched white tableclothes and too much silverware. It’s often all or nothing with these types, who like to splash the cash and live life large. Confident and capable, the big red lover has high expectations from the wines they choose and the people they date.
Best match: Pairing off with another big red lover guarantees a meeting of the minds, but for a lighter approach with a dash of effervescence, try a similarly discerning champagne drinker.
