You are what you drink?

An interesting article over at globeandmail: you are what you drink. Allegedly, the wine you consume can tell others exactly what sort of character, you really are. My first reaction; I knew it! Though wine people throw the curve a bit, you can tell someone's political leaning, personality, and sometimes their exercise habits by the wine they enjoy the most.

For example, "Julia" (I'm not going to use real names here; they'll know who they are) loves White Merlot. What does this say about her? She's liberal (the conservatives like the hard stuff), unencumbered by appearances, universally jovial, and doesn't exercise often. Definitely a White Merlot drinker.

"Celine" is a sparkling wine drinker. Preferably Asti. Let us see inside her heart: Still not an exerciser, extremely influenced by others decisions, hard to please but easy to settle, and most clearly conservative. I've yet to find a liberal who claims sparkling wine as their favorite drink.

"Elane" enjoys cabs. We're talking the ball-busters of the California coast. She's conservative, fiesty, and likes her steak raw and wriggling. She's influenced by her peers to some extent, but when she gets going, there's no stopping her. She's also one of those gym nuts who's gym clothes cost as much as their eveningwear.

"Ben" drinks syrah. Ben goes to yoga. Enough said.

I could continue with far too many of my friends (though half of them are winos and by default are hard to corner). I concur, you are what you drink!
