Drinking some right now. From New Zealand. Red wine never really resonated with me.

Team Red.

White's flavor is just too weak.

Red matches more food pairings that I typically eat and is better for relaxing indoors.

White can't be beat for sitting outside leaning back on the porch chair on a hot summer day.

white, I like the dry and delicate crispness. red feels heavy and doesn't sit as well in me. plus, if I spill, game over.

White. I've only had a red that I liked once, and I can't remember the name of it.

My only experience has been with really cheap wines. So no thanks.

Although, I do like when wine is around be a use then I can sing Scenes from an Italian Restaurant.

It's like you took my thoughts out of my mind and wrote them down.

I enjoy both for different reasons/scenarios. =)

I can't stand the taste of red wine, I would rather drink a white wine that tastes like battery acid than the nicest red in the world. I would drink any white, but pinot grigio is my favourite and chardonnay my least favourite

White wine and seafood is like the best pairing ever. White wine isn't infallible, though - I tried pairing it with pizza for a birthday celebration the other day and it was a terrible idea. Awful clash of flavor and it made my pizza taste funny.

Depends on what you are drinking it with.

Start with White finish with Red is usually a good bet. Or a nice Pinot Noir for a good mix of the two.

If I am just drinking wine, I'll probably go with a red. I prefer it. Usually most people start on white wine and as they get more and more into wine they will stick with red and never go back.

I'm taking the "or". I can't fathom how anyone can like the taste of wine. To me, it tastes like spoiled juice. :X Does it really "taste" good to you all, or is it just a taste you have adapted to like?

Red has a higher ceiling and a lower basement. Since I'm cheap, I've been favoring white lately.
