Study: Impulsive people prefer sweet wines, while open people like dry

A taste for sauvignon blanc and chardonnay or a liking for Bordeaux or zinfandel can indicate more than just a preference in wines. It could also reveal personality traits.

New research by scientists in Australia and Britain showed that drinkers who preferred a sweet taste in wine were more likely to be impulsive while those who chose dry varieties had greater openness.

"Participants with a sweet taste preference were significantly higher in impulsiveness than their dry preference counterparts," Anthony J. Saliba, of Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, Australia, and his colleagues said in the report.

I guess I am an oddity. (duh) I impulsively like my wines dry.
