Wines And Vines reported on a study done by Wine Opinions which found that high-frequency wine drinkers prefer consuming their favorite beverage at places other than the dinner table.
The report states that only 41 percent of the wine consumed in America is paired with a meal. 59 percent of it is consumed without food, while preparing a meal or with snacks. The amount of strictly solo wine drinking is 26 percent.
More figures are available in the report, which featured demographic and lifestyle breakdowns on wine consumption.
In what may come as a surprise to many, the stats showed that those high-frequency wine drinkers aren't all that concerned with food and wine pairings. Also, white wine is the go-to "cocktail" wine for only 25 percent of the respondents.
The high-frequency wine consumers in this study are defined as people who drink wine daily or several times per week. The daily wine drinkers accounted for 29 percent of the respondents, while 54 percent had a glass of wine several times weekly.
The biggest surprise of the report for me was that not even 30 percent of wine drinkers in America have a glass on a daily basis.
I have a glass of wine nightly, which has prompted some good-natured ribbing from my wife on occasion regarding what a "lush" I am. I don't feel that a glass a night puts me in Foster Brooks territory, but then I suppose that might depend on the size of the glass.
