The eight profiles

The Bold Explorer

Big flavors. Zero apologies. Malbec, Zinfandel, Syrah / Shiraz.

The Smooth Classic

Effortless taste, every time. Merlot, Grenache / Garnacha, Pinot Noir, riper style.

The Elegant Minimalist

Less, but better. Pinot Noir, classic style, Chablis, Gamay (Beaujolais).

The Crisp Refresher

Fresh. Zesty. Alive. Sauvignon Blanc, Albariño, Picpoul de Pinet.

The Golden Comfort

Rich, warm and welcoming. Chardonnay, oaked, Viognier, White Rioja.

The Sweet Spot

Life’s too short for bitter. Riesling, off dry, Moscato d’Asti, Gewürztraminer.

The Celebration Seeker

Every day deserves sparkle. Cava, Crémant, Champagne / top Prosecco.

The Rosé All-Rounder

Flexible, fun, always invited. Provence Rosé, Spanish Rosado, Pinot Noir Rosé.

How the profiles work

Seven questions, about a minute. The quiz asks how you take coffee, what you order at a bar, how you feel about sweetness and a few other things that predict wine taste better than wine questions do.

The result is a starting point, not a box. Most people match one profile strongly and a second one loosely. Read both.

One honest drawback

Eight profiles cannot cover every palate. If you already know you like Barolo and natural orange wine, the quiz will hand you something too safe. It is built for people who are still working out what they like.
