Psychologists have told us: those who adopt a dog have a different personality than those who love cats, writes the Italian scientific magazine, Focus.it.
The same goes for board games: those who enjoy playing Monopoly have a different character than those who choose Taboo. Now, let's talk about the flavors of wine: it seems that what we like to pour into our glasses reveals a lot about who we are.
According to the results of the study by the Universities of Verona and Macerata, about 1,200 people, between the ages of 18 and 87, have compiled a test that investigates the five basic dimensions of personality: extroversion, friendliness, emotional stability, conscientiousness and openness.
In addition, they told the researchers about their favorite wines.
Cabernet or Chianti?
It turns out that emotional drinkers can appreciate full-bodied reds like Syrah or Cabernet Sauvignon, and that keeping an open mind can lead to wines with persistent flavors and rich in tannins (polyphenols, present in higher concentrations high).
Finally, extroverts tend to prefer acidic wines, such as Champagne or Chianti, but may also like tannic ones.
Finally, friendly people prefer wines with high alcohol content. Studies have shown that conscientiousness alone is not associated with a particular bias.
