Most people don't follow wine etiquette

A OnePoll survey done on behalf of Woodbridge Wines shows that 67 percent of respondents aged 21 and above agree that is a proper way to drink wine — but only 17 percent say they “always” follow the rules.

Among the 2,000 respondents, the youngest generation claim to follow the rules most closely. Baby boomers basically say they don’t care any more.

Just to show you how out of touch I am, the men in the survey preferred mac and cheese with their wine; women liked to pair wine with wings. And those in the Northeast are most likely to add ice cubes to their wines.

The rules they say they have abandoned:

• Drinking white wine at room temperature instead of chilled

• Holding a glass by the stem

• Filling a glass only half way

• Sniffing a cork

The bottom line: there is no wine etiquette any more.
