Certain Habits

Lots of interesting data reported in Restaurant Wine’s yearly review (as reported by Vinography).

Turns out Americans drink most of their wine in restaurants (where it is overpriced). Every one of the top ten wines by volume is white (or pink) and not, in my humble opinion, very good. The list:

1. Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay, Vintner’s Reserve, CA
2. Cavit Pinot Grigio, Italy
3. Beringer Vineyards White Zinfande, CA
4. Sutter Home White Zinfandel, CA
5. Inglenook Chablis, CA
6. Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio, Italy
7. Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio, Italy
8. Copper Ridge Vineyards, Chardonnay, CA
9. Yellow Tail Chardonnay, Australia
10. Franzia Winetaps, White Zinfandel, Vintner Select, CA
