【Wine Knowledge】A third of UK drinkers say wine is their favourite tipple

By Michael C.

When people talk about the UK, what would you think about? Probably their signature fish and chips, and beers to go with it! However, beer is not the favourite alcoholic beverage in the UK! What would it be? Wine! Voila!

當我們談論英國時,您會想起甚麼?可能是他們的招牌炸魚薯條配啤酒!但是,啤酒並不是英國最喜歡的酒精飲料!葡萄酒才是!

 

A new research in the UK revealed that 32% of UK adult drinkers say that wine is their favourite alcoholic drink, beating beer (25%), and spirits (25%). This is surprising news indeed because I also thought the Brits love their beers!

英國的一項新研究發現,英國有32%的成年飲酒者表示葡萄酒是他們最喜歡的酒精飲品,擊敗啤酒(25%)和烈酒(25%)。這確實是一個令人驚訝的消息,因為我也以為英國人最喜歡啤酒!

 

The research also revealed that crispy dry white wines like Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc are very popular among the UK. The bold full-bodied red wines like Malbec and Shiraz take the 2nd place. This is another surprising discovery since red wines seem to be a lot more popular than white wines in Hong Kong.

研究還顯示,灰皮諾和長相思等清爽白酒在英國非常受歡迎,馬爾貝克和西拉等厚身的紅酒則屈居亞軍,這是另一個新奇的發現,因為在香港,紅酒似乎遠比白酒受歡迎。

Although this research didn’t go into the preferences of vintage / aging, there were other studies showing that young wines are very popular among the UK and Europe. More drinkers have started to appreciate the fresh and fruity aromas over the matured ones. Quezaco is a very good example! This collection of young wines are hot items in the French supermarkets!

雖然這項研究並未研究年份/陳年的偏愛,但其他數據顯示,越來越多英國和歐洲人喜歡年輕、清新的葡萄酒,與傳統的成熟味道相比,更多人開始欣賞新鮮的水果香氣,Quezaco就是一個好例子,這個系列在法國的超級市場可是熱賣葡萄酒!
