What Does Your Wine Rack Say About You?

Wine racks are more than just clever storage solutions – in fact, your wine rack shows your guests just how hospitable you are and gives a sneak peek into your lifestyle, so what does your tipple say about you?

You walk into a house, you see a wine rack and you immediately think, “These people like to entertain.” Whether they throw dinner parties every weekend, or they save all their favourite bottles for the one bash they have at Christmas, the fact that they own a wine rack says a lot. Wine racks appear hospitable, welcoming, sociable and just a little bit upmarket. These clever storage solutions tell the guest that they don't drink vodka shots on a Saturday night, but prefer wine and cheese on one of those expensive boards that come complete with ten different knives.

Having your booze out on display could also suggest to your guests that you are a sharing host. You don't stash all the good stuff away and save it for the Queen, but you have all your best alcohol out on display so everyone can share your luxury lifestyle – unless your wine rack is full of Sainsbury's own and Blossom Hill! So what does your favourite tipple really say about you?

You are What You Drink!

Alpana Singh, at 21, was the youngest person to achieve the title of Master Sommelier after passing the Court of Master Sommeliers' advanced test, which has an average pass rate of 3%. So if anyone's an expert with wines, Alpana's the lady to talk to!

She currently works as a Director of Wines and Spirits in Chicago and is a successful TV personality. Her experience with wining and dining has led to book publications, TV shows and a daily column. And her observations about the type of people who choose certain types of wines can come in quite handy for the rest of us. These are her findings:

• Chardonnay – If this can be found in your wine rack, then you are likely to be fun, buoyant, outgoing and you usually know what you like.
• Riesling – Much like this white, you thrive in harsh climates and you love complexity. You are patient and you always save the best until last.
• Dry Rosé – If you prefer dry Rosé, you are likely to be very adventurous who likes to challenge yourself in every way, including your taste buds.
• Sweet Rosé – According to Alpana , wine racks containing sweet Rosé or White Zinfandel could be the give-away for homely, humble characters who are not too knowledgeable about wine.
• Champagne – If you love sparkling bubbly then you are determined to enjoy life to the fullest, at whatever cost.
• Merlot – Much like the taste, you are easy going, happy to go with the flow and widely accepted as a person.
• Cabernet Sauvignon – This red is known as the 'Katharine Hepburn' of the wineworld and attracts sophisticated people who have a natural grace and elegance about them.
