Locust Lane Grapes

According to new research conducted for the launch of the iPhone WINEfindr app, British wine lovers have no idea at all what they’re talking about, or what they’re drinking.

During the survey, two-thirds of the so-called ‘wine connoisseurs’ asked admitted to not understanding or ignoring the advice of sommeliers in restaurants, choosing to bluff their way through the occasion instead.

The survey also found that:

• 25% of those asked always choose the cheapest wine on the menu
• The average price people spend on wine in restaurants is just £12.64

Thank God, we can all finally admit it!
