An adventurous drinker, you'll try new varietals and bottles from up-and-coming regions. Gadgets are more fabulous than a great glass of wine. You know your way around a wine list, but will comfortably ask the sommelier for suggestions.

When dining out, you believe in the modified swirl-and-sip, then you engage the sommelier in a thoughtful discussion on stemless wine glasses.

You're all about gadgets. The popularity of the screwtop leaves you stricken with fear that your pneumatic corkscrew will become obsolete.

Leftover wine? No problem. Your trusty wine pump preserver, complete with vacuum rubber stopper, makes this a non-issue.

Your wine-drinking motto: anything but Chardonnay.

Your night in with someone special is influenced by an alphanumeric system that cross-references wine critics’ ratings against average retail prices.

With limited but expanding wine knowledge, up-and-coming wine aficionados are clever enough to ask the right questions at their local wine shop. The answers they get often lead them straight to the unbeatable quality and merit of Spanish wines. They may not know Rioja from Priorat, but they know value!

When it comes to crisp whites, Vina Mein Blanco or Vina Sila Las Brisas are two Spanish selections that top the list.

For big, plump, easy-drinking reds--such as Telmo Rodriguez Dehesa Gago or Vinicola del Priorat Onix--Spain proves once again to be a superb source for unbeatable wines.
