Real British men drink beer not wine

According to a survey commissioned by Côtes du Rhône wines, British men enjoy drinking wine at home but will avoid ordering it in a pub. The study of 1,500 adults found that while nine out of ten men would happily drink wine in their own home, just a quarter of men would drink wine on a night out with male friends for fear of being made fun of.

A spokesman for Côtes du Rhône wines said: ”Just a small number of men drink a glass of wine when down the pub. At parties the number increases slightly, and in a restaurant than figure rises to just over half.”

The study also found that a quarter of men serve wines in an attempt to impress their guests while women were generally happier to serve an accessible wine to suit everyone.
