What do you prefer red or white wine?

   This is a question that has been bothering me for a while now about which colour wine is more popular, do you prefer a glass of red or white? No being cheeky and putting 'both' or rose, we need a definitive answer here folks!

      I like them both, love a nice fruity red Merlot, but I also enjoy a good Sauvignon Blanc and a nice German white if it is a good quality one.

      I prefer white as I found a few years ago the red wine was giving me really bad headaches. With the white I do not have the same reaction. Not sure why, I suppose I should research this and find out why. I do love both red and white though.

      I prefer red. Perhaps, it is because I used to drink coconut wine reddened with food coloring or something.

   Nine times out of ten I will choose red wine.  I prefer the taste.  It doesn't have to be served chilled, therefore it doesn't take up space in the fridge.  It generally goes with whatever meal I am cooking.  I will have white on a really hot day if I am looking for a cool alternative to beer or a wine cooler.

    Most def. white.  Red makes my ears hurt for some reason and often makes my throat feel like it is swelling up or something and then after just a few sips I end up with a terrible headache. 
    
    I don't know why white or even pink wine doesn't do that to me.

       Sandra,
       Red wine contains a heck of a lot of tannins, which some folk find irritating on the throat/palate due to it's acidic coarseness. Red wine also contains high levels of histamine which again some folk suffer headaches from.
       
       Drinkers of white wine usually don't find these effects.

    Australia has a huge wine industry even though we are usually more known as beer consumers.
    
    I have a preference for Reds , cab sav's, cab merlot, yet as I have become older I am preferring more whites, especially Verdelho's & Chardonnay.
    
    Riesling is my least favorite as I will suffer Chateau De Box (cask wine in a box) wines over this plonk.

    The sweeter the better! My palate can only handle chilled, fruity, sweet wines. I do not consider myself a fine wine connoisseur because I can not stand the dry wines that are best drank at room temperature.  But I am a large quantity oonsumer of all chilled sweet wines. Bring on the Reislings, Ausleses, and don't forget the Reunite Lumbrusco or D'Oro. What can I say!!! I'm s cheap date.

    White wine during the day if it's hot outside, but for the rest of the time, red wine, the drier the better. Tastes change as we age and try new things, once I'd acquired a taste for red wine, it was hard going back.
    
    Anyone for a red? It goes so well with red meat, cheese, pasta, well anything really.

    I prefer a good red even over champagne. However I once had an unbelievably brilliant chablis. Bought the same wine again and inexplicably didn't taste the same. I am a smoker and I find if I have smoked too many cigs it affects the old tastebuds.
    
    looks like red is the clear fav .

    I actually prefer a good glass of red wine with a more fruity flavour.  However since having my child I find that I am no longer able to drink more than one glass at a time (even one gives me a headache) so I find myself turning to White wine, of which there are some very nice ones available at some not so expensive prices either.
    So after all this, I suppose the answer to the question is both but only the white likes me!

    I am rather picky on what wine I have with what, it really depends on what I am going to be eating with it.
    
    If I am having a glass of wine on its own (no food, cheese or snacks) most of the time I would go for red, I am rather partial to the Haut Medocs.  Otherwise, I would have champagne.

    Like others have said, it does depend what I am eating. Usually I drink red with food, but white if I'm having an indian.
    If I'm just drinking wine without food, I will always pick white, as red gives me 'victorian teeth' - not a look I'd like when at a bar!
