Welcome to My Wine Tribe, a blog dedicated to helping you find wines you’ll love. Take our quiz to discover your Wine Tribe, then follow along to see what others in your tribe enjoy.

Don’t be afraid – the purpose of this quiz is not to pigeonhole you, but to determine how comfortable you are with intense or complex flavors and trying out new tastes. We know you might have more than one answer to a question or that your answers might change depending on the season. But please, choose only one answer.

Once you know your tribe, you can get personalized wine recommendations from others with the same preferences. Be sure to check out our “Wine Picks By Tribe” and find the best wines especially for you.
