UK women still buying Chardonnay

Bridget Jones is your typical wine drinker – and it’s official. According to research by Wine Intelligence, women make up the majority of wine drinkers and what they are buying most of is Chardonnay. But, while women have a reputation for blowing their salary on a pair of perfect boots or a must-have handbag, when it comes to buying wine, it’s a different matter. Girls want their bottle at a bargain price - preferably under the £4 mark. Or perhaps we should say at a bonzer price, since the research also showed that women’s first choice for country of origin is Australia.
