I have certainly had some sweet red wines. Certainly not as sweet as Moscato or Reisling, but not overly dry. Perhaps they were blends.

No.I drink a lot of wine. it is not described as sweet or dry here.

A proper Englishman's answer. I like British beers a lot, particularly ESBs and agree with you about lager. I'm glad to find such common ground, even though my preferred gin's are not the same as yours (I think Bombay Sapphire is only popular because of the blue bottle and media hype,) preferring Beefeater and Broker's myself. I also love stouts and porters (and find it odd they are not grouped together in this poll.)
Sapphire is probably over-hyped now but I first drank it about 25 years ago when it was far from popular. That's when I discovered that less tonic is better.
 
Stouts & porters are fine in moderation and great in winter, but I find them too filling to drink during "a session".
 
I will drink bottled ale (at a push), and those from this brewer are rather fine (Tripple fff) - (their ales have classic rock & prog rock names, which is nice)
 
 
 
What?

Dry red wine would be my favourite, but I also like some beers (preferrably stronger ones, 6.5% and up, or old Gueuze and some Kriek). Whisky (single malt or blended), Cognac, Gin and Vodka are fine as well.
 
Cheers Beer!

I think the categorisation for beers is fine, except I'd put IPA's in with ales. At least you did split beers into categories.

Personally, I'm a real ale drinker; current favorites:

You've been drinking the wrong vodka.

Eh, probably under the vague"lighter" beers. I'm not too picky with categorizing beers.

I agree.  I love wheat beers but I'm not crazy about IPAs.  And I'm not sure what "etc." means.

(Personally, I think "beer" should have just been a single choice, and that's what I would have voted).

What category does Busch Light fall under?

I invented the cherry margarita when I swapped this after running out of Cointreau

Really good vodka does have a distinct flavor, it's just that I have never cared for it. For me all vodka is just unfinished gin.

I haven't. I'm a big lover of beer, and I like trying out different kinds of beer, but I do it all too seldom, for some reason. Will try out Lervig the next time I get the chance.
