Forget about star signs - according to a psychometric test conducted by chartered psychologist Ros Taylor, if you want to know about someones personality, just look at whats in their glass.

The results from the test suggest that a persons choice of tipple says a lot about them.

Customers who regularly bought a particular type of drink participated in the study. They were asked to pick one of five car brands which best described them.

Well focus on the wine results here.

43% of red wine drinkers chose a Volvo Saloon. Ms Taylor says that this suggests red wine drinkers are discerning and mature, and very organised. "They tend to be organised professionals and the type of people who alphabetise their CD collections,” she said.

53% of white wine drinkers chose a Mercedes SLK/Audi Quattro. From this, Ms Taylor concludes that white wine drinkers are entrepreneurial, and might be a bit bossy: "They also tend to be opinionated and independent," she added.

Ms Taylor said the study suggested a link between your personality and what you drink. "It is not the drink that makes the person," she said. "But rather its the person who, quite literally in this instance, makes the drink."

So this Mothers Day, dont just give your Mum any old bottle of wine: choose one which really says something about her.
