By Matt Goldstein

For only the second time in twenty years, wine has caught up to beer in popularity of U.S. drinkers.  According to a recent Gallup Poll, wine grown in popularity and is only now 1% behind.  This is extremely impressive considering the explosive popularity of craft beer over the last couple years.  36% of U.S. drinkers prefer beer, 35% prefer wine and 23% percent prefer liquor.  We at Whiskey Goldmine love them all equally and are going to try and save the economy one drink at a time.  Check out the overall breakdown below.  This survey has a 4% margin of error.
