It's the holidays! Which means spending time with family. Which means drinking, probably.

But what's the best way to go about it? That's complicated. There are a lot of wines out there, after all. Are you looking for light/herbal/grassy wine, or maybe something with a hint of tart cherry/cranberry? A glass with high tannin, perhaps?

This infographic, designed by Madeline Puckette and published by Wine Folly, can help you make these stressful decisions.
