Yes, we’ve got a quiz to solve this dilemma for you! Based on your love (or not) for rains, we’ve got a wine suggestion for you. Our scientists at Big Banyan have observed the inner workings of the human mind and the barometrical pressures of atmosphere, and come up with this quiz. Oh, who are we kidding?! There’s absolutely no scientific basis for this quiz. It’s totally made up, and very random. Enjoy the moment of madness.
