London, Apr 2 : Women have invaded men's terrain a little further - a new study has found that ladies buy eight out of 10 bottles of wine to drink at home.

The study, which shows women as the major buyers of wine, prompts experts to urge wine brands to cater for feminine tastes, reports The Sun.

According to the UK study, 55 per cent of the 1,300 British women quizzed said that red wine was their favourite, followed by 35 per cent who favour white wine and seven per cent rose.

More than half of the British women questioned for Vinexpo said they were not put off by health warnings.

Around 4,306 women across the UK, France, Germany, Japan and the USA were questioned. (ANI)
