Quiz Outcomes

• 1.
  The Exhale

  You are someone who uses wine as a nervous system tool to decompress and downshift. What you are really craving is a reliable, gentle way to let go of tension and feel settled in your body, not another coping strategy to manage stress.
• 2.
  The Reward

  You are a high-achiever who equates wine with earned pleasure and celebration. Underneath the glass is a longing for recognition, rest, and a small ritual that honors your effort, rather than just a treat to numb the day.
• 3.
  The Escape

  You are someone who turns to wine to quiet the noise, soothe difficult feelings, or soften anxiety. What you may actually want is a safer, more effective way to move intense feelings through your body and mind, so they stop calling for the quick fix.
• 4.
  The Fun

  You are drawn to wine because it unlocks playfulness, spontaneity, and the lighter side of your personality. The deeper craving is for more effortless joy and permission to be silly, flirtatious, and carefree in ways that feel authentic.
• 5.
  The Connection

  You are someone who links wine to belonging, intimacy, and ritual with others. Beneath the ritual is a desire for meaningful connection and easy, relaxed ways to feel seen and close, without the interference of alcohol.
• 6.
  The Off Switch

  You are seeking a clear, no-negotiation way to stop being responsible and 'on' all the time. What you really want is safe permission to rest, boundaries that stick, and an evening practice that signals the world you are done for the day.
