Half of people polled (49 percent) say the first thing they look for when trying a new bottle of wine - is the country of origin, a study has found.

A study of 2,000 adults found 40 percent also look for the grape that was used in creating the wine.

Nearly half (45 percent) admitted to enjoying a glass of red wine over ice, while a quarter (25 percent) judge a bottle on whether it has a screw top or a cork.

The survey, by Invivo, also found that nearly a quarter of those polled (22 percent) sometimes pretend to know more about wine than they actually do.

But nearly half (48 percent) think those who share their wine knowledge while drinking are pretentious.

Graham has taken the time to taste and blend an Argentinian Malbec from Northern Mendoza, which boosts a warm climate and low annual rainfall, creating perfect growing conditions for this variety.

HE-DEVIL is deep purple in the glass with a bouquet of sweet spice and plum compote which envelopes the palate with a sweet toasty finish.

“If you’re looking for a well-behaved wine, this isn’t it!," Graham said.

"My HE-DEVIL was created to turn heads, break hearts and leave you wanting more
 and it’s delivered on all counts."
