Thanks for the info, David. To get more detail on the Infinite Monkey Theorem Winery in Denver, go to:

This urban winery is indeed a very interesting concept and should appeal to the Obama generation of wine drinkers.

check out the infinite monkey theorem in Denver. An embodiment of the answer, as far as I can tell

From what I read, it is a survey of 162 students: 93 male and 69 female, aged 23 to 34. It is a very limited sample and there is no information on how they selected the students.

I too think one should be careful of drawing too many conclusions about millenials from this survey.

The number of participants is relatively small at only 162 students. Moreover, the data is likely skewed due to selection bias. For example, 58% of the particiapnts say they have taken a wine class, which makes sense if you are dealing with students in a wine club.

It is not clear how the survey was administered--at least from one I saw--so we don't know if this was a random sample, etc.

The figures are interesting nonetheless, thanks for sharing.
