Men are more scared of ordering wine than spiders and job interviews according to survey

It seems the message is clear: men should give up control of the wine list, as they are twice as fearful of getting it wrong.

Choosing wine is one of the things that makes Britons most anxious – and men are far more uneasy about it than women.

One in eight (11.5 per cent) men say what makes them most uncomfortable – even more than spiders – is choosing wine in a restaurant or to go with food at a party.

Significantly, women are far less perturbed by picking the right wine with only six per cent listing it as the thing that makes them most uncomfortable.

In terms of day-to-day events that make us feel uncomfortable, spiders still give us the creeps – almost one in six (16 per cent) of us admit to being scared by them.

There are things even more unnerving than spiders and wine but, thankfully, they are not likely to crop up quite as much.
