JaM Cellars, the makers of Butter wines, results also revealed that 61% of respondents prefer modern, currently running reality TV shows to older, classic reruns.

Interestingly, 66% of baby boomers prefer new, modern shows, more than any other generation.More than three-quarters (76%) prefer to rotate between different shows rather than watch the same one and another 59% prefer to stream their content rather than watch it live on cable.This may be because 64% would rather binge-watch an entire season than watch one episode at a time.

More than two in five (43%) of respondents polled would like to be a participant on their favorite reality TV show. The top shows Americans would like to participate in include: Family Feud (15%), Big Brother (9%), America’s Got Talent (9%), Deal or No Deal (8%) and even 60 Days In (7%) or Survivor (6%).“Apparently America’s favorite reality TV viewing experience is to tune into ‘America’s Got Talent’, get the girls over for a watch party, pour some wine and binge watch a season (or two),” shared Michele Truchard, Co-Founder JaM Cellars, the makers of Butter wines. “I think this finding speaks to this genre of shows that have become such a cultural and social phenomenon that we enjoy sharing with each other—and making it an every-day special occasion with food and a glass of wine.”The survey, which only polled Americans ages 21+, also revealed that 59% of female respondents are likely to include watching reality TV in a “girls night in.”Another 39% have watch parties, with essentials such as soda (67%), chips and dip (64%), finger foods (53%) and wine (48%).In fact, more than half (52%) are likely to sip on a glass of wine while catching up on their reality TV shows.
