U.S. presidents are pretty sophisticated people, we like to think. But how savvy are they about wine?

It varies. Wildly. In honor of Presidents Day, Feb. 16, let’s check some out:

George Washington

The father of our country toasted his inauguration with Madeira wine and kept a good supply at Mount Vernon, paying for it with flour from his plantation. Madeira, a Portuguese wine from the island of Madeira, off Morocco, was the go-to wine of the revolutionaries because, being fortified with brandy up to 20 percent alcohol, it wouldn’t spoil under poor storage conditions.

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson was a wine connoisseur, educated while U.S. ambassador to France. He had a spacious wine cellar at his home at Monticello, filled with wines from France, Italy, Germany, Madeira, Spain, Portugal and Hungary, according to Forbes-.com. He tried for years to grow grapes at Monticello, but they succumbed to downy mildew.

James Madison

The father of the Constitution drank French Champagne.

James Monroe

J.M. drank a sherry cobbler, made of sherry wine, citrus and sugar, served over crushed ice. Historians call it “America’s first cocktail.”

John Quincy Adams

This president knew Madeira so well he once identified 11 out of 14 in a blind tasting, according to an item in The New York Post.

John F. Kennedy

JFK and wife, Jacqueline were sophisticated about wine. They liked France’s respected Bordeaux Château Hautt–Brion Blanc, and Dom Pérignon Champagne was their house wine, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Lyndon Johnson

This Texan was a Cutty Sark Scotch whisky drinker himself and decreed the White House henceforth should serve American wines at state dinners, Wine Spectator says.

Richard Nixon

When entertaining guests on his yacht, Sequoia, Tricky Dick was widely reported to have his aides pour him superb, expensive Chateau Margaux Bordeaux from a bottle hidden in a towel, while serving his guests lesser wines.

Jimmy Carter

The man from Plains, who had made his own wine from grapes from his farm, stuck to alcohol-free sparkling wine while dining at the Willard Hotel, according to its bartender.

Ronald Reagan

The gipper, a former governor of California, served his state’s sparkling wine instead of French Champagne. He sent in a supply of wine from Beaulieu Vineyards, Sterling, Stag’s Leap and other California wineries.

George W. Bush

This president did a lot of beer and bourbon in his youth, his wife told ABC News, but he stopped drinking after his 40th birthday. His go-to beverage while in office was diet cola with a slice of lemon, according to The Washington Post.

Barack Obama

The current president’s best-remembered alcohol outing was the 2009 “Beer Summit.” He sipped a brew with Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and police Sgt. James Crowley, who had arrested Gates for disorderly conduct, setting off a racial controversy. Obama had a Bud Light (which didn’t endear him to beer sophisticates), Gates a Sam Adams Light and Crowley a Blue Moon. Obama already had displeased some uppity wine fans when he told People magazine that under-$20 Kendall–Jackson Chardonnay was a staple in his house.
