Check out this Washington Post blog on red wine versus white wine preferences:

If you prefer red wine to white, you’re not alone.

All but three states—Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa—buy more red than white, according to data compiled by online wine retailer Naked Wines.

North Carolina, Mississippi, Michigan, and Pennsylvania are particularly fond of red varietals—the four buy red wine nearly 60 percent of the time, and white wine only 30 percent of the time. …

A survey conducted this past spring by online wine retailer Corkguru found that 58 percent of Americans prefer red wine, and that that preference spans all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds.

A separate study by California Polytechnic State University in 2013 found that over 60 percent of respondents preferred red wine to white.

And a 2008 paper by the American Association of Wine Economics concluded that “red [wine] appears more appreciated with respect to white.”

Curious, isn’t it, that Naked Wines has no data for some states? Utah is perhaps understandable, though.
