MANCHESTER United ace Wayne Rooney really is a vintage pro — he's become a wine connoisseur.
The England striker lists a snifter of Sauvignon blanc as his top tipple and has been eagerly building up his own cellar.
Wayne, 22, is taking advice from manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who is an expert on fine wines.
Cynics reckon Rooney thinks Sauvignon blanc is the brother of Utd's French former centre-half Laurent Blanc and the only whining he does is when he's booked.
But a source at the club's Carrington training ground said: "You'd think Wayne prefers a pint of fizzy lager, but a posh glass of wine with his dinner is what does it for him.
"He'll be the first to admit he knows very little about wine, but Fergie is showing him the ropes and recommending classy bottles of plonk.
"But he winds Wayne up about not knowing the difference between a bottle of wine and a bottle of vinegar."
