Valentine’s Day is no time to be a wine geek. But, if you know a little bit about the sensual world of wine, why not make it work for you? CheapWineFinder is a couple of guys, but we’ll try to make this guide gender-neutral – you know, using our vast knowledge and wisdom for the good of all. Valentine’s Day is not all about chocolate – sure it makes you happy, but does it affect your judgement? No it does NOT – that’s where wine comes in. We’ll try to distill all this information
down to a few user-friendly categories based on type of relationship. Just plug in the the type of your Valentine’s Day relationship, and voila you’ll find the right wine to help you achieve Valentine’s Day Nirvana.
First Category : Married Couple
Like B.B. King says, “The Thrill Is Gone”, but we have other plans. Kids, work, mortgage, familiarity, etc. can all turn things the most boring color of beige imaginable. This is a job for high alcohol content! You need to pop the top on a big, bold, really, really tasty bottle of wine – but with the economy being the way it is you don’t need to being paying $100 bucks a bottle. That will only lead to more stress. The solution is two bottles of one the following under $20 wines: Yangarra Shiraz, Ringland’s Ebenezer Shiraz or Turn4 Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines will wipe stress and worries away and leave only warm feelings of LUV. Treat them, even look at them like you did when you were dating (think big juicy steak) and a couple of bottles shared will leave you both relaxed, amorous and maybe even ready to do the things they have refused to do for the last 10 years.
Been Together Awhile, But No Ring
This is a touchy category – it could be,”Why change a good thing” or it might mean a holding pattern until you find a better place to land. We’re not going to get involved in any of that, but we’ll try to make the most of the day. This is where you need to spend a little money. Now we’re not fans of this wine, but maybe if you plop down for a bottle of Silver Oak you’ll be reassuring enough to get the desired results.
A Couple For Awhile, But No Allusions
This is someone you take to Weddings and other events that you don’t want to go alone to, but maybe you’ve been seeing another person or two in the past year. You have fun with this person, but something is not quite right. But who cares – it’s Valentine’s Day. I recommended two bottles of wine for the Married Couple, but I’m calling for three bottles of wine here. Now, don’t spend too much – Kung Fu Girl Riesling, Woop Woop Shiraz and Ravenswood Vintner’s Blend are the way to go here.
First Valentine’s Day Date
Ahhh, ain’t love grand. This this is where you need to be your most devious. I’m calling for sparkling wine – the first Valentine’s Day date does not quite call for French Champagne. Prosecco from Italy is a nice choice, sweet but light. The bubbles will go straight to your victims head, but you the pouncing tiger will be sure to not drink too much. If you forget and drink too much, you and your new sweet thing will still have had a great evening.
The Booty Call
All those hours of sexting and impromptu wee hour rendezvous call for a bottle of Choco Vine. $10 and there’s never another reason to drink this stuff. Bring it over next time you get the code texted to you (most likely NOT Valentine’s Day since they probably has a sig O) and forget about getting the glasses – you need to drizzle that nasty stuff all over their body and sip them silly.
Home Alone
