Check out your star sign and discover what wines you like!

Aries
Very definitely red – with a peppery kick that says: “Notice me!” and a hue that glows in the light suggesting the heat and warmth of a smouldering fire.

Taurus
White or red as long as it’s good quality, smooth and slips down like satin. White has more calories though, and as Taureans are prone to weight gain, better to have reds more often.

 Gemini
White, light and sometimes sparkling. Not too dry, and delightful chilled but still good when you forget to put it in the fridge and can’t wait for it cool!

 Cancer
Dolce, dolce, molto dolce! This sign loves and even adores sweet white wines and also those that are medium sparkling. If it's received as a present – so much the better, so much the sweeter!

 Leo
White wines with a golden hue, full of the sun and warmth of Italy, from Lake Garda to the island of Sicily. If it has a good lineage and fine family name this sign will be irresistibly hooked!

 Virgo
White or red but white is preferred. Is it organic? Are the vines lovingly tended in a happy environment? It’s got to be good, then! I’ll take some oil, too!

 Libra
Soft, gentle whites and rich fruity reds that bring people together and make for truly convivial, and also romantic, evenings.

 Scorpio
Rich, dark, strong passionate reds, with irresistible smoothness and seductive fragrances, from well-established cantinas that are known for their exclusivity and discretion.

 Sagittarius
Wine tasting is an adventure. This sign will try them all – including the rose –to discover the excitement and satisfaction of finding a real gem – especially if the price is right, too!

 Capricorn
Pedigree is the keyword, here. White or red, if it has noble ancestry and an established history, it’s a must have. If it is difficult to acquire and rare to find, you’ll find it in Capricorn’s cellar.

 Aquarius
The newest and/or most novel wines in any year will attract. White wines may be preferred but red will be accepted. Is it different? Is it unusual? Does it drink well un-aged? Is it reasonably priced? I’ll have it, then!

 Pisces
Crystal clear whites with a light fruity quality and a gentle subtle perfume are a delight to this sign. Dry or medium, either will suit. Can be sparkling for a special occasion!

Wine Lore...

"In vino veritas" (the truth is to be found in wine)

"Good wine is a good familiar creature if it be well used."
William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
Othello, II. iii. (315)

"And Noah he often said to his wife when he sat down to dine,
'I don't care where the water goes if it doesn't get into the wine'."
G.K. Chesterton (1874–1936)
Wine and Water

"If wine were to disappear from human production, I believe it would cause an absence, a failure in health and intellect, a void much more terrifying than all the recesses and the deviations for which wine is regarded as responsible." – Charles Baudelaire

"Wine, when taken without excess, is a tonic for the muscles and a stimulant for the mind". – Dr Widal

"Blot out every book in which wine is praised and you blot out the world’s great literature, from the Bible and Shakespeare to the latest best-seller. Blot out the wine-drinkers of the world and you blot out history, including saints, philosophers, statesmen, soldiers, scientists, and artists."
Julian Street. Table topics, 1959.

"Wine is the drink of the gods, milk the drink of babies, tea the drink of women, and water the drink of beasts."
John Stuart Blackie

"Wino Forever"
Johnny Depp
(The tattoo once read 'Winona Forever'!)

"Wine gives us liberty, love takes it away.
Wine makes us princes, love makes us beggars."
Wycherly
The Country Life

"It is well to remember that there are five reasons for drinking: the arrival of a friend; one's present or future thirst; the excellence of the wine; or any other reason."
Latin saying

"LIFE'S TOO SHORT TO DRINK BAD WINE!!!
