Introduction
Red wines tend to be a favorite in the colder month and for a reason that is perhaps more complicated than you might think. Typically, red wines have a higher content of alcohol than other styles, which can help warm your body, and in the colder months of the year, who couldn’t benefit from a bit of warmth? Common varieties of wine for the winter include (but are not limited to):
Merlot
Though we admit that merlot can be enjoyed at any time throughout the year, there is something about it that fits perfectly for winter relaxation. It’s almost as if merlot is begging you to sit down, unwind, and turn on the fireplace. Merlot pairs fantastically with savory dishes – consider giving it a shot for your wintertime kickback!
Pinot Noir
Approachable, yet unique, pinot noir is another fabulous choice of wine for your wintertime leisure. This versatile wine brings a lot to the table in terms of taste, and pairs well with a wide variety of foods, so it’s ideal for virtually any meal or dinner party. As one of the most popular wines out there, loads of people enjoy pinot noir, and there’s no doubt you’ll enjoy it, too!
