Love, wine, sparks

It is hard for me to remember an out of routine intimate encounter that could be considered, you know, alcohol free… Of course, I’m skipping here the twice-a-week love-making people usually experience in committed relationships. It’s the affair, the romantic surprise or hot anniversary I’m pointing at. Those evenings when you put your stilettos on, wishing for something perfect. When it’s a first, or a very special night in.
White in the summer, red and even hot in autumn and winter, wine is the drink most associated with passion, carnality and all lust in the world. Ever since the ancient times of orgiastic Bacchic rituals, the wine had a very special power, or raising sensuality and unleash inner forces. People were surpassing inhibitions, role playing, lies, and, in vino veritas, nothing but the naked truth was aloud in th game.
Nowadays, drinking wine it is as well an erotic ritual as it is a social one. When drunk moderately, of course. It brings people together, it brings up honesty and warmth in their relationships. It makes them more open, more adventurous. Shy people find their way to witty flirts, overcoming their tremendous self-awareness. It has, maybe, turned into a modern cliche, but having a wine with your loved one is an ultimate delight, and a sure, smooth way to some uninhibited bedroom stories. ‘Cause, it’s a good moment to share your kinky, usually half-repressed fantasies, isn’t it? It’s the time for misbehaving, and, sincerely, I don’t know a better recipe for long burning flames than ever spicy misbehaving.
So, if you have a special night-in planned for this weekend, pick up some lovely Chardonnay, or Sauvignon Blanc, and prepare to play. Wanna go for red? Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir will give a special flavour to your memories, because, dear friends, we truly desire to turn the moment into a true festival of all senses, don’t we? My secret recommendation here? Portuguese green wine, light and sparkling. It’s my personal favourite.
