Wine And Women! These 8 Things Describe This Intrinsic Relationship!

There are only a few relationships as complicated as that between Wine And Women!

And here, I am given the task to explain it to you. Well, the fighter that I am, I am not going to give up, for the sake of wine, that I promised to self, after I finish this story 😛

Well, folks, the one liner that sums up this complicated wrath is that “Women Love Wine”! This is THE cold, hard truth. And to top it all, it makes us, the sexy ones, look even sexier, and classier! Or at least that’s what we tell ourselves as we uncork our second bottle of the night. There’s no better feeling after a long, hard day of work than relaxing on the couch with your feet up and a glass of wine in hand.

Ahhhh.. I am already feeling the bliss!

And you know what, for women, it doesn’t really matter whether they have a preference for red wine or white wine, the passion for this heavenly liquid knows no bounds of the sorts, well literally!

And while we are on to it, let’s dig the wells a little deeper and churn out some gems that explain the women-wine relationship, in a brighter light! Here are the 8 high-up ones that I could think of.

1. Wine Means Connecting

If you have been a part of the “Sex and the City” generation, I mean those who vouched by the stuff that those 4 magnificent New Yorkers kept discussing, and you desperately wanted to be a part of those deep conversations over wine glasses, you would definitely know what I am talking about! The Connection! Yes! Wine is the tool to connect with girlfriends, and boyfriends, for that matter! Yet, it remains a very female ritual!

2. Wine Means Beauty

WINE, without a doubt makes all women feel beautiful! Instantly! There is so much charm in a slim glass of wine being held by a classy woman and sitting cross-legged on a couch or a bar table, engaged in a conversation with her man! Or maybe all by herself, pondering over life! Or maybe on a lounger with a girlfriend, chit chatting her way out! It undeniably, makes all women look and feel beautiful, wherever they are, with whoever they are!

3. Wine Means Respite

For about a decade, I have read a lot of writers like me,  and many of them have discussed this magical drink, for the boons it offers. And one that needs no mention is that wine has  become a way for women to get through the day, especially when that day includes an increasing number of tasks and roles and the pressure to complete them all with a smile on your face. Wine brings a lot of respite from all the churn-ups of the day! I can vouch for that!

4. Wine Means Calming Therapy

Whatever may be the effect of wine, physiological or psychological, but it helps, to a great deal, to calm the senses! I have often heard myself saying, “Okay, I can handle this if I just have a drink first. It is a drink in the modern times, which is a ‘mother’s little helper’ and young generation’s answer to Valium. Trust me on that. And you know what, the wine companies have exploited this “mother helper” truth and begun crafting marketing campaigns that explicitly address the stresses that working mothers feel. In 2012 the wine brand Cheateau Ste. Michelle introduced an ad campaign targeting working mothers, which clearly said “It’s where you become you again — not mom, not colleague, not chauffeur, cook or cleaner-upper.”

5. Wine Means Love

Drink two glasses of wine one after another and you are already in love with everyone and everything around you! Well, the wine pros are already agreeing with me on this, right? I literally have to sit away from gross looking men, before I could open my wine bottle and gulp down two glasses and feel the bliss! But yes, savouring the nectar with the one you love already, is like an icing on the drool-worthy cake! You bet!

6. Wine Means Class

No one is actually judging you when you are sipping on a glass of wine. You know who is being judged? The girl ripping tequila shots at the end of the bar or a lady throwing vodka down her throat, while at a friend’s party! But, a sleek glass of wine? It means sheer CLASS! More to it, the guys get attracted to wine-drinkers too, for they sure like those classy dames types.

7. Wine Means Health

There’s a reason women drink wine before they go to bed! It eases the senses,  and brings the brain to a resting mode. Only that you must be drinking that glass in the comfort of your home and not a pubbing night out! Just sip on the bliss with your favourite music on, let the eyes go droopy, shut off the lights and doze off, and VOILA, wake-up the next morning, as healthy as ever! Who gets 8 hours of sound sleep everyday, anyways? And hey, try to stick to red wine for these times, it promises health anyways!

8. Wine Means “Forget The World”

Nothing gets you high on life like the a glass of your favourite wine does. The heartbreaks in love, the professional disasters, the bitchy friends, the money matters, the groceries, and the bills; all start to seem so mundane, when you hit a glass of elixir that sparkles in your eyes. Just forget the rest of the world and delve in the pools of divine ecstasy, for the sake of the wine if nothing else.

At last, I still maintain that sipping a glass of wine with or without friends is one of life’s greatest pleasures.

I want my love affair with wine to be slow and steady. And like any romance, I want to want it, not need it.

Hail the WINE!
