Sometimes all you need for happiness is a blanket, your favorite book about love and a glass of good wine. Such evenings are like a small date with yourself: without rushing, in silence, with emotions born between the pages. And, of course, you want to choose the wine that will perfectly fit the mood.

Let's choose the best wines that enhance the emotions from reading, add warmth and... a little romance even without a partner nearby.

A little advice from a wine-romantic soul:

If the story in the book gives you goosebumps, don't rush. Take a sip. Close your eyes. Let the taste and the plot unite in you.
Because love - both in the glass and on the pages - should leave an aftertaste.
