Looking for a wine that matches your personality the best? Different wines have unique personalities. Wine is complex — just like you! This zodiac signs-based list of wines offers a new way to pair wines to complement the stars.

When it comes to guilty pleasures, wine is at the top of many people’s lists. Enjoying a glass of vino is the perfect way to unwind after a long day or toast in celebration.

There’s nothing wrong with having a variety of delicious wines on hand for when you’re craving a glass after a long day (in fact, drinking wine has some pretty impressive health benefits). But your next glass of vino could be written in the stars!

Now scroll down for your wine horoscope!

ARIES

Bold and ambitious, Aries needs an equally bold wine to match. Try Petite Syrah — a full-bodied red wine with notes of blueberry, dark chocolate, and black tea. Petite Syrah is known for its high tannins.

In India, you can look for Mountain Tides Wine Co., California Petite Syrah or The Crusher Petite which cost around 2000 bucks.

TAURUS

You’re loving, reliable, and a fan of creature comforts, so treat yourself to a soothing wine. Since Taurus is an earth sign, you may enjoy a wine that’s expressive of the land where it was made, like a red Rhône blend — has notes of raspberry, rosemary, and lavender, and is perfect for cozying up on a breezy night.

Pont Du Rhone Cotes Du Rhone that cost Rs. 2500 is the best option for it in India.

GEMINI

Since you’re energetic, witty, and all about versatility, you may try a versatile red wine like Merlot — which can taste slightly different depending on where it’s made.

Boscarelli Merlot Toscana (Rs. 3500) and Thelema Merlot (Rs. 4000) are a few options of this wine available in India.

CANCER

Intuitive, protective, and grounded, your best bet is an equally sensitive wine. Pinot Noir, a light red, is particularly sensitive to the land where it’s grown. It can be fruity with notes of cherry and red raspberry or earthy with subtle hints of mushroom and clove.

Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir (Rs. 5500) and Joseph Drouhin Laforet Pinot Noir (Rs. 4500) are a few options you’ll find in India.

LEO

You love being in the spotlight, so you need an equally attention-grabbing wine. A Syrah — a bold red wine with notes of dark fruit and smoke that will match your passion and zest for life.

Rasa by Sula and Reveilo Syrah are some good Syrah that you can try for under 1500 bucks.

VIRGO

Gentle, loving, and practical, you may enjoy a light and delicate white wine, like Pinot Grigio — a light-bodied wine that goes with pretty much everything. It has notes of lemon, pear, and peach and its subtle tropical flavor makes it a go-to for picnics to socialize over.

In India, you could sip Argento Pinot Grigio, Golden Sparrow Pinot Grigio, Folonari Pinot Grigio, or Pasqua Pinot Grigio which are quite affordable too.

LIBRA

You aim for balance and harmony in your friendships and relationships, so you should try a crowd-pleasing wine like Lambrusco — with harmonious notes of cherries, strawberries, blackberries, citrus, and violet.

In India, grab a bottle of Riunite Classic Lambrusco Emilia IGT or Vin Opera Lambrusco for a taste of this wine for under 2000 bucks.

SCORPIO

Water signs pair well with smooth and complex wines, and since your determination and intensity are important parts of your personality, you should start with an equally intense and complex wine like Chenin Blanc — a rich, medium-bodied white wine with warm notes of yellow apple, chamomile, and honey.

Sula Chenin Blanc (Rs. 600), Dry Creek Sonoma (Rs. 3000), and Stonecross (Rs. 2160) are some good Syrah that you can try.

SAGITTARIUS

Curious, optimistic, and flexible, you’ll like a complex and adaptable wine. You should try a wine with notes of spice and bold acidities like Zinfandel — a jammy red with notes of strawberry, peach preserves, and cinnamon.

Sula Vineyards Zinfandel and Beringer White Zinfandel are good options you can try for under 1000 bucks.

CAPRICORN

You are ambitious, pragmatic, and helpful, so start with a wine that’s equally determined to get things right — Cabernet Sauvignon. This popular full-bodied red wine with notes of black cherry and baking spices is the perfect pairing for deep conversations.

In India, you can look for Apaltagua, Gran Verano (Rs. 2000) & Susana Balbo, Crios, Cabernet Sauvignon (Rs. 3700)

AQUARIUS

You’re rational, intelligent, and happy to march to the beat of your own drum, so you should try a wine with unique flavors, like Petite Verdot — a full-bodied red with notes of plum, lilac, and sage.

Boscwood Petit Verdot & Finca Decero Mini Ediciones Petit Verdot are popular options for this vino in India.

PISCES

Compassionate, creative, and romantic, you’ll love a rich, silky dessert wine like a Riesling — A fruiter profile with lemon, apricot, pineapple, and lime notes, this wine has a high alcohol content, mirroring Pisces’ need to let off steam every now and then.

Sula Riesling (Rs. 900) and Kesselstatt RK Riesling (Rs. 3600) are a few options for this wine in India.
