Date ideas
Hosting a private wine tasting at home gives you and your partner time to try different wines together. Buy three or four bottles that vary in type and flavor. Set up a table with glasses and some paper. Cut cheese and bread for snacks. Taste small amounts and talk about what you notice in each one. The activity takes little effort but creates a nice evening. You do not need to know a lot about wine to have a good time. Just pay attention to the tastes and enjoy the conversation.
Action
Select three or four wines with different styles from the store. Get both white and red options to have variety. Talk to the staff for good affordable choices if you are unsure. This variety lets you compare the flavors directly during your tasting.
Pro-Tip
Choose bottles with screw caps if you do not have a corkscrew at home.
Spicy Twist
Pick one wine that your partner will like based on past favorites.
