Whether a hard day at work, or a day full of surprises, the best way to wind down is with a glass of non-alcoholic wine. Sipping on a crisp, summery white or a deep, intense red, you can set the tone for the rest of your night. And what better way to enjoy a restful evening than with a movie? With a multitude of streaming platforms, your TV beckons. Below is a list of the best movies to complement your favourite wines. Sit back, sip and relax.
MERLOT AND THE INVITATION
This movie is a slow burn. There’s a slight hint of more to come at every scene of the film, and it tantalizingly lures viewers in. This is perfect for a lush glass of non-alcoholic Merlot. With every suspenseful act, the wine is sure to soothe, leaving you on the edge of your seat for more. The movie seems almost strange at times, and eerie, and Merlot is the best ‘comfort wine’ to make this viewing experience a fun one. Make sure to turn out the light when you watch this one to add to the thrill.
CHARDONNAY AND BLENDED
While the name of the movie might seem to call for Sangria night, this little feel good flick is a choice pairing for a glass of non-alcoholic Chardonnay. Light, breezy and leaving you with a permanent smile on your lips as you watch, “Blended” is one movie that’s sure to enhance your Chardonnay evening. Whether you are a fan of chick flicks or not, this meet-cute is sure to have you in the best of spirits. Add to it some African jungle vibes, and it captures the simple yet vibrant flavours of a good Chardonnay. This is a great way to end a day on a truly happy note.
ROSÉ AND OCEAN’S EIGHT
Non-alcoholic rosé is not just a pink visual treat for the eyes, but packs a punch in taste as well. This makes it the ultimate drink to pair with a watching of “Ocean’s eight”. Sexy, bold and confident all-woman lead cast? Check. Money heist for the ages? Check. Humour? Check. This pairing is great for girl’s nights, or even a solo movie night. And similar to the movie, rosé captures the allure of femininity with layers of flavors which vary from bubbly to deep. Turn on the movie and get ready for some action-packed fun, all while sipping on a drink that’s a treat for the eyes and the mouth.
CHAMPAGNE AND THE GREAT GATSBY
- Scott Fitzgerald may not be the first to pop in your mind when you think champagne. But this beautiful movie based on the book is a sure fire hit especially with a flute of non-alcoholic champagne. The flappers, the endless raging parties and the poignant tale of love and loss is a perfect match for non-alcoholic champagne. This film will have you feeling things, and what better way to enjoy all the emotions than with some delicious, fizzy champagne. Who needs a party to pop open a bottle anyway? Weekend wine nights will do!
