Picking a wine can be a difficult and arduous process. There are so many to choose from, and they’re all amazing! You love them all like children! Sadly, your budget only allows for one bottle at a time.

If you find yourself stuck in such a conundrum at the liquor store, there IS a solution. Simply turn to one of the most reliable preference indicators available: your taste in men.

I’m serious! How you like your guys isn’t that far off from how you like your booze (for better or worse). Sometimes we want a drink that’s reliable and pairs well with anything. Other times, we just secretly want a drink that knocks us off our feet, both literally and figuratively.

Here are some easy ways to determine which vino will pair best with your Dude Du Jour. The best thing about all of these wine choices is that, at worst, you’ll be over the hangover in a matter of hours. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the men.

The Adventurous Type: Lambrusco

If you’re a sucker for any guy who tells you that he took a “gap year” to “backpack around Europe,” then you clearly have a taste for the adventurous — at least when it comes to other people. To match your thirst for the new and unusual, you need a wine with a bit of personality and spark. If you haven’t tried a Lambrusco, you may soon find yourself in love with this particular vino. Lambrusco wines are chilled reds which are generally frothy and a tiny bit fizzy. That’s right: there is such a thing as a chilled, sparkling red wine. You’re welcome. The best part is that it’s not overly sweet, so it won’t diminish your street cred.

The Bookish Guy: Malbec

If your taste in men tends to veer into the “bookworm” category, then a nice Malbec is definitely your wine match. This red is definitely the sort of wine you drink while engaging in “deep” conversations or debates, or perhaps quietly reading by a crackling fire. It’s easy to drink and goes down smooth — and is only slightly pretentious.
