What Every Wine Lover Needs To Know In Order To Crush Date Night

I’m always looking for dating tips in relation to drinking. Because, let’s be real, dating usually entails meeting for a drink (as much as we may not always want it to) or drinking through dinner.

Now, while I don’t condone getting hammered on a first date, I am a loyal wine lover. And because I love wine, I spoke with Tyler Balliet, co-founder and president of Wine Riot, a huge wine tasting event series that’s held in major cities across the US (the next one is coming up in NYC on September 23-24), to learn even more about it.

Here, Tyler gives us single vino lovers the skinny on what kinds of wines are best to drink on date night, how much to spend, and more.

How much should you spend on a bottle for date night?

“Wine is a lot like fashion,” Balliet says. “Value is in the eye of the beholder.”

While some wine snobs can taste the difference between an $8 bottle and a $30 one, just because one kind of wine is twice as expensive as another doesn’t always mean it’s twice as good — which is valuable information in the event that you’re a) trying to impress your date, or b) trying to dine on a budget.
