The Best Wine for Your Zodiac Sign

Sep 22, 2015 | view 6,628

You could choose your next bottle based on its label — or go for the one that's so you it's practically written in the stars. No, really: Elle.com's Astrotwins and Wine All The Time's Marissa A. Ross have found your perfect match.

ARIES Your Drink : Orange Wine Why : You're not one to get lost in a crowd, so in a world of red and white wine, go for the equally standout orange. Though technically a white wine, it's made like a red, resulting in a sunset-orange color and a tart flavor that's loaded with tannins. The innovative way it's made is the perfect fit for someone who appreciates originality as much as you do.

Aries : Your perfect wine : Orange Wine

TAURUS Your Drink : Barolo Why : You understand that you can't rush perfection — and let's be real: You enjoy the finer things in life when you can — which makes this old-world wine ideal for you. Often called the "King of Wines," Barolo is stored for three years before it's sold, which brings out the drink's spicy, fruity flavor. (Plus, like you, it ages well: Ross says some of today's most popular vintages were bottled back in 1998.)

Taurus : Your perfect wine : Barolo

GEMINI Your Drink : Chenin Blanc Why : You like to experience all life has to offer, and routines bore you to death, so you need a wine that's as versatile as your tastes. Chenin Blanc tastes refreshing as a sweet or dry wine, and its apple, honey and orange blossom flavors pair well with everything from pork chops to sushi.

Gemini : Your perfect wine : Chenin Blanc

Cancer Your Drink : Zinfandel Why : Cancers are known for having a tough exterior, but once you get to know them, they're some of the kindest, most welcoming people around. A zinfandel is just like that — if you take a sip right after opening a bottle, all you taste is alcohol. Give it 30 minutes to decant, however, and the berry and licorice flavors come out, as well as a warmth that lingers long after your last sip.

Cancer : Your perfect wine : Zinfandel

Leo Your Drink : Champagne Why : You're all about living (and celebrating!) the good life, so really, there is no other drink for you. A glass of bubbly goes flute-in-hand with your outgoing personality, but if the price is a turnoff, try Cava. This Spanish sparkling wine is made the same way as Champers, Ross says, but you can often find a bottle at a fraction of the price.

Leo : Your perfect wine : Champagne

Virgo Your Drink : Pinot Noir Why : No, it's not just because you die every time you hear Titus Andromedon's song in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (no zodiac sign is immune to that one). Virgos are purists who appreciate careful attention to detail, and that's exactly how Pinot Noir is made. The delicate grapes can easily die, so growers must be focused on making sure their conditions are just right so the vineyard can flourish, resulting in a light-bodied wine with raspberry jam flavors that you can enjoy year-round.

Virgo : Your Perfect wine : Pinot Noir

Libra Your Drink : Riesling Why : Most people think of Riesling as a sweet wine, but it actually pairs with just about anything — even spicy foods, which clashes with most wines. Not only does it reflect Libras' ability to get along with anyone, but it appeals to the unbridled joy you feel when your drink perfectly complements (and enhances) your meal. It's the no-fail choice for whatever's on the menu.

Libra : Your perfect wine : Riesling

Scorpio Your Drink : Cabernet Sauvignon Why : You're basically the walking embodiment of Selena Gomez's "Good for You" video, so you need a drink that's equally sultry. A cab doesn't disappoint. Many people can't quite pinpoint exactly what makes them so obsessed with this cherry-and-tobacco-flavored wine, they just know they're hooked, Ross says. Doesn't that alluring aura of mystery remind you of someone ?

Scorpio : Your perfect wine : Cabernet Sauvignon

Sagittarius Your Drink : Teran Why : You love connecting with people, and this Slovenian wine's unique flavor gives you exactly that opportunity. Teran is big-bodied, with a gamey plum taste and a hint of iron — yes, iron — that's unlike anything you've tried before. One sip, and you'll want to share it with everyone you know.

Sagittarius : Your perfect wine : Teran

Capricorn Your Drink : Bordeaux Why : To quote Taylor Swift, "we never go out of style" — and your drink shouldn't, either. Bordeaux is every bit as timeless as your taste. It's a classic for a reason, and as someone who values quality and consistency, you'll rest easy knowing that any bottle you buy will have a reliably oaky, full-bodied flavour.

Capricorn : Your perfect wine : Bordeaux

AQUARIUS Your Drink : Biodynamic wine Why : You’re know for your progressive, humanitarian views, and you’re down to try new things, so if you haven’t sampled a biodynamic wine yet you need to get on that. STAT. This wine is made under strict farming practices that focus on sustainability, and it has a pungent, tart flavour that’s closer to a sour beer than a traditional red wine. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, Ross suggests, and you’ll find your new favourite summer drink.

Aquarius : Your perfect wine : Biodynamic Wine

PISCES Your Drink : Pétillant-Naturel wine Why : You hate being labeled or forced into a box; you just do you. That’s why your wine keeps people guessing - bubbly and light, it’s “Champagne’s chillier sister,” Ross says. The fizz isn’t as aggressive, and it has no added sugars, giving it a zesty, tart flavor that pretty much embodies your fun-loving, free spirit.
