Shower Beer Is Out. Shower Wine Is In.
Picture this: after a long day, where the minutes stretched like miles, and your to-do list seemed to spawn new tasks like rabbits, you finally step into the sanctuary of your bathroom. The outside world, with its ceaseless demands and cacophony, fades away as you close the door behind you. This is your fortress of solitude, your spa, your escape. And what better way to elevate this retreat than with the ultimate companion—#ShowerWine.
Now, let's talk specifics. When it comes to selecting your shower wine, three criteria rise above the rest: cold, refreshing, and deliciously personal.
COLD
Imagine holding a glass filled with a wine so chilled it seems to whisper promises of relaxation with each condensation bead that races down its side. This wine isn't just a drink; it's an elixir of tranquility, ready to transport you from the confines of your shower to a cool, serene vineyard with every sip.
REFRESHING
The heart of #ShowerWine lies in its refreshing nature. Think of wines that tease the palate with fresh fruit and mineral flavors, dancing with acidity in a harmonious ballet. Envision a Loire Sauvy B that sings with notes of crisp green apple and zesty lime, or a Mosel Riesling that carries the essence of fresh apples and pears, underlined by a flinty minerality. These are not just flavors; they are an experience—a refreshing plunge into a crystal-clear stream on a sweltering summer day.
DELICIOUSLY PERSONAL
But at the end of the day, the true essence of #ShowerWine is about what delights you. This is your moment of indulgence, a time to savor a wine that brings you joy, regardless of vintage, varietal, or vineyard. Whether it's a floral Albariño, a berry-laden Rosé, or even a bubbly bottle of Champagne, the choice is yours. Life is indeed too short to drink wine you don't adore. #ShowerWine is a celebration of your tastes, a testament to the pleasures that make life truly vibrant.
As you stand under the soothing cascade of the shower, let the steam envelop you, carrying away the day's burdens. With each sip of your chosen wine, feel the stresses dissolve, leaving behind a sense of peace and contentment. This moment is yours, a personal ritual where the simple act of drinking wine in the shower becomes a profound act of self-care and joy.
Ah, but before you dive into this liquid symphony, a word to the wise: while the allure of a delicate glass filled to the brim with your favorite wine is undeniable, let us not forget the practicalities of our #ShowerWine escapade. The shower, with its slippery surfaces and soap-slick tiles, is no place for glassware. The risk? A shattered glass turning your peaceful retreat into a scene more fitting of a thriller movie. And truly, there's nothing less romantic than nursing a cut foot when you're trying to spruce up for a hot date. So, in the spirit of safety and sensibility, we turn to the venerable tradition of drinking straight from the bottle. Not only does it add a touch of rebellious charm, but it also ensures that your #ShowerWine experience is as safe as it is delightful.
To #ShowerWine is to embrace the art of living well, to find beauty and pleasure in the everyday. It's a reminder that amidst the chaos of life, there are oases of bliss waiting to be discovered in the most unexpected places. So, I invite you to uncork that bottle and step into the shower. Let the water wash away the world, and in its place, let there be wine. Cheers to #ShowerWine, to the magic of wine, and to the exquisite pleasure of enjoying it exactly where and how you love best. Here's to the wines that make our hearts sing and our showers infinitely more enjoyable!
What to drink…
Imagine a chilled French Sauvy B, its lively acidity and citrus undertones offering a refreshing zing that revitalizes your senses.
Or consider a German Riesling, with its delicate balance of sweetness and acidity, floral notes, and a hint of minerality that seems to sparkle under the shower's warm embrace.
Rosé, with its gorgeous hue and inviting flavors of strawberries, cherries, and a touch of citrus, promises a flirtatious interlude that's as refreshing as it is enchanting.
Gamay, light and fruity with whispers of earthiness, becomes a playful companion, teasing the palate with every sip.
The Austrian Grüner Veltliner, with its crisp acidity and spicy notes, paired with the unique peppery undertones, offers a complexity that dances beautifully with the steam and water.
And of course, Champagne—the epitome of celebration—brings its effervescent joy, turning even the most mundane shower into an occasion worth commemorating.
