Whether you’re feeling dapper or depressed, the UK online wine merchant, Oddbins, pairs wine to suit your emotional state.
Finally, wines to go with the occasion or sentiment rather than the standard red meat, white meat or fish categories!
Like Drinkify.org, that pairs booze to tunes, Oddbins also offers music pairings with each of its wines.
Contemplating revenge? Oddbins suggests listening to the theme song of Godfather while drinking the Primitivo 2010 Vini del Sole and eating, can you guess? You got it: meatballs!
After a bad date, Oddbins recommends drowning your sorrows with a bottle of Morellino di Scansano Ventoso 2010, preferably while listening to Portishead.
Just got promoted? According to Oddbins, the perfect promotion celebrating wine is Stockman’s Station Central Otago Pinot Noir 2009 with Crowded House playing.
Oddbins’ mood/wine matchmaking categories are adventurous, contemplative, adversity, going-out, staying in, passionate and celebratory.
All you have to do is determine your mood, and they do the rest.
For wine lovers more temperate or on Prozac, Oddbins also features the more conventional categories of country, grape, price and style.
