Sometimes you don't need a big party, high heels, or long conversations. Sometimes fluffy pajamas, a good TV show, and the quiet clinking of two wine glasses are enough. Welcome to a rebellious wine evening – true to the motto: Be rebellious, stay home, and enjoy the perfect tipple in style. Because a cozy evening with wine is more than just a plan B – it's a statement for self-care, enjoyment, and a truly good mood.
Red wine & drama: The classic for a lovely wine evening
If your TV show night is getting really emotional, a red wine is a must. A rich, full-bodied red wine provides just the right depth for getting lost in the characters on screen. The taste of dark berries, a hint of spice , and a fruit that lingers on the tongue – perfect for a pajama-watching experience.
Your wine evening will be even better if you consciously take your time: Dim the lights, grab your favorite blanket, and open the bottle with a sense of anticipation. This moment belongs only to you.
Our tips for your red wine evening:
- Pair it with a selection of cheese, dark chocolate or warm finger food.
- Take two hours just for you and your glass.
- Put away your phones. Unless you want to post your gift to yourself.
- Choose a series with depth – the more complex the story, the better a velvety red wine will go with it.
White wine & comedy: light, fresh, rebellious
If you like laughs, light TV fare, and straightforward dialogue, then white wine is your TV buddy. A sparkling Chardonnay not only brings lightness to your glass , but also freshness to your evening. Perfect for laughing with friends or relaxing on the couch alone.
A white wine is ideal for evenings when everyday life simply melts away. It pairs well with crisp snacks, fresh thoughts, and cheerful stories . It's exactly what you need when your head is full and your heart is light.
Our tips for your white wine evening:
- Finger food with cheese (goat cheese is particularly good), vegetable chips or shrimp on skewers are excellent.
- Cold snacks that don't distract from the action provide a freshness boost.
- Combine with comedy series or documentaries where you don't have to read every dialogue.
Sparkling Wines & Reality TV: Pop the Cork!
You want glitter, trash, and drama? Then you need sparkling wine. Sparkling, loud, a little over the top – like the finale of any good reality show. And yet just the thing for a little rebellion in the living room.

Our tips:
- Get your wine glasses ready.
- Cool the bottle well - preferably an hour beforehand.
- Enjoy the aromatic nuances with each round of the show.
- Perfect with chips with truffle oil or sweet popcorn.
