17 Ways To Know You Need Wine Way Too Much

It’s Friday, the last day of work (a.k.a. paid imprisonment) and you head home to your faithful fridge for a cool beverage and spot a bottle of red wine you opened probably a week ago but…you don’t even think twice, snatch that bottle and drink it dry. Well my dear friend that is a sign you may be addicted to wine.

In honour of National Drink Wine Day, we remember why we love this beautiful potion from the gods that has helped us through heartbreak, work stress, dreary dinner parties, weddings, company events, dull nights in, our badgering parents or occasionally the exasperating friend who just rambles on and on about their “issues”. Because wine has magical powers to help you get through any situation.

Here are some situations you’ve been in that may verify you need that bottle of Pinot Grigio more than you need life:

1 - If your friends ask you to drop by their house, the first thing you ask is, “Will there be wine?” because #priorities.

2 - When you enter a grocery store but leave with a couple of bottles of Sauvignon Blanc (which so happen to be on “sale”).

3 - Being asked if you would like another glass of wine is like being asked if you like money.

4 - When you know by heart at least 5 of the nearest wine stores located around your area.

5 - When you don’t care how much that bottle of wine costs or whether it’s red, white or rainbow coloured. Basically you don’t discriminate.

6 - Your favourite pastime is drinking wine and judging people.

7 - You start to worry your neighbours are judging you based on the contents of your garbage bin and you may need to start separating your glass from the other trash objects.

8 - When there is a potluck and you automatically say you’ll bring the wine!

9 - You are afraid if you give up wine, you’ll have to replace it with murder.

10 - You have a wine store loyalty card.

11 - Your “quiet nights” at home end up with you being drunk on Chardonnay.

12 - When you are at a party and you always end up with purple-stained lips. (No, your lipstick hasn’t smudged or faded out)

13 - When Jennifer Lawrence is your spirit animal because her signature scent is Cabernet Sauvignon!

14 - Your friends give you bottles of wine for your birthday or during any celebration, because they know you too well and love you.

15 - You don’t even bother buying the cork wine bottles, and instinctively opt for the twist-off ones (because life is too short to spend time using a corkscrew).

16 - You repetitively have conversations with your friends about your somewhat questionable drinking habits.

17 - When you sit down at a fancy restaurant, you don’t even need to look at the wine menu because you know the types of wine like the back of your hand!

Ultimately, you do you and enjoy that much deserved glass of wine.
