Air signs are the intellectuals of the zodiac. But they aren’t just thinkers, they are doers as well. Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are known for their sharp minds and rational, well-reasoned thought, making them great problem solvers and communicators.
May 21 – June 20
Geminis are youthful, quick, and adaptable. They are also the most talkative zodiac sign, so expect them to be social, articulate, and openly communicative.
Guess what wine goes with everything, and is perfect in social settings, just like a Gemini? Sparkling wine! Champagne not in the budget for you? There are so many different expressions of sparkling wine in white, rosé, and red, you are bound to find one you like.

September 23 – October 22
Natural peacemakers, Libra represents balance and diplomacy – they are symbolized by scales, after all. This zodiac sign can focus on both thought and emotion to assess situations and relationships.
As a Libra, you love harmony, so look for a wine that has all elements in balance. The best rieslings have racy acidity to keep it juicy and quaffable, making it the perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of dishes.

Aquarius is represented by the Water Bearer – a symbol of the gods bringing nourishment to the earth. Understandably, Aquarians are characterized by their deep-rooted spirit of humanity and community, always working for the greater good.
Embrace your connection to the earth and humanity with a wine that has a strong sense of terroir, like a pinot noir or tempranillo.
