Recommending a Book Based on Your Favorite Wine

The next Book Flights doesn’t come out until later this month, so I wanted to make something for my wine lovers to sip on in the meantime. So I thought to myself, what goes better with books than a good glass of wine? And thus, this post was born.

Below, I’ve picked 4 whites, 4 reds, and 3 that don’t fit a tidy category and have paired them with a book that fits that vibe. The point here is not to judge anyone’s taste, just to have a little fun and maybe find something new to read before the summer’s out.

Cheers!

A note on links: I’m an advocate for library books, but I also love to buy a book or audiobook sometimes. If you want to support indie bookstores and my work, consider using the affiliate links in this post. Thank you!

This is the wine you reach for without thinking, the one that’s always on the list and never lets you down. Sauvignon Blanc is crisp, bright, a little grassy, and zippy enough to wake your whole mouth up. It’s reliably, immediately good.

Which makes my recommendation for Sauv Blanc lovers Funny Story by Emily Henry. This is the book half your group chat has already read, the one you can hand to almost anyone knowing they’ll have a good time. Bright, witty, warm, a little tart at the edges, and so easy to drink you’re done before you meant to be. Popular for a reason. Sometimes the crowd is right! (book / audiobook)
