San Diego local Marie Fox knows her stars and she knows her wines, too. This dual-affection has caused her to start using the line “Hey, what’s your wine?” as standard-practice in her company, 12 Signs Wine.
As a certified astrologer and an avid student of wine, Marie created 12 Signs Wine to blend two worlds that have more in common than the average eye can see. The concept boasts 12 bottles of wine that each distinctly take on one of the zodiac signs, with unique labels and handcrafted flavors to match all zodiac personalities. Consumers can identify their own sign to a wine such as the bold and feisty Old Vine Zinfandel Aries, the bright and versatile Gemini Chardonnay, or the sweet and romantic Pisces Pinot Noir.
Marie and her team carefully distinguish which wines best fit whom by targeting four categories: Fire Signs, Earth Signs, Air Signs, and Water Signs. Air Signs of Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius get paired with the Chardonnay because of the light, bright, and versatile qualities they show. Earth Signs of Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are paired with an earthy, well-structured and sensual Cabernet Sauvignon. The Water Signs of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio that are sensitive to environment and a bit romantic are paired with Pinot Noir, an aphrodisiac considered as the wine of love. And the Fire Signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are especially outgoing, feisty, and dynamic get paired with the Old Vine Zinfandel, a bold statement drink with intense fruit and peppery spice.
Bring 12 Signs Wine home with the popular “Wine & Signs” parties, where a certified astrologer will host a tasting and mini-astrology readings. You and your guests can try all of the delicious 12 Signs Wine varietals while indulging in the all-telling study of astrology.
