Editor's note: This blog post was written by Outdoor Book Club intern Victoria Walenga ![]() At Outdoor Book Club, we believe there’s no better combination in the summer than wine, a good book, and some free time. With summer comes more social gatherings where you might want to impress your friends. This time you won’t be sipping whatever you have in the wine cabinet. Your wine will have a pairing purpose because it goes with your favorite book. But with so many books — and so many wines — to choose from how do you know which ones to try next? Comedy / Funny MemoirsIf some of your favorite books are written by authors like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Issa Rae, Mindy Kaling or Amy Schumer, this is the wine you should pair with your next summer read:
Dark / Serious / Mystery / Murder / ScaryIf you’re a dark, thrilling, mystery book connoisseur with favorite titles such as Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, The Shining, Doctor Sleep, or Disappearance at Devil’s Rock, these are the wines you should pick up the next time you’re at the store:
Literary ClassicsWho doesn’t love the classics? If your favorite books include The Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, Pride and Prejudice, Animal Farm, and Lord of the Flies, then this wine is for you:
RomanceI must admit, I am a sucker for all things romantic. If some of your tried and true books include anything from Nicholas Sparks, Nora Roberts, T.S. Krupa, or Jane Austen then here’s the wine for you:
Uplifting / Inspirational / Self-HelpLast but not least, if you’re an avid reader of life-changing inspirational books that tend to revise your outlook on life, then here’s the perfect pairing for you:
So do you have a favorite wine/book combo? Let us know in the comments!

This is great! But I'm really into vinho verde this summer...whatcha got for me?? 10/5/2018 01:18:17 am
I didn't know there is an ideal wine for me if I prefer reading a particular genre of the book.In my case, I prefer reading romance and comedy books, depending on my mood at the mood. So I guess, chardonnay and champagne would me really happy and sober at the same time. Though both wines have a very low alcoholic content, it will lawyer have its effect to someone's body. Perhaps, it's because it has the capacity to set someone's mood while reading, isn't it? 8/31/2020 03:37:45 am
