Everyone likes to celebrate their football game with friends and of course a good bottle of wine in hand. Sports gatherings have always been synonymous with alcoholic beverage which is why it wasn’t uncommon to have many references that combine these two element, like when Ben Folds Five released the song “Sports and Wine”

I believe that it’s because many sports fans can relate the characteristics of their favorite bottle of wine to their individual NFL team preferences.

If you watch JustJess from the Wine Channel then you’ve probably seen Jess Altieri of WineHarvest talk about the impact of each wine depending on its character, blend and where it was brewed. Pro Football is the same in many ways, where NFL Rivalries are settled by each team’s athleticism, line up and where it is being played.  Read more...
