You know that red meat pairs well with an Amarone. You know that a Muscat complements a nice piece of fish. But, do you know what goes best with wine of any hue?

Laughter.

No matter the wine, it is best served with good times. In fact, we’d argue that nothing tastes better than that feeling you get with good company and good conversation. Lots of psychological factors affect the taste of wine. Perhaps a good joke will help too.

When the wine flows, so too does the conversation. But, if you find it running dry, here are some of our favourite wine jokes you can use to get back on track.
