Wine in Movies and TV: 5 Appearances That Left a Mark on Screen

Wine in movies and TV shows is never just a prop: it tells a story and sometimes it triggers a full-blown wine massacre. A sangria made with one of the most expensive wines on earth, a canned kir royal born in a Netflix series, a film that single-handedly tanked a whole grape variety… On screen, what's in the glass says a lot. Here are 5 iconic (or recent) references, each with the fun fact behind it. Spoiler: the last one, you can actually drink. 😉🍷

Wine Gift Ideas: 6 Better Alternatives to the Same Old Bottle

The best wine gift depends on the person you're buying it for: an unusual wine for the adventurous (like an orange wine), an alcohol-free wine for someone drinking less, an original bottle that offers a real experience (U'Weini), a bottle of Champagne to celebrate, a fine wine to cellar, or a birth-year vintage. Whether your budget is €8 or a prestigious Grand Cru, there's a wine gift for every occasion. Tired of giving another random bottle of red that ends up forgotten in a cupboard? Here are 6 original wine gift ideas, complete with price ranges, food pairings, and the perfect recipient—without the wine jargon.

Wine & Music: The Pairing You Didn't See Coming (and Our Playlists for Every Wine)

Yes, wine and music really do go together—and not just because they create a nice atmosphere. Studies in perceptual psychology suggest that the music we listen to can influence how we experience a wine: its intensity, fruitiness and finish. At U'Weini, we've taken the idea one step further by creating three Spotify playlists, one for each wine style: red, white and rosé. You don't need to be a sommelier or a music expert to enjoy the experience. Here's why it works—and the playlists to try for yourself.
