Take the Quiz and Discover Your Perfect Read Paired with the Perfect Wine!

Laurel Osterkamp · August 2, 2024

Happy August!

We’re officially in late-summer now, but my days aren’t slow and languid. My summer’s been busy. What about yours?

Tonight, I’m looking forward to unwinding a bit, perhaps with a good book and a glass of wine. In that spirit, I created a quiz:

Pair Your Perfect Read with Your Perfect Wine.

Keep in mind, I am NOT a professional quiz creator, and these results are leaps and bounds away from scientific. Oh, and you’ll have to just keep track of your answers on a piece of scrap paper. (Or in your head. There’s only six questions with four possible responses each.)

Ready? Here we go!

 

1. What type of book do you prefer to read?
a. Classic Literature
b. Mystery/Thriller
c. Rom-Com
d. Historical Fiction

2. How do you like your wine?
a. Red
b. White
c. Rose’
d. Sparkling

3.  How do you wish to feel while reading and sipping wine?
a. Thoughtful
b. In suspense
c. Happy
d. Nostalgic

4.  What type of meal might you be eating?
a. Meat/poultry-based
b. Something spicy!
c. Pasta
d. My mom’s favorite recipe

5.   You like a wine that’s:
a. Earthy
b. Peppery
c. Sweet
d. Dry

6.  You read to:
a. Think and learn
b. Feel your heart race
c. Laugh and swoon
d. Reminisce

Okay…is the suspense killing you?

Tally your results. If you got:

Mostly A: Your perfect read & perfect wine = Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte with a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon

Mostly B: Your perfect read & perfect wine = Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn with a crisp and fresh Chardonnay

Mostly C: Your perfect read & perfect wine = Funny Story by Emily Henry with a Syrah Rose’

Mostly D: Your perfect read & perfect wine = The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride with Prosecco

Okay…is the suspense killing you?

Tally your results. If you got:

Mostly A: Your perfect read & perfect wine = Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte with a full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon

Mostly B: Your perfect read & perfect wine = Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn with a crisp and fresh Chardonnay

Mostly C: Your perfect read & perfect wine = Funny Story by Emily Henry with a Syrah Rose’

Mostly D: Your perfect read & perfect wine = The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride with Prosecco

Do you like your results? I hope so! But, if your answer is…
No worries! I have a solution.
(Warning: Shameless self-promotion ahead!)
You can read one of my books! They go well with just about any type of wine, and you can find them all on Amazon.
