Boost Your Feminine Charm with Wine! Taught by Wine Talent Yui

Beer, sake, shochu, wine, whisky, etc...
There are so many types of alcohol, aren't there?
One of them is "wine."
What kind of image comes to mind when you think of it?
Champagne at celebrations, red wine on a date, sparkling wine parties...
Many people probably picture something glamorous.
That's exactly right!!
Wine is a drink that brightens up the setting while enriching our hearts at the same time.
And if you learn to love wine, will your own glamour and feminine charm increase too?
The answer is...
It definitely does!!
This time, I'd like to dive into the mystery of wine and boosting feminine charm.
In fact, women who love wine often tend to be glamorous and stylish.
When I attended my very first wine party around the age of 25,
I remember feeling timid because everyone—both men and women—looked so radiant and glamorous. (Lol)
Why are so many women who love wine (and men too, though we'll focus on the female perspective today) so radiant?
Reason #1: It makes it easier to go to places where people gather
"I love wine!"
"Really? There's a wine party coming up, so let's go together!"
Once you love wine, your circle of wine friends naturally expands.
Especially in today's social media-driven world, thankfully, it's easy to connect with people who share the same interest. Before you know it, you're invited to wine gatherings—or you suddenly realize you've been put in charge of hosting the next wine party!
When you go to places where people gather, you naturally become more conscious of being seen.
"I wore this dress today, so what color dress should I wear next time?"
"So-and-so's accessories were so wonderful today. I should try mimicking that style next time I go out!"
By attending wine parties full of radiant people, your own sense of taste gets refined alongside theirs.
By joining a group of people who share the same passion, you can enjoy not only wine, but fashion as well♪
Reason #2: Wine has high skin-beautifying effects
Red wine contains grape skins and seeds in addition to grape juice. Among them, the "polyphenols" found abundantly in grape skins have strong antioxidant effects, removing reactive oxygen species and offering great anti-aging benefits!!
From anti-aging prevention and boosting skin metabolism to improving acne, dark spots, and wrinkles, to smoothing the blood to lower cholesterol levels and prevent arteriosclerosis—polyphenols are truly a miracle ingredient that brings delight to both skin and health!
Becoming beautiful while drinking something delicious is such a wonderful thing for women♪
What's more, from hot spring facilities offering wine baths to wine sheet masks, the demand for wine in skin care is growing beyond just drinking.
Red wine is even said to have been loved by Cleopatra, one of the world's three great beauties.
Once you start drinking wine, you too might get lovely, hydrated skin!
Reason #3: You learn to savor the taste
When you go to a restaurant, have you ever seen a sommelier take a whiff of the wine's aroma and swallow a small sip before serving it?
Have you ever seen a scene like this?
Are they drinking it just because they want to drink it? The answer is...NO!
Checking the condition of the wine.
It's being checked to ensure we serve delicious and safe wine to our valued guests.
Wine is made all across the globe, and it's said that there are countless varieties. Even if you hold a qualification and work with wine every day, mastering everything is near impossible. Perhaps only Bacchus, the god of wine, knows it all! ♡
However, as you fall in love with wine, you'll start to discover your own palate preferences, even among red wines—like, "I prefer a heavy, full-bodied red," or "I find a refreshing, light-bodied red easy to drink and to my liking."
What's more, as you delve deeper into what you love—such as "Among full-bodied wines, I prefer red berry flavors"—your sense of smell and taste will naturally become refined without you even realizing it.
When that happens, even outside of wine, during meals you'll begin noticing herbal aromas, sauce flavors, and the savory umami of meat that you never caught before, constantly leveling up your idea of deliciousness.
As eating and drinking become more enjoyable, you might discover a favorite local restaurant, or find yourself wanting to visit a three-star restaurant like the one in the drama *Grand Maison Tokyo* for special occasions.
In this way, developing a passion for food and drink raises your level of mindfulness.
It's less about "feminine charm" and more about leveling up your overall personal magnetism as a human being.

CHAPTER 01
◉ Why We Recommend Japanese Wine
Thank you for reading this far! ♪
"Do you have to be a glamorous person to get into wine in the first place?"
"You're talking about complicated things, but I'm happy just if it tastes good!"
Some of you might be thinking this.
"Do you have to be a glamorous person to start drinking wine?" → Absolutely NO!
The author used to be shy and completely indifferent to fashion. (sweat)
However, drinking wine made me feel glamorous—just like wearing high heels—and gave me confidence in myself. I even started researching fashion and makeup. I think the mysterious power of wine gave me that gentle nudge.
"I'm happy just if it tastes good!"
→ Yes, absolutely spot on!! Intuition is what matters most. Eating and drinking delicious things brings happiness, doesn't it? Understanding the backstory behind why you feel that way makes eating and drinking even more fun. Why not explore what "delicious" means to you and treat yourself to plenty of wonderful food and drink?
That's why we recommend "Japanese wine" for wine beginners and anyone looking to level up their charm. Japanese wine refers to wine made from 100% Japanese-grown grapes. Wines crafted from grapes nurtured by Japan's water and land will naturally suit your palate.
Furthermore, the defining characteristic of Japanese wine is that it is:
"Refreshing and easy to drink"
Compared to wines from other countries, the alcohol content is relatively low, and many are crafted with a clean, smooth taste like a flowing river. A great quality of Japanese wine is that, in a good way, it "isn't overly assertive."
It is incredibly approachable and highly recommended for anyone just starting their wine journey.
Finally,
here is our recommended wine for anyone aiming to level up their charm with this theme! ♪
Suntory Shiojiri Muscat Bailey A Mizunara Cask Maturation
This wine is made from an original Japanese variety called "Muscat Bailey A" (a variety refers to the type of grape—like Kyoho, Delaware, or Shine Muscat in everyday terms). It features a charming raspberry-like aroma, and its flavor is fluid, refreshing, and very easy to drink. It's packed with polyphenols, so it's also great for anti-aging!
Made at a historic winery in Shiojiri City, Nagano Prefecture. Since opening in 1936, beginning with Akadama Port Wine tailored to Japanese tastes, they now produce the high-quality "Shiojiri Winery" series.
Muscat Bailey A aged in Mizunara oak casks envelops you in an oriental aroma, making you feel wonderfully chic! ♪ Feeling close to the passion of the winemakers and their history is a major attraction of Japanese wine.
Drink Japanese wine and instantly level up your charm!!
