As Valentine’s Day<\/a> approaches, established couples are looking for the perfect gift, while those who have yet to solidify their conquests are looking for that secret weapon that will enable them to win the heart of their beloved or loved<\/strong> one.<\/p>\n\n

If you’re looking for something that can turn even a simple romantic dinner into a “high-voltage” situation, don’t underestimate the aphrodisiac properties of wine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Indeed, the seductive power of this noble beverage has been known for thousands of years, and poets and philosophers of all ages have always extolled its aphrodisiac properties-there is no better holiday to prove this theory<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n

Let’s start with science<\/h2>\n\n

Although science has not proven its true aphrodisiac powers, there are some chemical properties<\/strong> of the delicious nectar that have invigorating effects on our bodies.<\/p>\n\n

For example, perhaps not everyone knows that red wine contains an antioxidant substance, resveratrol<\/strong>, which promotes blood fluidity and, as a result, produces positive effects on libido<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Unfortunately, however, despite numerous studies on the subject, scientists have not been able to go beyond this simple observation.<\/p>\n\n

But then why is it that since ancient times this drink was considered a real catalyst for our passions<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n

Ovid already taught us that:<\/p>\n\n

Wine disposes man to love and makes him ready for passion<\/p>\nOvidio<\/cite>Ars Amatoria<\/span><\/blockquote>\n\n

And, if the poet’s words do not lie, perhaps we can find out more about its aphrodisiac potential<\/strong> by abandoning chemical analysis, and trying to turn our gaze elsewhere…<\/p>\n\n

The power of imagination<\/h2>\n\n

We know that desire can have a chemical nature, but its genesis is very often psychological in origin: there is a chemistry of love, <\/strong>which is not synthesized in the laboratory, but created in our heads<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

And probably the aphrodisiac properties of wine should be sought in its power to create very strong images<\/strong> in our minds.<\/p>\n\n

White wines<\/h3>\n\n

Let us think of a glass of bubbly<\/strong>: how many images is it capable of calling to our mind?<\/p>\n\n

\n

In our imagination we inevitably link Champagne to festive moments<\/strong>, often with spicy backstories…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Instrument of seduction par excellence <\/strong>in numerous historical films, such as Casablanca<\/strong> or Breakfast at Tiffany’s<\/strong>, or in the numerous 007s, where the famous secret agent cleverly enlists the help of French bubbles to seduce maidens of all nationalities, in the most diverse situations.<\/p>\n
