Few things fit together so well and provide as much joy as mixing wine and chocolate. Wine and chocolate complement each other and are a match made in heaven because they share qualities like acidity, sweetness, and bitterness. Some swear that this match is the key to happiness; here are some of the reasons for this:
Endorphins release
Wine consumption may release endorphins, the so-called happiness hormones that help relax and create a sense of wellness and pleasure.
Increase dopamine and serotonin
Wine can increase dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain, which makes us feel good. Furthermore, chocolate is related to happiness because it increases serotonin production, a chemical neurotransmitter that improves mood.
Chocolate also has other substances that contribute to a sense of well-being, like phenylethylamine and theobromine. The first one is associated with falling in love; it may act as an anti-depressive. The second one is a natural vasodilator that stimulates the nervous system.
Symbols of love, passion, and connection
Wine and chocolate have been part of the celebrations and unique moments in life since ancestral times; both are universal symbols of love, passion, and connection.
This pairing has never been as spectacular as the new Lady Godiva’s proposal created in alliance with Santo Tomás winery. An epic bitter chocolate stuffed with Cabernet Sauvignon red wine that, when paired with a magnificent Cabernet Sauvignon from the same Santo Tomás winery in Baja California, creates a supreme ritual for an unparalleled happiness moment.
