Wine is an industry of romance, filled with lusty dreamers working the land in some of the world's most picturesque settings. So it is no wonder that many winemakers are drawn to romantic cliché in naming and marketing their wines. And while the ploy may typically strike one as a bit kitschy, at Valentine's time, wistful, lustful and seductive are fitting attributes for the world's drink of love. If you're planning something special this V'Day, check out our list of sultry wines that not only offer sophisticated flavor, but also send out a Valentine message in a bottle.
