You Get Better With Age: 30 Signs Wine Is Your Spirit Animal

If I were wine, I’d be a cabernet…

Ever have a connection with something you couldn’t explain? Ever felt a spirit or presence in something other than yourself? Have you ever seen your soul in something you couldn't quite explain?

Maybe you connected with the stoic nature of an eagle or the piercing eyes of a passing cat. Maybe you felt a weird energy towards some person you never met before or someone you watched on TV.

Maybe you have love for a woman or man you just met. There's a reason for these weird connections. There's a reason we connect with other people, animals and wandering souls. They are our spirit animals.

According to Urban Dictionary:

So, what if it’s always a bottle of wine that’s calling to you? What if you feel most connected and alive with that glass of pinot noir in the corner? What if you feel you've learned the most by the presence of wine in your life?

Some people call it fool crockery, but if animals can have spiritual connections to humans, why can't wine? If it’s just something that represents the traits and characteristics you have, can’t the timeless qualities of fermented grapes make for one?

There are qualities and characteristics to every great glass of wine. There are dimensions that go beyond the bottle and many times connect with our soul.

Being in the presence of wine is a deep and emotional experience, especially when you’re connecting with a few different bottles... Some people see wisdom, others truth, but we all get something out of wine.

It was Horace, the Roman philosopher, who said, "Wine brings to light the hidden secrets of the soul, gives being to our hopes, bids the coward flight, drives dull care away, and teaches new means for the accomplishment of our wishes."

For many, wine has been their guide, their teacher and their soul mate. Wine has shown them things they didn't even know existed in themselves and taught them valuable knowledge.

Wine has been a mastery point for many, reaching that point where mentor and student become one. So for all of you who feel that deep connection that can only be described as “translucent” and “spiritual," then maybe wine really is your spirit animal.
