Finding the right balance during a lockdown can be challenging, but you should always make time to relax and enjoy a good sip of wine or beer in between those hectic moments. While we all look forward to the day when we can BYOB to a house party with friends, we can borrow a bit of the sentiment and get booze delivered to our doorsteps, share with housemates or family, or the ‘in’ thing by logging onto Zoom and share a drink over video chats.

And though you don’t need an excuse, here are some fun ways to enjoy a booze session – at home.

Sports games
Recommended drink: Beer

With the UEFA Euro 2020 about to kick off, football fans will have some exciting matches to organise watch parties. Aside from the must-have hot snacks and dipping sauces, nothing goes better with a soccer match than a cold beer!

Home cooking
Recommended drink: Wine

Whether cooking a full course meal for the whole family or deciding to spoil your partner with a romantic dinner, wine is that perfect drink that you can sip on and let it do its magic.

And it doesn’t even have to be for dinner. Sunday roast luncheon with the family? A nice bottle of red or white always pairs well. Weekend brunch at home? Get some champagne for Mimosas (and no, it’s not too early to start drinking!).

Game night
Recommended drink: Beer

Organising a game night or weekend activity for your household can be a great way to take a break from daily responsibilities and let off some steam.

Board games, action games (like Charades or Pictionary), card games, video games, or even something unique like a murder mystery; game nights are a great way to bond with your loved ones over a fun activity while providing a little escape from your daily routines.

Bonus points if you manage to incorporate the drinking into the games!

Movie night
Recommended drink: Wine….or beer! Or both!

Let’s face it, we’re spending a lot of time in front of our TV screens during a lockdown. Whether a proper popcorn movie night with a pre-agreed upon movie title, or a series multi-episode binge, your choice of drink should really depend on your genre of choice.

Romantic movie or psychological thriller? We recommend wine. Comedy or action movie? Then go for beer.
