Friends around a rooftop table, the city behind them at sunset.

This is one of the nine Caractère wine characters.

Uplifting

A little lighter

Your answers suggest that happiness doesn't have to be complicated. Sunshine, a funny conversation, a lucky turn down an unfamiliar street — sometimes that's enough. You like evenings that leave you with a little energy for something else you enjoy.

Your wine character is Uplifting. At Caractère, these are wines for an evening that can finally be easy. Open a bottle, cook something simple, and discover that an ordinary day has turned out rather well.

A Portuguese example

Arinto · Bucelas, Lisboa

Try a young, unoaked Arinto from Bucelas: lemon, green apple and bright acidity. A fresh, lively white for the lighter evening you have in mind. That's where we'd start looking for Uplifting.
