Aphrodisiac

Wine or Alcoholalcohol consumption in general in moderate amounts has always played a significant role as a "stimulant of sexual desire" in cultural history (alongside many other means often based more on superstition). Notably, among the Romans, Bacchus (god of wine) was the god of fertility, ecstasy, and wine.

Breaking Down Inhibitions

One is more willing to give in to one's feelings, break down inhibitions, throw prejudices overboard, and is more open and significantly more communicative - always provided that one enjoys wine moderately and sensibly. Aside from this aspect of socialization, wine also directly affects the human hormonal system. This is triggered by the numerous pheromones (sexual scent substances) present in wine. There is a stimulation of the thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, and sexual organs.
