"I’m always saying couples should drink to relax, but not too much," everyone's favorite octogenarian sex advisor, Dr. Ruth, says regarding her new line of wines. "If [the woman] drinks too much, she falls asleep and if [the man] drinks too much, he can’t perform. It’s the same problem for gay couples." That's why Dr. Ruth's Vin d'Amour wines, which hit stores in July, will be low-alcohol.
Where your average wine has a alcohol content of 13 percent, Dr. Ruth's wine will boast just 6 percent alcohol. The better to get it on! "My idea is that just the right amount [of alcohol] will awaken your senses and arouse you," the adorable sex advisor says of her vino.
And while we're a little sick of celebrity sips these days, we'd totally drink Dr. Ruth's wine before we'd sip Pauly D's vodka. What about you?
