Valentine's Drinking Games Everyone Will Love

It can be tempting to treat Valentine’s Day like any other day. But whether you’re loved up, casually dating or proudly single, 14 February is still a great excuse to slow down, pour a drink and enjoy yourself.

No pressure. No over-the-top plans. Just good company (or great wine) and an evening that feels easy.

 

Coupled up?

Good news, Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean expensive reservations or elaborate surprises. Sometimes the best plans are the simplest ones. A cosy night in, a favourite film, and a bottle you both love can be just as romantic as any big gesture. Think relaxed, intimate and low-key, with fewer expectations and more time to actually enjoy the moment.

 

Single?

Even better. Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to indulge on your own terms. Get comfortable, open a bottle, and escape into a film where romance is dramatic, cinematic and not your problem. Whether you’re watching solo or hosting friends, we fully support making an evening of it, drinks included.

And because a night in deserves a bit of fun, we’ve rounded up some classic film drinking games to keep things light-hearted.
