I like to drink a wine "spritzer" when it's very, very hot out, or in social settings i.e. events that last 2+ hours. It's just red or white wine mixed with Sprite, maybe throw in a lemon or lime wedge for fun. Doesn't taste totally alcohol-y, won't get you very tipsy, and looks pretty in a glass with crushed ice. To avoid the headaches that sulfites from wine tend to induce, I drink a gigantic glass of water when I get home and take 2 ibuprofen. (Note: do not take NSAIDs or ibu if you drink a lot--read the warnings on the labels!)
