Ah wine, is there truly anything more wonderful? For those of us who partake, wine can be so many things to. Wine can serve as a way to relax after a long and stressful day. It can be a romantic gesture we share with a partner, be they and old one or new one. Or wine can be what we use to bond with fellow moms while we vent our frustrations and celebrate our triumphs. The point is, there is a wine for every time and place, so why not use it for body art inspiration?
When it comes to tattoos, it is all about getting something done that brings immense joy. Some people choose to tattoo themselves with quotes that inspire them. Others get portraits of loved ones, or get work done to honor their passions. Considering the various uses for wine, it makes sense that it can serve as some of the best subject matter for a gorgeous tattoo.
For all of the vino enthusiasts out there, we pulled together 20 tattoos that totally capture the variety of wine and the multiple ways it can be celebrated. From classic traditional tattoos to artsy homages, we'll raise a proverbial glass to these gorgeous tattoos.

Anatomy of Wine Tattoo
Ask any vintner about the process of making wine, and she'll say that it involves a lot of love, grapes, and labor. This tattoo pays homage to all three. It clearly shows the process from growth to cork s an intricate one, and this tattoo totally capture the intensity of it well.

Vintage Vino Tattoo
We love a good vintage, whether it is a vintage wine or a vintage Chianti bottle tattoo. I'm pretty sure every Italian grandmother had one of these bad boys on her mini bar cart. It's such a special way to honor the love and history that is behind wine-making.
Corkscrew Tattoo
This tattoo might well have a double meaning. While it is clearly an image of a corkscrew used to open wine and remove the cork, the alternate word, "corker," actually means "an excellent or astonishing person or thing." We'd say this is one corker of a tattoo.
