A wine-of-the-month club never seemed like such a good idea. You can try mixing one of these winter cocktail recipes from your home bar cart, or turn doing the dishes (the never-ending dishes!) into some kind of drinking game. (“I like to make mulled wine in the winter,” suggests Glamour senior editor Stephanie McNeal.) The one benefit of getting lit at home is you don’t need to worry about paying for an Uber after last call.
If you do want to get out, consider a brewery, distillery, or winery tour. “Even if you’re not a big drinker, a brewery tour is a fun date activity,” says Brown. “It combines all the great elements of a fun date: discovery, walking, and learning. Normally, there’s a great selection of beers to try and delicious light bites as well.”
11. Have a themed cuisine night.

Cannoli and The Godfather. Chocolate and Chocolat. Ratatouille and Ratatouille. Order (or make) a dish you’ve been meaning to try, and do a movie night that’s somehow related to it, whether by location or as part of the plot. You can even dress up and listen to thematically related music. It’s a night in Paris without the hassle or the expense.
12. Take a food tour around the globe.
