This Valentine's Day, make a splash with your wine and concoct a dazzling cocktail that showcases it for all its worth. We're going with reds and roses to keep with the holiday color theme.

Read on for our top five wine cocktails, and be sure to let us know your favorites below!

That White Zin Spritzer looks to be the most vile cocktail I've seen in a long time. Sweet wine, sweet "raspberry" liqueur, and sweet corn syrup based bubbly water? Uh, can ya make it any sweeter? Oh yeah, one more question. Is The Spir.it ever going to seriously write about spirits, or is there always going to be bad fluff pieces like this and lists of crappy Halloween cocktails? The word in the trenches is that folks are getting more interested in real spirits. Hope y'all keep can keep up.
