Popcorn with wine? Heck yes. Especially when you’re curled up on the couch, watching a show with someone dear. Munch it alone or, for a casual party, include it with a variety of appetizers such as crudites and dips, cheeses, cured meats, and olives. This is a binge-worthy treat, and the final assemblage takes a few brief minutes. I guarantee you’ll be hooked on this.
