Don’t hide the wine from Carly Pearce, especially if it’s a bottle of Cabernet! 

In her 2017 hit, “Hide the Wine,” the singer references bargain wine brand Charles Shaw and its signature “Two-Buck Chuck” that ranges from Cabernet Sauvignon to Chardonnay. While Carly isn’t picky when it comes to wine, she does admit that Cabernet is her “favorite.”

“I like full-bodied red wines. There’s a line in my song ‘Hide the Wine’ that goes ‘Two-Buck Chuck or the high-dollar good stuff,’ so I’ll give you one of each,” she divulges to Kitchn

She also has tips for those looking for a deal, citing Conundrum as her favorite grocery store brand wine. As for a more advanced palette, she recommends purchasing a bottle of Silver Oak when splurging on Cabarnet.

Interestingly enough, the CMA Female Vocalist of the Year winner wasn’t always a fan of wine. In fact, she spilled to Wine Spectator that she didn’t like wine when she first started drinking when she turned 21, and that it took her a couple years to acquire a taste, soon learning that she had a “strong liking” of red wine. 

Carly also shares that she one day hopes to have her own wine brand, and possibly a vineyard, like fellow country singer Kix Brooks, who co-owns Arrington Vineyards in Tennessee. 

“I genuinely want to learn more about wine, because it’s something that I’m really passionate about and something that I love,” she says.
