Astro Vino: Your 2026 summer

The SAQ is happy to present AstroVino: predictions(ish) and suggestions in accordance with your sign. After all, just because Mercury is in retrograde (again) doesn't mean you can't enjoy a nice drink.

Airies | Taurus | Gemini | Cancer | Leo | Virgo | Libra | Scorpio | Sagittarius | Capricorn | Aquarius | Pisces 

Aries

This summer? It’s gonna be a ride. No surprise there—your calendar is packed with plans, mostly your own doing. A festival here, a new restaurant there, all mixed in with weekends out in nature. You’re craving change—more than ever. But before you slap a “For Sale” sign on everything or start hunting for a new apartment, maybe think travel instead? Way less drastic, way less permanent. The stars are basically telling you to stop charging ahead without thinking—so grab your passport, not your moving boxes.

Resting clearly isn’t high on your to-do list, but hey—take a breather anyway. Even you can sit still long enough for an apéro… ideally with this rosé in hand.

Taurus

A chill Taurus? Didn’t see that coming. But hey, this summer you’re keeping things low-key. You’re feeling grounded, surrounded by your tight-knit crew of family and friends—and it shows. Zen, relaxed, fully in your element. Yup, you’re slowing things down to soak up the season properly. Lazy terrace hangs, long walks, hammock reads, and plenty of great meals. Honestly? Not a bad game plan.

For all those apéros and feast-filled hangouts with your people, the astro pick is a versatile white wine—because why complicate a good thing?

Gemini

Like a butterfly, you drift toward people with effortless charm—it’s almost unfair. This is your full-on “connection creator” season: ultra social, a little electric, and packed with outings, new faces, and conversations that actually keep up with you. It’s making you seriously irresistible… and don’t be surprised if it sparks an unexpected new project, work or personal. The stars are being vague on the details, but one thing’s clear: it’s gonna be creative.

For those conversations that just keep going—preferably around a fire under the stars—a good local whisky is basically mandatory. Best shared with all your (brand new) friends.

Cancer

For you, dear Cancer, it’s shaping up to be a full-on feelings kind of summer. You’re craving a return to your roots—back to yourself and your cozy little bubble. Unlike the others, your season leans soft, calm, and deeply introspective. Don’t worry, you’re not going full hermit—you’re just circling in closer, grounding yourself with family and your inner circle. Fewer people, deeper vibes. Quality over quantity, always.

For those well-deserved self-care moments, this alcohol-free, ready-to-drink Paloma is exactly what you need. No drama, just good vibes.

Leo

Mane in the wind, you’re shining at full blast this summer. Not that you have to try—your natural glow just hangs in the air like your signature summer scent. Confidence has never been your issue, but this season? It’s dialed way up. It’s basically like you’re walking around with your own spotlight. Use all that magnetism to go after what you want—a promotion, a sweet mortgage rate… honestly, who’s gonna say no to you?

We’re picturing you in full apéro mode, bouncing between your different crews, right in the middle of the action, mixing cocktails (hello, Spritz) with this citrus liqueur in hand.

Virgo

No one’s shocked to hear your summer is all about getting your life in order. You thrive on structure, and right now you’re really in the mood to clean things up. Is it finally tackling that garage chaos or cutting ties with relationships that drag you down? Honestly, could be both. Either way, by the time fall rolls around, your life will be looking sharp, tidy, and very on point.

We don’t officially know Marie Kondo’s taste in wine, but let’s be real—like you, the queen of organization would probably go for a crisp, clean white like Émotions Minérales from La Chablisienne. Because yes, even your wine should spark joy.

Libra

Your summer vibe? Think flowy dress catching the breeze—light, effortless, and perfectly balanced. The stars are also lining up for a beautiful season, literally. You’re going to be surrounded by all things aesthetic. Whether it’s a trip to the Jardins de Métis, treasure hunting at roadside antique spots, or giving your place a little glow-up, your life is basically one big mood board right now.

So what are we sipping when it’s all about lightness and beauty? Bubbles, obviously. And with a label this fun, this sparkling pick from Domaine Fouet is totally your vibe.

Scorpio

Ah, Scorpio—still that intense little creature, we see. This summer, it’s all feelings, all the time. For you, it’s go big or go home—you’ve got zero patience for grey areas. People, plans, situations: everything needs to be crystal clear. If it’s not a yes, it’s a no. And honestly? Anyone who hits you with a “maybe” should proceed with caution.

To match your whole “keep it real” energy, nothing beats a nice natural red. Slightly chilled, ideally—to cool things down… just a bit.

Sagittarius

Vacation couldn’t have come at a better time—you’re feeling a deep, almost primal call to get away. You need space to breathe, literally and figuratively. Big cities? Hard pass. Nature is calling, ideally somewhere by the water or the sea. Fresh air is exactly what your freedom-loving soul is craving. And honestly, a solo trip might be just the thing—pushing you to try something totally new.

Speaking of new… we’re willing to bet you won’t be able to resist the Ici Margarita from Cidrerie Lacroix. Go on, treat yourself.

Capricorn

Got goals? Then go get ’em. This is prime time to finally tackle that personal project you’ve been thinking about forever—Mercury’s word, not ours. You’ve also been putting in serious work lately, and it’s paying off… but let’s not forget balance, okay? We’re not burning out at the office or crisping up on the beach. Think sunscreen and strict office hours.

Speaking of balance, you’ll appreciate this low-alcohol Sauvignon Blanc—organic, too, because of course you’d pick something that checks all the boxes.

Aquarius

Your creativity is firing on all cylinders—like a chef turned loose in a market. Ideas are flying so fast, we’re honestly wondering if you even sleep. Thinking differently is kind of your thing, but right now? You’re on another level. Staying neatly on the marked trail? Yeah… that’s not happening. You’re fully off-piste, and the stars are 100% on board. So go ahead—pitch it, share it, and watch people’s eyes light up.

You’ll need something a little bold to match that energy. We’re thinking a sparkling red—because obviously you don’t do boring.

Pisces

For you, this summer runs deep. Your intuition is dialed all the way up, and your senses are basically on high alert. Think emotional superhero—cape not included. You feel everything, which lets you build surprisingly deep connections, whether it’s with familiar faces or brand-new people. Go with it. Trust your gut and ride that beautiful wave of a summer you’re in. Fake vibes and surface-level people? Yeah… they’re not getting past your radar.

You deserve something real and authentic in your glass, like this agricole rum from Martinique. Hello, island vibes.
