(VinePair) - Whether you’re a hardcore fan of Game of Thrones or just a casual reader/watcher, it isn’t hard to observe that the characters like to drink wine, a lot of wine. But unlike other popular television shows and novels where the beverages being drunk are ones that also exist in the real world, meaning we can partake in them too, the fantasy world of Game of Thrones — and the series of novels, A Song of Ice and Fire — exists solely in the head of George R.R. Martin, as do the wines the characters drink. That means that before watching an episode or digging into a new chapter of one of the books, we can’t easily head out to the store to procure a bottle of Arbor Gold or Dornish Sour Red to happily drink along with the characters. But that doesn’t mean we can’t come close…

Here are the real world wine equivalents you should be drinking if you want to drink like a character in Game of Thrones: ARBOR GOLD – SAUTERNES

Arbor Gold is said to be the finest wine in all the Seven Kingdoms, known for its sweet and delicious flavor, not to mention its quaffability. The wine is drunk mostly by the ruling class and rich, and is considered a treat whenever it is consumed.
