Who said you need to head to the nearest bar to indulge in a fine glass of wine? Just because you aren't really a fan of nightclubs and crowded music halls doesn't mean you can't pop open a nice vintage and relax on a Friday or Saturday evening. Here are some of the best places to sip on an especially tasty glass of the good stuff - all from the comfort of your home.

1. In bed. As long as you make sure there's a place rest your glass, who's to say you can't sit back, turn on your favorite television show and spend the evening sipping on a 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon? All the better if you can catch a showing of the classic film Sideways on cable.

2. In the bath. Why not enjoy some bubbly while surround by an array of bubbles? Bathing is one of the best ways to blow off steam, and when accompanied by libations, all the better.

3. While cleaning. Yes, it's no fun to do those dishes, but when you can take breaks in between loading the upper and bottom racks to enjoy an especially tasty beverage, it suddenly doesn't seem like a chore. Just try not to uncork your favorite bottle while cleaning the carpet.
