For one, beer makes you fuller for the same amount of alcohol. A fuller belly is more likely going to leave you wanting to sit on the couch rather than get frisky and do some strenous, uh, exercise. I also imagine that many people prefer the taste of wine on their partner's breath as opposed to beer.
Those arguments work in favor of wine over beer. I imagine with hard alcohol the second-hand taste plays a small part again, but it is probably mostly the frame of mind an individual is going to be in when consuming the different beverages. Wine with a partner is much more romantically intoxicating than shots with a bunch of pals.
