Today Is National Wine Day!

Wine Drinkers…Rejoice! Today is a day for you!

Today is National Wine Day!  I am not a wine person, but I know many of you are.  My pallet just does not appreciate it.  But for many, it is a great way to relax.  Or let loose.

Americans drink an average of 4 glasses of wine a week.  For various reasons.  But some interesting stats on wine that may surprise you:

1. The main reason we do not drink a glass of wine after work or dinner…is because we do not want to open a bottle.  To be fair…sometimes…it can be really hard to do so.
2. 3 out of 4 people say their favorite place to drink wine is at home.
3. If you host a party and serve wine, you will throw out 3 partially full bottles.  That is Alcohol Abuse!

And a final thought…many wine drinkers have shared this with me…8 glasses of water a day seems totally unreasonable…but 8 glasses of wine a day…totally realistic!
