Talk about a great day to celebrate. Then again, this is something that you can celebrate every day if you’re up for it. (Responsibly) So in honor of the day of grapes, her are 5 facts about wine that you may not know:

1. The top mistakes we make when drinking wine are holding the glass by
the bulb instead of the stem . . . opening it wrong, and getting pieces of
cork in the bottle . . . and mispronouncing the name when ordering wine at
a restaurant.

2. How many glasses of wine do you usually have in one sitting? 74% of
wine drinkers say one or two. 9% said they usually take down a FULL
BOTTLE themselves. That’s five glasses.

3. The average person drinks over three gallons of wine a year. It’s been
going up pretty much non-stop for decades. 50 years ago, we drank half
that much.

4. Which country makes the best wine? 19% of Americans say the United
States, which is good enough for second place. 21% say France. Italy is
third at 18%. (“Don’t know” was the top answer at 32%.)

5. Three in four people say the best place to drink wine is at home.

So on your way home today, stop at the store, grab you a lovely wine and a nice charcutier board and throw on some Netflix! (Or the Eastern Conference Finals like me) CHEERS!
