On This Day: Drink Wine Day

Some of you may be asking, “Isn’t this every day?”  We won’t judge you.  However you want to justify you reason for drinking wine, we’re okay with it – healthy heart, boosts immunity, reduces stress, increases libido!  It may seem strange that we have a holiday dedicated to something that may seem like a regular occurrence, but today is a cause for celebration!  The history of wine goes back thousands of years and we all have our preference: Red or White?  Sweet or Dry?  Today seems like a great day to try them all!
