While Valentine’s Day celebrates love, romance and your significant other, today celebrates a beverage folks have been enjoying for thousands of years. Whether you prefer the red, white, dry or the sparkling variety, today is dedicated to all things wine. It’s National Drink Wine Day!
Happy National Drink Wine Day
While some people celebrate National Drink Wine Day just about every day of the year, this “holiday” is officially celebrated on February 18th. Whether you are single, married or somewhere in between, everyone of legal age can enjoy this annual holiday! And today isn’t the only occasion celebrating wine either. National Wine Day is also observed in May so now you have two holidays to look forward to!
The Benefits of Wine
Whether you consider yourself a wine connoisseur or novice, wine not only tastes good but may also be good for your health when consumed in moderation. Some experts believe red wine may inhibit kidney stone formation and the development of certain cancers. And some believe certain wines may also reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks as well. While some wine may be beneficial, drinking too much alcohol can be harmful to your health.
