Did you know that May 25 is National Wine Day? If you need a few reasons to enjoy sipping your favorite glass of wine, we are happy to oblige. And, yes, there was already a National Drink Wine Day in February. But when the subject is drinking wine, is anybody going to complain about having two very similar days? So, if you’d like to celebrate, we have three sets of three to share with you about our favorite fermented grape beverage: wine. 

Three Reasons to Celebrate National Wine Day

• Hump Day – May 25^th falls on a Wednesday this year. Toast!
• Red wine has health benefits! The experts say so.

Three Ways to Celebrate National Wine Day

  Enjoy some of your favorite colleagues on the back deck and pop open a few bottles of wine. Don’t forget the snacks. 

• Make it a Rosé.
  The rosé’s this year are beautiful. Pick up a bottle or two.

• Date night.
  Why wait until the weekend to ask that special someone out for a date? Pick up a bottle of Bordeaux, Cab or Zin, and a couple or Rib Eyes, and make National Wine Day about the two of you.
