Pop the cork and pour yourself a glass of Pinot — it's Drink Wine Day! The list of benefits for drinking wine is getting longer and longer by the minute. A glass of wine a day has been shown to improve heart health, reduce forgetfulness, help you lose weight, boost your immunity, and help prevent bone loss.

Wine has been produced for thousands of years all around the world. It's no wonder why the art of making wine has been perfected over the years. Archaeological sites in Macedonia uncovered evidence of early Europeon wine production that date back more than 6,500 years! In China, traces of crushed grapes were found that are believed to be from the second and first millennium BC.

Evidence of wine's popularity? There are over 20 million acres in the world dedicated to growing grapes for the sole purpose of making wine! To celebrate Drink Wine Day, check out local wineries, bars, and liquor stores in your area as many host special events for this holiday. You can also use Drink Wine Day as an excuse to host an impromptu wine tasting party!
