The 25th of May is Wine Day.

Treat yourself to a glass of wine today! Maybe a glass of one a little more expensive than you usually have? You might be able to find some deals on a bottle of wine today at the shops.

Today, you’ll probably read lots of stuff touting the “health benefits” of wine. We’re just going to say it is probably best to disregard any of the media’s always-changing simplifications of health claims for and against wine, and just enjoy it for what it is in moderation.

Activities for today

  • try wine in a form you don’t usually have it: buy in a small, airplane sized bottle, or in a box, or in a disposable cup;
  • try a wine you don’t usually buy, maybe splurge a little more than you usually do;
  • try cooking with wine as an ingredient;
  • go to a winery;
  • invite your friends over for a wine party, have everyone bring a bottle that they want others to try, with some information about the winery and wine, and then do a wine tasting;
  • make a sangria to enjoy outdoors if the weather is nice.

You can send a friend a Happy Wine Day card for free here: Happy Wine Day e-card
