We Need a National Drink Wine Day... Done!

Affectionately known to multitudes as "Mommy Juice", wine is actually antioxidant-rich, has anti-inflammatory components, and may be heart healthy. While you may indulge in an occasional glass of Chardonnay, delight in knowing that as well as quenching your thirst, other benefits may include help with cellular damage caused by inflammation, healthy bacteria, and oxidative stress. Save the date, #NationalDrinkWineDay is celebrated on February 18th of each year, or whenever you really need a reason to clink glasses.

According to the team from National Today, these are a few reasons, Why We Love National Drink Wine Day-

1- Wine Doesn't Make You Fat (Well, Mostly)

While beer is notorious for causing that dreaded beer belly, you can drink wine without worrying about your waistline. Wine has few to no carbohydrates and not an ounce of fat—although it does contain calories (bummer). When consumed in moderation, wine is said to be able to help you regulate your weight. But watch out—too much alcohol can make you hungry and head straight for the fridge!

2- Wine Has Lots of Health Benefits

Let's not forget the real meaning of National Drink Wine Day (besides giving us an excuse to drink): to reflect on the health benefits of wine. When consumed in moderation, wine can reduce the risk of type II diabetes, heart attack, strike, certain kinds of cancers, and liver disease. It can also lower the bad cholesterol (LDL) and boost the good cholesterol (HDL).

3- Wine Has Been Popular Since... Forever

Wine has a rich history—the oldest archeological evidence of wine production was found in Georgia (the country, not the state) and dates back to 6,000 B.C. No beverage has enjoyed such a ubiquitous presence across civilizations and epochs as wine. While wine played a central role in Ancient Egyptian ceremonies, the Greeks worshiped Dionysus or Bacchus as the gods of wine, and the Romans continued the tradition. Wine consumption has also been an important Jewish ritual since Biblical times and was later adopted into Christianity.
