7 Good Reasons To Drink Wine

Why do so many of us enjoy wine more than other drinks?

1. First is has alcohol in it and thus has all of the drug like effects needed to cope with life!  But then this is true of beer, cider and spirits as well.
2. Wine goes particularly well with food. Thus many foodies love wine and conversely you won’t find many people who are indifferent to food who love wine.
Fun with food and wine

3. Because a bottle is rather too much for one person to drink and doesn’t keep well once opened, it is a natural drink for sharing. It is a social drink.
4. Opening a bottle of wine is a taste adventure; you never know what it is going to be like until you taste it and perceptions change as the tasting experience continues.
5. To really appreciate wine takes effort, and to learn more about the subject takes even more effort, and most of us are happier when concentrating on something.
6. Some of us like to believe the doctors and scientists who promote the health giving qualities of wine.
7. Some of us like to believe that wine drinking is sophisticated and refined. It is a drink tor those with aspirations.  It seems also be a drink favoured by women.
