Congratulations, America!

This may be a result of an increase in wine knowledge, amazing sommeliers, caring winemakers and great wine! This a wonderful news!

"For the second straight year, the U.S. beat out Italy and France for the most wine bottles bought, a whopping, headache-inducing grand total of 4 billion bottles, or about one case per person"

Someone Just Caught On That We Are Drinking Wine Alone...Without Food...GASP!!

I don't know what world I have been living in but I heard that people are just catching on to drinking wine as cocktails. Minus food. Maybe I have been way ahead of my time or just a plain ol' wine lover.

Beer takes too long to kick in...alcohol at 5% or maybe a little higher.
Vodka, Rum, Gin are at 40% alcohol.
Tequila, good luck.
Wine is anywhere between 11-15% alcohol and super delicious.

I can't imagine dealing with feeling bloated from beer all night long and the liquors get me wasted way too fast. I think wine is a nice pace when you're out drinking. So, Wine Spectator is either having a really slows news week or never leave the wine country where drinking wine when you wake up is okay.

Newsflash: Wine as cocktails have been around forever. The end.

Everything about this was fun! It was a highlight of my career in this business!
