#NationalWineDay
Made from fermented grapes or other fruits, wine is an alcoholic beverage that is loved by millions around the world. Luckily, National Day Calendar presents opportunity to taste and learn about the differences between wine throughout the year.
People love wine for a variety of reasons. Different wines have unique flavors from fruity and sweet to complex and earthy. There is a story about the regions and vintages wine comes from, which plays a part in what kind of wine you choose for your celebration.
Wine flavor is influenced by the grape variety, where it is grown and the technique used to make wine. Different grapes produce different flavors, acidity, and aroma. Winemakers will combine different wines to create more complex flavors. Wines made from fruit or honey are often named according to the variety of fruit used.

Why do People Drink Wine?
People who enjoy wine may say it promotes relaxation and relaxed social atmosphere. The mild intoxicating effects of wine can lead to a sense of relaxation and reduce stress. For some, it's a way to unwind after a long day or to enhance a social gathering. Even though there are health benefits to drinking wine, wine lovers will say they drink it because of the symbolism of celebration and the social connection associated with gathering and special occasions.
Winemakers produce white wines from grapes with light yellow-green skins or light red skins. However, it's not the color of the grapes that give the wine its color. It's the tannins in the grape skins that color wine red and also the flavor. White wines are generally sweeter than red wines and are best served chilled. Most red wines are served at room temperature. However, a sweet red should also be chilled for the best flavor.
