National Wine Day

May 25th is National Wine Day in the United States.

Wine is an alcoholic drink made from, usually, fermented grapes, although other fruits can be used (drinks made with other fruits are often called by other names, though, such as cider for apples).

Wine has been consumed for a long time, dating back over 8,000 years. It is often associated with religious ceremonies. Wine is produced in many countries around the world, although some have a better reputation for the quality of their product than others (you can get English wine, but it is rarely considered to be quality) and there are different colours available, such as white, red and rose, which are the most common.

Some wines are sparkling, with champagne, which can only be produced in a specific region of France using specific grapes, being the best known of such.
