“I drink Champagne when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am.

Take a sip...Suzie |

There are over 20 million acres of grapes planted worldwide! An acre yields 908 vines & a vine produces 1/2 gallon of wine. So, an acre yields 454 gallons of wine. This means 2,291 delicious bottles of wine per acre! After all of that math I need to take a sip...Suzie |

Wine is fat free and contains no cholesterol. A 4-oz glass of wine has about 80-100 calories. Guilt-free enough for me! Take a sip...Suzie |
