A special toast is in order as we celebrate National Drink Wine Day (which if you think about it, should be every day). Whether a luxurious red, a fruity white or a celebratory rosé, each has its distinct, yet alluring appeal that just calls out to us. Before wine used to be a solely European endeavor, with the French having cornered the market. But in today’s market, we can enjoy a myriad of varietals coming from all corners of the globe (except Antartica). Check out some of the top wines you should try to get your *clink* on for National Drink Wine Day.
