The month of February has two distinctive characteristics. First, it happens to be the shortest month of the year, though the amount of days it possesses varies upon whether or not it’s a leap year. The second is that it’s often associated with love and romance because of Valentine’s Day which occurs on the 14th. Perhaps you’ve already made plans for that special day, perhaps you’ve even made your reservation at The Vault Downtown. Hover, there’s another celebration occurring in the month of love that we would love for you to celebrate with us. It takes place on February 18th, and it’s known as National Drink Wine Day!
A Vintage History
Wine is one of the oldest drinks known to humankind. While the individual who first discovered the fine art of fermenting grapes may be a fact lost to the history books, evidence of wine-making has been discovered in almost every corner of the globe. Greece, Egypt, China, Rome, and even the Middle East. So far, the oldest winery dates back 4,000 years ago a cave in present-day Armenia. Perhaps one of the most fascinating facts about wine is that the process of making the beverage has remained almost completely unchanged since the days of the early winemakers. Grapes are crushed, yeast allows the fermentation process to begin, and millions enjoy pouring themselves a giant glass in a ritual of pure enjoyment.
