No one knows how August 28 was chosen for National Red Wine day, but surveys have shown red wines are the most popular choice among wine lovers. Wine has been enjoyed for thousands of years, with the first known winery started in Armenia in 4100 BC. The ancient Greeks perfected wine after 800 BC and it became a mainstay of their trade. Wine was popular in Europe after the 1300s AD because drinking water supplies were unreliable. The Spanish brought wine to the Americas after 1500 AD as they explored the New World. Starting in the 1800s, California, Australia, and South American began producing wines which are popular to this day.
Regardless of your red wine preference, come to Ed's Tavern in Lakewood Ranch and enjoy National Red Wine Day on August 28!
