Coronavirus and Wine


I have been joking with many people that wine is the perfect beverage for consumption during the coronavirus quarantine. 

I maintain that wine is based upon fruit and therefore is a healthy choice. 

It is a liquid and helps to prevent dehydration, and

Most of all, if you drink enough wine you no longer care about coronavirus!

Please note, I do not say this to undermine responsible drinking or social distancing, but rather to get people to smile and try to think of something other than the virus. 

Generally, I am successful in my effort. Most people smile at least. Some laugh!

So let me propose a toast to good health and responsible wine consumption while we are complying with the stay-at-home orders.

Be well, stay safe, and drink responsibly!
