A few Simple Things!

I found these lil facts and wanted to share!


75 grapes = 1 cluster
1 grape cluster = 1 glass
4 clusters = 1 bottle




...Just so you can visualize how many grapes you are pouring into your typical glass! 75 grapes!! Kind of cool to know.



Another little fun tidbit for all you that drink wine at special celebrations such as a wedding...



In ancient Babylon, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead (fermented honey beverage) he could drink for a month after the wedding!! ( nice gift, I would take that!) Because their calendar was moon-based, this period of free mead was called the "honey month," or what we now call the "honeymoon." Now, im not sure about you, but I LOVE weddings and everything to do with them and I had no idea thats where Honeymoon came from!



You can thank me for that conversation starter when you're sitting at a table at a wedding reception with people you have never met and want to end the silent awkwardness : )



... Your Welcome! <3
