| | 🍷 A Toast to National Red Wine Day. Florida doesn’t need fancy wine cellars to keep the glasses full. In 2021, the state enjoyed about 83M gallons of wine overall – and reds like Cabernet, Merlot, and Pinot Noir are among the top favorites. Across the U.S., red remains the most popular choice, with about half of adults preferring it over white or rosé. DYK? Average bottle price: $15 Florida ranks among the top wine-consuming states Spanish settlers first planted grapes here over 400 years ago. Florida’s wine history started in the 1500s, long before California became famous for grapes.🍇
✨ Things To Do: Take a weekend trip to Lakeridge Winery & Vineyards, Florida’s largest premium winery. Tastings, vineyard tours, and live music make it a perfect getaway trip for winelovers.
