We’re drinking more wine — and booze — than ever
I’m not sure how to reconcile this with the earlier news that Beer has eclipsed wine as Americans’ drink of choice — perhaps we’re just drinking more of everything, eh? — but there’s now news that Americans are buying and drinking more wine than ever, according to the Beverage Information Group.
Here’s an interesting quote from the news release:
“If wine continues to grow at these levels, the U.S. will surpass both Italy and France to become both the largest wine market and biggest wine importer in the world by the end of the decade,” says Eric Schmidt, manager of information services for the Beverage Information Group based in Norwalk, Connecticut.
Wow, this on top of the news from last week that Ohioans are also buying and drinking more liquor than ever.
What does it all mean? Hmmmm.
