This is a great day for most of the women I know.
Here are today’s five thing to know about Wine:
- It takes around 2 1/2 pounds of grapes to make one bottle of wine.
- Before corks were broadly used in wine bottles, wooden stoppers wrapped in oil-soaked rags were common. These would need to be changed at least once a year.
- Even though corks were commonly used since the 1600’s it wasn’t until 1795 that the corkscrew was patented. Before then the corks would have caps, similar to champagne corks.
- An average bottle of wine is about 25 fluid ounces( officially 750 milliliters)
- Most ancients urns found in greece, egypt, and the Mediterranean are ‘casks’ that held wine. The sealed elongated box that holds them are called ‘caskets’
