Wine is awesome. FACT.
Hands up if you love a glass of wine or two? Don't worry, you are most certainly not alone! The ultimate me-time accompaniment, it's escapism in a bottle and a well-deserved treat after a day of, well, just being a mum really.
It's delicious, comes in all different types, flavours and colours, and it's made from fruit so surely counts towards one of our 5-a-day right?!
From red to white, rose to prosecco, we all love a sip of the cold, crisp stuff every now and then (or every day - there will be no judging here!)
So whether you're something of a wine fanatic or just love nothing more than the comforting feeling of a glass of wine in your hand, this round-up of things all wine lovers know to be true will certainly ring a few bells.
