National Wine Day or #WineDay is celebrated on May 25th each year and is an opportunity to appreciate the delicious elixir we have all come to know and love.

There is nothing quite like enjoying a delicious meal while cleaning the palate with wine but this year women of the world celebrate with a bit of a heavier heart.  A new report was released by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) that states women who consume just one alcoholic beverage per day both pre and post menopause have an increased risk of having breast cancer.  Sometimes it just stinks to be a lady, we have to deal with all the lady stuff, child birth, half the calorie allowance that guys get in a day and now, we can’t enjoy one little glass of wine at the end of the day!

The research says women who drink the equivalent of one small glass of wine(five ounces) or a bottle of beer per day pre-menopausal, their breast cancer risk increases by five per cent and post-menopausal their breast cancer risk increases by nine per cent. Does this kind of information make you re-evaluate your love of wine?
