Bring in some Holiday Cheer with the Perfect Wine
When you were little, you remember the days leading up to Christmas. You baked cookies with your parents in the hopes that old Saint Nicholas would bring some holiday cheer. When you woke up, the cookies would be gone and you would find glorious presents under the tree and a giant smile on your face. Well, as you grow older, you experience Christmas a little different. Now, you’re the one preparing for the holiday, wrapping presents for family and friends, and making sure everyone’s checking their list and checking it twice. So, how do you celebrate your hard work? Why not trade in the milk for some delicious wine?

Good wine comes from a very natural origin and so it’s predictable that, when imbibed in responsible levels, it would have health benefits. Science buffs across the country are well aware of this and as a result, the Canadian Centre for Addiction and Mental Health recommend up to 5 ounces of wine a day can be beneficial to your health. Many of these benefits are related to the action of wine in relation to your heart, the level of antioxidants in your blood and happiness.

On Sunday August 5th 2018, Grape Escape Wine Tours will be hosting a very special Afternoon Bicycle Tour. All proceeds will be donated to Meningitis Now UK, whose vision is a future where no one in the UK loses their life to meningitis and everyone affected gets the support they need to rebuild their lives. This charity has been a great support to our family who sadly lost a beautiful little girl Lily in November of 2017. Her parents and family are currently petitioning for the meningitis vaccination age to be lowered in the UK, and also to increase awareness and knowledge of symptoms of meningitis and septicaemia. This condition does not discriminate, and can affect everyone, both young and old across the world! Being vigilant and getting medical help quickly can save lives.

Drinking Red Wine Can Fight Tooth Decay
A Newsweek report in early 2018 says that a bottle of red wine can stop bacteria from causing tooth decay and it doesn’t matter if you choose to drink a vintage or one that is only a year old. This comes as a welcome surprise among Canadians who have a history of cavities.

Beer and barbecue are just fine. But wine and barbecue will blow your mind. Wine lends itself perfectly to the sweet and smoky flavour of classics, such as pulled pork and baby back ribs. A report indicates that 80% of Canadians own a barbecue - that’s a lot of delicious wine to be drunk with dinner
