Wine Not?

Depending on the country you are exploring with your TravelMates, the legal drinking age may be below 21. If you’re of legal drinking age, try hitting up a vineyard. You’ll get to experience local cuisine and the unique flavors of the host country’s wine. There is absolutely no downside to trying wine. Channel your inner Bacchus, get to a winery, and begin consuming this amazing beverage in whatever quantities you choose!
