A friend of mine sent me a link to a nice graphic of per capita RED wine consumption in the world in 2006. I thought it was fun, so I’m just sharing.

St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow, and I normally think of this as a beer, not a wine, holiday. Though I don’t get giddy over the idea of drinking green beer like some people do, I still like to throw back a few Irish brews on this debacherous day.
