National Drink Wine Day means a chance to celebrate something that's been around since 7000 BC.

And now in 2023, Americans drink and enjoy more wine than any other country, with California topping US states in wine consumption. Firstleaf, America's Most Personalized Wine Company, hopes you'll raise your glass and toast National Drink Wine Day on Saturday, February 18.

So with National Drink Wine Day approaching, here's some overall expert advice to help avoid disaster.

Red wine:

Red wine on a carpet: First blot the stain with a paper towel and then cover completely with salt. When the salt dries, vacuum it all up.
For clothes, white vinegar and laundry soap does the trick: Cover the stain with vinegar, which acts to neutralize the color, then immediately rub in liquid detergent. Wash in hot water. Baking soda and water also works well to help remove red wine stains.

White wine and sparkling:

On clothing, rinse the stain: For best results, turn the garment inside out and run cold water from the back of the stain. make certain the stain is completely gone before drying.
Carpets and upholstery: Soak up any excess liquid with a clean sponge, cloth or towel. Apply a commercial carpet cleaner while blotting away the stain. Do not rub the stain, as that could make it set in further, so the blotting technique is always best.

Use this National Drink Wine Day to try a new bottle, and relax with the knowledge that you're celebrating a long, long human tradition. But try and keep it in your glass.
