(Bustle) - Wine is the key to happiness. It’s a fabulous friend to end your day with, and especially onNational Wine Day (which is on May 25th), you would be wise to kick back with a glass in your hand. This is a drink that encourages the act of savoring. Savoring is something we all need to do more of anyway. We need to slow down, take in our surroundings, and enjoy the things we have. Because of its sometimes strong taste, it forces you to lower your constant need to hurry through life and look deeper into your current environment. 

Wine is also an alcoholic beverage, so the booze is certainly the main reason everyone loves it. After a hectic day at work, walking through your front door, away from all the ringing phones and email notifications provides instant calm, but it doesn’t completely remove the chaos. You probably have bills on your counter and dishes that need to be cleaned. Chaos is everywhere, and sometimes we need something to make us take a little time to relax. In honor of National Wine Day, here are all the reasons wine is the best way to unwind after work (and why every day should be Wine Day.
