The Super Bowl is one of the few events in American athletics that manages to attract the attention of the entire nation, including those who aren’t big sports buffs the other 364 days of the year. Even if football isn’t your forte, there’s plenty else to draw in viewers, depending on your taste for entertainment the ads, the halftime show, the Buffalo wings, the beer. Or, the wine.
While beer is the obvious choice for Super Bowl celebrations, there’s no rule that says you can’t drink wine instead (or in addition). In fact, it might be an ideal choice: Wine is made to go with food, and is less likely to fill you up, thus saving precious stomach space for snacking.
