As many people in the United States continue to find themselves stuck at home, alcohol sales have unsurprisingly seen a drastic increase. Online alcohol orders rose a whopping 243 percent in the week ending March 21, compared to the same period last year. According to a study conducted by researchers at Kings College London, you may want to consider choosing red wine as your lockdown drink of choice.
