As a wine enthusiast, I never thought I'd find myself writing about divorce. But, as it turns out, there's more to the connection between these two seemingly unrelated topics than meets the eye.
In fact, research suggests that wine can play a significant role in the divorce process - and not just because of its relaxing properties (although, let's be real, those are pretty great too).
As it turns out, wine can actually play a crucial role in divorce mediation - or at least, that's what some experts claim.
According to recent studies, couples who engage in wine-fueled conversations during mediation sessions tend to have more productive and respectful discussions. Who knew that a glass of merlot could be the key to saving a marriage?
Of course, not all stories involving wine and divorce are quite so rosy.
In fact, some research suggests that excessive wine consumption can actually contribute to the breakdown of relationships - especially if it's used as a crutch for avoiding difficult conversations.
