This is one special day.

A day like no other.

A day that deserves celebration.

Why?

Because it’s National Wine Day.

And who better to celebrate wine’s healing power than Scandal’s lead character Olivia Pope.

With countless Scandal episodes, you can watch Olivia (played by Kerry Washington) throwing back a glass of that get-right during stressful times.

Messy? Maybe.

Reason for concern? Probably.

But when you have a hard job like cleaning up after the president, anyone would turn to God’s gift to the downtrodden.

The conviction of Olivia’s wine pouring alone is inspiring.

So swipe through to see how a day can go from trash to “the glass” in a matter of hours.

You’ll find wine might just be that drink to keep you from clawing somebody’s eyes out.

Stage One: Annoyance

Someone came at you sideways at work.

The stress of a job is reaching overwhelming heights.

Your personal space was destroyed on multiple occasions.

Sounds like you need a remedy for that.

Breakdown

Things are no longer cute and civil. They’re outright hostile. You actually might punch somebody.

There’s only one savory drink that can help.

Sip sip

The bottle’s popped and the wine is poured.

How can one drink be so good to you?

30 sip sips later

Only God can judge.

The healing power kicks in

Your body’s warm, your face is sagging to the ground…

This is why Jesus turned water into wine.

Loosey-goosey 

The vino is feeling so good, you need it in every part of your body.

In your legs, in your arms

…in your soul.

Sleep

And not just sleep.

But you marinate in your bed. Savor every moment…every memory…every gift that the wine has given you for the evening. You deserve it.

Delivert

Are you awake now? Are you healed?

Great, now let’s get that day started and do it all over again later.
