An open letter to our under 40 women.

Hello -

Welcome to the site you didn’t know you needed (yet). We see you out there with your taut skin, boundless energy, and metabolism that still recognizes the concept of "burning calories." You may think you have it all figured out, but trust us, the wild ride of aging is coming for you like a runaway wine truck. And that's okay. This is your heads-up.

"Why We Need Wine" isn’t just another site—it’s your future guide to navigating the delightful chaos of life after 40. We’re here to tell you it’s okay to gain a little weight (the wine and cheese are worth it), to occasionally not be okay (hello, hormones), and to consider that Botox might actually be the friend you didn’t know you needed. Or not. You do you, boo.

Here’s the thing: Aging isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. Some of us go the au naturel route, rocking laugh lines and gray streaks like badges of honor. Others embrace modern science, smooth out a wrinkle or two, and maybe lift a thing here or there. Guess what? Both are perfectly valid options, and nobody gets to tell you otherwise.

So, use this site as your guide to the good, the bad, and the "what the heck is happening to my body" moments. We’ll share what’s worked for our skin (because gravity is real), our bodies (because pizza is also real), and our mental health (because wine might just be therapy in a glass).

And to our fellow over-40 women reading this: Isn’t it about time someone told them the truth about “why we need wine”?

Cheers to many more stories and many more years!
