🥂 Weekly Data Dive: New Year’s Edition! 🥂   As the world rings in the New Year, an estimated 360 million glasses of sparkling wine are enjoyed globally, making champagne a centerpiece of celebration.   When it comes to resolutions, about 44% of Americans set goals for the New Year, with fitness and health dominating as the most popular choices for nearly half. However, only 8% manage to stick with their resolutions throughout the entire year.   Let’s aim to raise that number in 2025 and make this the year we achieve our goals together!
