Wine cellar or wine-producing company. Curiously, a single wine company may nonetheless use the plural form bodegas in its name, as in Bodegas Ismael Arroyo.

April 7th, National Beer Day, honors the day when the first brewery opened in the United States.

Answer: False.

National Beer Day honors the day on which beer was once again legalized in the U.S. after Prohibition (1920-1933). The Eighteenth Amendment, which passed in 1919 and took effect in 1920, prohibited the sale, transportation, and production of alcohol. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Cullen-Harrison Act in March 1933, which allowed low-alcohol beverages like beer to be made and sold in the U.S. (Hard liquor was still outlawed until the Volstead Act passed in December of 1933). The Cullen-Harrison Act took effect on April 7 of that year. Happy National Beer Day!
