Rosalie from Hoegaarden blows out 109 candles: "Every day alcohol-free fruit beer"

Rosalie from Hoegaarden celebrates her 109th birthday this weekend, just a year younger than Belgium's oldest resident. Her secret to longevity is drinking an alcohol-free Hoegaarden Rosée daily. Born on November 1, 1917, she has two daughters, three grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. Rosalie lived independently until age 99 and now resides in a care home. Her daughter Anita admires her mother's strength and fondly recalls her strict yet fair upbringing. Rosalie takes no medication and maintains a strong heart, enjoying life to the fullest.
