Dates on the wine lovers’ calendar
We always try to find an excuse to drink wine, but there are actually certail international days to celebrate specific wines. Some of these dates are celebrated world over by the wine lovers while some are just made up by the enthusiast, though these still see huge celebrations in many wine loving countries.
Therefore , there are plenty of dates on the wine lovers’ calendar that call for wine consumption. It may be as generic as that—see below—but many holidays celebrate a specific wine grape or way of serving wine. In fact the “varietal” wine days seem like the best ideas, and clever marketing ploys to get the public interested in, or purchasing more, of a particular varietal.
