Each year there are numerous wine days celebrating all the varieties and styles that we love. I love trying different wines so these days are always an excuse to buy and drink a bottle! We don't really need a reason but these days always help! ;-)
Some days are formal and recognised, promoted by different regions, and some have been made by fans and enthusiasts to promote varieties they love, but all dates seem to have annual traction.
So mark the dates down and we'll connect around each date and celebrate. Feel free to comment if I've missed any dates you know of, or if the dates are not correct. I've done my best to track down the dates.
