I still haven’t processed 2020, but here we are in 2023 ready to celebrate some wine days. Wine Holidays or Wine Days are a great way to try new wines throughout the year. It also helps take the guess work out of choosing what wine to drink. Mark your calendars and have your wine bottles ready. Show your participation in a wine holiday by using the variety day hashtag on social media. This is as complete a wine holiday list as I could make.
I also started my own wine holiday with my friend, Kleopatra Bright. On January 10, 2023, the third annual Champagne and French fries Day is celebrated. If you know about more varieties that celebrate a day, please leave me a comment. Cheers!

January Wine Holidays 2023
There wasn’t any wine holidays for January so I thought I would make one up! Introducing….

Champagne and French Fries Day is January 10, 2023
Twenty twenty-three will be the third year that Champagne and French Fries Day will be celebrated! Fellow sommelier and dear friend, Kleopatra Bright, and I, are obsessed with the perfect pairing that is Champagne and French fries. So much so that we thought it deserved its own holiday.
Since there’s still plenty of Champagne laying around after New Year’s, we thought early January would be the perfect time to honor this wine and food match! We waited until the 10th when most people have given up on their weight loss resolutions and are dying for some fries. Oh, it also happens to be my birthday. Kleopatra designed these amazing T-shirts that you can buy to show your love with Champagne and French fries, too. Tag #Champagneandfriesday to show us you’re participating.

World Marselan Day is April 27, 2023
Okay, I have to admit, I had no idea what Marselan was before I made this wine holiday list. Turns out it’s a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache, what’s not to love about that! World Marselan Day is celebrated on April 27th every year to honor the creator of Marselan, Paul Truel who was born on April 27, 1924. Though created in France, Marselan has found its home in South America and is planted throughout the continent particularly Brazil. Celebrate World Marselan Day 2023 with hashtag #worldmarselanday.

International Viognier Day is April 28, 2023
This is the third year that International Viognier Day will be celebrated. It was started by a famous wine producer in Australia, Yalumba. Viognier is the white grape that triggers the most memory smells for me and is subsequently one of my favorite grapes. It’s spiritual home is the northern Rhone Valley in France but gorgeous expression are made in California, Australia, and the rest of the new world. International Viognier Day is celebrated on the last Friday of April every year so it’ll be on April 28, 2023. Use hashtag #internationalviognierday or simply #viognierday.
May Wine Holidays 2023
As the weather starts to warm up, you’ll be gravitating towards white wines again. The wine holidays in May 2023 celebrate three of the most famous white varieties- Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Moscato. Also, National Wine Day 2023 is celebrated towards the end of May.

International Sauvignon Blanc Day is May 5, 2023
Have I ever shared my secret to ordering from a wine list when you don’t recognize any of the producers? I always go for the Sauvignon Blanc because it’s really hard to mess it up. Anyway, that’s my unsolicited advice for the day. Drink Sauv Blanc on Sauvignon Blanc Day 2023. Sauvignon Blanc day is celebrated on the first Friday in May. In 2023 that falls on May 5th. Hashtag #sauvblancday on social media is how to show your participation.

World Moscato Day is May 9, 2023
Tell European producers that all Moscato is sweet wine and see their heads explode. While the sweet stuff is not my taste, always drink what you like, but may I encourage you to try a dry Moscato, or dry Muscat, on this day. If you love the sweet kind try Moscato d’Asti and spicy Mexican food for World Moscato Day 2023. Always celebrated on May 9th. Celebrate with hashtag #worldmoscatoday. There are dozens of songs that mention Moscato if you need some inspiration for the day.

National Wine Day is May 25, 2023
Another wine holiday in 2023 that you’ll likely be celebrating without realizing is National Wine Day. I haven’t missed a single National Wine Day in 16 years and don’t plan on missing National Wine Day 2023 either. No one knows when or how it started but do you even care? National Wine Day is always May 25th. Use hashtag #NationalWineDay.

International Chardonnay Day is May 25, 2023
Chardonnay is the most famous white grape in the world. Now, I know some people “hate Chardonnay” and honestly, I’m one of them. BUT it’s a certain type of Chardonnay that’s off-putting and it’s generally over-oaked and buttery Chards from New World wine regions, I’m looking at you California. Chardonnay is also the grape in white Burgundy and one of the grapes in Champagne. So, see? There are plenty of options to participate in International Chardonnay Day on May 25, 2023! It is celebrated on the Thursday before the USA’s Memorial Day at the end of May. This year both Chardonnay Day and National Wine Day fall on the same day. Good luck out there!

October Wine Holidays 2023
October seems to be the month for obscure wine varieties just trying to get some recognition. This is what wine holidays and variety days are all about! I wouldn’t know what Vranec, Prokupac, or Mavrud were without them!

World Vranec Day is October 5, 2023
Here’s an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with an emerging wine region. Though North Macedonia and Montenegro have been producing wines since it was ruled by Ancient Greece, the turmoil of the area has kept these worthy wines from the limelight. Vranec, or Vranac, makes a super delicious red wine. Give is a shot on World Vranec Day 2023. Always celebrated on October 5th. #worldvranecday

Orange Wine Day is October 6, 2023
Orange wine may seem trendy and new but orange wine has been around as long as wine has. No, orange wine is not made out of oranges. It refers to the amber color that occurs when you make white wine like red wine. Usually, the skins of white grapes are removed from the juice very early in the wine making process. For orange wines, there’s extended skin contact. It’s simple yet complicated, don’t worry about it, but try an orange wine on Orange Wine Day 2023. It’s always on October 6th. #OrangeWineDay

International Pinotage Day is October 14, 2023
Pinotage is a red grape that is famous in South Africa but rarely grown elsewhere. It’s a crossed variety, and if you remember anything from biology class, that means it’s a a combination of Pinot Noir and Cinsault. I’ve found that people either love or hate Pinotage. You won’t know until you try it. What better time than on International Pinotage Day 2023! The holiday is always celebrated on the 2nd Saturday of October. Use #PinotageDay on social media to show everyone you’re celebrating.

Prokupac Day is October 14, 2023
Have you ever had wine from Serbia? Me neither! Let’s make it a point to discover this grape together on Prokupac Day 2023, okay?

Prokupac Day is always celebrated on October 14th. #prokupacday

World Champagne Day is October 16, 2023
There’s a few Champagne Days floating around and I don’t see the harm in celebrating every single one. Champagne is more than a wine but a lifestyle (was that cheesy enough for you?). I love Champagne, I do. It’s an indulgence for me so I do try to celebrate this wine holiday. It just so happens to be my first-born’s birthday, the day I became a momma, too, so even more reason to celebrate! World Champagne Day is always celebrated on October 16th. Use hashtag #worldchampagneday.

International Mavrud Day is October 26, 2023
Mavrud is a grape found in eastern Europe specifically in Bulgaria. It is also found in Greece where it is called Mavroudi. The prefix MAV means black, which perfectly describes this dark red wine. The dates was chosen to coincide with the saint’s day of Saint Dimitrov which halts work for the day for fall celebrations. The first International Mavrud Day was in 2021, so be sure to celebrate International Mavrud Day in 2023. #mavrudday

International Carignan Day is October 29, 2023
Carignan is always playing second or third fiddle to the more famous grapes of Spain (where it’s call Carinena) and France that it’s blended with. I think it deserves its own day and its own recognition so I fully support Carignan Day 2023! Give Carignan some love every 29th of October. #CarignanDay
November Wine Holidays 2023
Hold on to your hats because there’s quite a few important wine holidays in November starting out with one of my personal favorite grapes, Xinomavro.

International Xinomavro Day is November 1, 2023
Xinomavro is the main grape of northern Greece. While it has been compared to Nebbiolo or even Pinot Noir, Xinomavro is really a wonder on its own. Winemakers in northern Greece bound together to start International Xinomavro Day to bring attention to this noble grape. Use this Greek food pairing guide to help you celebrate. It is always celebrated on November 1st. I am going to try to celebrate Xinomavro Day 2023 in Northern Greece, shall we make it a group field trip? Use hashtag #internationalxinomavroday or #xinomavroday.

International Merlot Day is November 7, 2023
Even though Merlot is one of the greatest grapes in the world, it never seems to get its dues. On International Merlot Day 2023, be sure to honor Merlot for playing a supporting role in the best wines in the world without grand-standing like its brother, Cab Sauv. Just sayin. International Merlot Day is always celebrated on November 7th. Hashtags #internationalmerlotday or #merlotday are used.

International Tempranillo Day is November 9, 2023
International Tempranillo Day celebrates the best grape of Spain and Portugal. Though, you’ll find it by dozens of other names in the Iberian peninsula, Tempranillo best describes this early ripening red grape (temprano translates to early in Spanish). Lots of great regions to choose from so pick one you’ve never tried before. Here’s a list of food pairings to help you celebrate Tempranillo Day 2023. International Tempranillo Day is celebrated on the second Thursday of November. Use hashtag #InternationalTempranilloDay or #TempranilloDay.

Wine Tourism Day is November 12, 2023
Wine Tourism Day 2023 is a the perfect day to visit a winery. Many wineries around the world have “open doors” meaning that even if they don’t have a dedicated tasting room, they open up their cellar doors and invite wine lovers in. Wine Tourism Day is always celebrated on November 12th though some regions choose to open their doors on the closest weekend to the date. Use hashtag #winetourismday

National Zinfandel Day is November 15, 2023
Zinfandel is one of the greatest wines from California though its origins are likely Croatian. An organization of Zin growers and producers joined together to start this wine holiday to give Zinfandel its due. National Zinfandel Day is celebrated on the 3rd Wednesday of November. Zinfandel Day 2023 is November 15th. Use hashtag #zinfandelday

Beaujolais Nouveau Day is November 16, 2023
“Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!” Beaujolais Nouveau Day might be the original wine holiday. Beaujolais Nouveau Day celebrates the release of the first wine from the vintage. There’s a mad dash to get all the wines to the market on the same day all around the globe- a supply chain miracle. For Beaujolais Nouveau Day 2023, I’m planning on being in France to witness the day firsthand, join me? Beaujolais Nouveau is always the third Thursday of November. Use the hashtag #BeaujolaisNouveauDay.

World Carmenere Day is November 24, 2023
If you’ve been following this blog for more than 2 minutes, you know I’m a huge fan of Carmenere. If you haven’t tried Carmenere, Carmenere Day 2023 is your chance. The holiday started to mark the anniversary of the recognition of Carmenere in Chile. World Carmenere Day is always celebrated on November 24.
December Wine Holidays 2023
The wine holidays in December are few because there’s already so many holidays happening. That doesn’t make these wine holidays any less fun!

International Maratheftiko Day is December 1, 2023
Maratheftiko, Maratheftiko, Maratheftiko! Say that 3 times fast, I dare you. Maratheftiko is red grape from the island of Cyprus. If you think that’s hard to say, it’s also known as Vamvakada, Vamvakina, Pampakia, Mavrosportiko and Aloupostafylo. You must try a bottle of this great Cypriot wine. It’s an ancient grape that’s quite quirky. 2021 was the first year International Maratheftiko Day was celebrated. Be sure to grab a bottle for 2023. #maratheftikoday. For more information visit the official website.

Cabernet Franc Day is December 4, 2023
Cabernet Franc is the proud poppa of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Carmenere, yet few people have heard of it. Discover this underrated grape on Cabernet Franc Day 2023, celebrated every year on December 4th. May I suggest a Cabernet Franc from Villany, Hungary? I fell even more in love with Cab Franc after a visit there. Use the hashtag #CabernetFrancDay or #CabFrancDay.

World Aszú Day is December 10, 2023
Tokaj Aszú is pure decadence. It is the most prized wine of Hungary. Aszú is made from Furmint grapes that have been infected with botrytis, or noble rot. I promise this is a good thing. This naturally sweetens the grapes and makes these outstanding wines. Do yourself a favor and grab a bottle every December 10th when World Aszú Day is celebrated. #aszúday
Pinot Meunier Day is December 16, 2023
Pinot Meunier is the unsung hero of Champagne, always overshadowed by Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Pinot Meunier is also grown in Germany and even Sweden! Well now Pinot Meunier has its own wine holiday on December 16th…it’s somehow associated with bitcoin which makes me cringe a bit, but hey, a wine holiday is a wine holiday. Use #meunierday on social media.

Sangria Day is December 20, 2023
Sangria Day is a great way to end the year. It is an easy to make cocktail with endless variations. You can make traditional red wine sangria, white wine sangria, or even sparkling sangria! Make sure you have the right Sangria glasses! National Sangria Day is always celebrated on December 20th. Celebrate with hashtag #SangriaDay.
