International Cabernet Day

International Cabernet Day is dedicated to the finest and most popular type of wine in the world. There are two types recognized as the most popular in the world: Cabernet Franc, made from a unique Bordeaux grape, and Cabernet Sauvignon, a hybrid variety of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc.

History

The idea to launch International Cabernet Day arose in 2010 when several wineries got together to increase their sales, and after a while, the event turned into a holiday that spread throughout America.
