National Wine Day

History

People have appreciated the taste, light aroma, and beneficial properties of wine since ancient times. The Egyptians made wine from green, white, and blue grapes, in addition to traditional varieties, often adding sugar and fruit. The drink influenced economies, trade, and foreign relations between countries. Wine is mentioned in biblical texts, and winemaking was considered a prestigious occupation, as only developed industries had the resources to produce quality wines. The first wine in the United States was produced in Northern California, from vineyards planted by Spanish settlers in 1812. This holiday first appeared in 2009, uniting wine lovers around the world.
