   I’d be delighted if you’d add it to the list.

13. Hi Julian, sorry for my slow reply! No sorry, I am only aware of the above wine days. Sorry I can’t be of more help!

14. Great page and site Casey! Do you happen to have a list of any official International Wine Months? I select wines for a monthly wine club in the States and I love organizing them around themes. Thanks!

15. Hi Jan, oh I do like the sound of Riesling Weeks – I am 100% behind that!!! I haven’t noticed many events here in Australia specifically for German wines. It would be nice though as I love German wines and attended a fabulous tasting in London quite a number of years back. And no I also haven’t had the chance to taste Ezerjó 🙁

16. Hi Casey,
    I know, ‘International Riesling Day’ is March 13 … but in Poland dated 01.06.2021-31.07.2021 (!) the office of the Deutsches Weininstitut (German Wine Institute) is arranging and supporting promotions and events of “Riesling Weeks”, which is the part of an overall promotion of german wines.
    Warm summer, chilled riesling … why not!
    Have You met any similar events for german wines in Your country?
    Best regards
    Jan

    Have You any opportunity to taste Ezerjó meanwhile?

17. I sure am Elise, you can find me at @travellingcorkscrew

18. are you on instagram?

19. Fantastic, thanks for the heads up Jan!

20. Hi Casey! Have just learned … something absolutly new!
    1st International Ezerjó Day … was yesterday, May 16!
    So now, these who would like to taste this Hungarian endemic grape variety wine have 1 year to get it for 16.05.2022 …
    Or, to try earlier …
    Best regards

51. Thanks Stephanie!

53. Oooo thanks for that Sacha – I’ll update it, good spotting!

54. Hi Casey,
    Was just checking on the upcoming days to see what I had to look forward to while in lock-down and noticed an error. World Lambrusco Day is on the 20th June, 2020 according to their Twitter feed.
    Happy Malbec drinking for today though… 🙂

55. Thanks so much for the heads up Peter, I’ll add it in now 🙂

56. International #FurmintDay is on February 1 every year …

57. Hi Sacha, thank you so much for that – I am going to update it right now – most appreciated 🙂 Cheers, Casey

58. The Wine Geek’s International Rose Day on the 14th August is no longer promoted and your website link goes to an error page.
    The National Rose Day on the 2nd Saturday in June is only celebrated in the USA and is more of a promo for the Bodvar brand.
    However the Organisation Internationale du Rose have launched an International Rose Day on the fourth Friday of June each year. Perhaps this is more relevant to everyone?
    See more info below:
    https://www.provencewinezine.com/an-international-rose-day-is-launched-from-provence/
    http://www.rose-day.fr/organisation-internationale-du-rose/

    Time to update your list again perhaps? 🙂

59. Is there one? I can definitely add it if there is 🙂

60. What about Riesling?

61. Will do, thanks for the heads up!

62. You should add Carmenere Day, Nov 24.
    http://www.winesofchile.org/es/news/11-2016/este-24-de-noviembre-celebramos-el-d%C3%ADa-del-carmen%C3%A8re

63. Oooo brilliant, thank you for the heads up on that one Alesha!

64. Casey Thank you!)
    Carignan Renaissance has proclaimed the last Thursday of October to be Carignan Day.

65. Ooo thanks for the heads up Thomas 🙂

66. Thanks for providing the list of wine days to celebrate, very convenient. Just an FYI, there is a typo for March 2019.

67. Thanks for your comment Maike and I am so glad you ended up finding my post 🙂 Your International Cabernet Day sounded fantastic!! I’ll do some research regarding Syrah Day and see what I can dig up. Thanks for the heads up and cheers!

68. I read about International Cabernet Day on facebook yesterday, googled it and ended up here 🙂 I live in Germany and of course, my family decided to join in the celebration. To make it even more international we had one bottle from South Africa and one from Chile. Thanks for the inspiration and your list! My husband was looking for a Shiraz Day. I found a facebook-post saying that International Syrah Day was on Feb 16th. Maybe you’d like to add this to your list. (I counldn’t really find out who started it though)

69. Thanks for the heads up Katti!

70. I believe National Zinfandel Day is the 3rd Thursday of November.

71. Ooo brilliant, thanks for the heads up Johan!

72. International Pinotage Day is on 14 October 2017

73. Haha nothing wrong at all with celebrating 2 days in a row Carmen – practice makes perfect right 😉

74. Thanks for this!!!! I almost celebrated Cabernet Sauvignon day too early, imagine I would’ve had to celebrate two days in a row! Hmmmmm….

75. Your welcome – enjoy all the upcoming wine days Villa 🙂

76. Great post, thanks for sharing the list…

77. Oh my, how terrible of me not to already have that on the list! Thanks for much for that JME – adding it now 🙂

78. What about National Rosé Day? It is the second Saturday of June. This year it is June 10, 2017. Is it an international declaration?

    National Rosé Day was submitted to and approved by the registrar of National Day Calendar in October of 2014 by Bodvár – House of Rosés – a Rosé House specializing in Rosé wines to raise awareness and give Rosé lovers a day to celebrate with “summer’s water”.

79. Thanks for the heads up on Tannat Day Bugabea!

80. El día del Tannat del Uruguay (nuestra cepa insignia ) es el 14 de abril. Lo fijó la autoridad nacional del vino.
    In Uruguay “Tannat Day” es 14 abril. Uruguay is known over the world because of Tannat.

    http://www.wineriesofuruguay.com/notas/leer/inavi_establecio_el_14_de_abril_como_dia_del_tannat

81. Awesome thanks for the confirmation Derek!

82. Thanks for sharing this list of important holidays! One correction: Chardonnay Day is May 25th this year (2017); it is defined by creator Rick Bakas as the Thursday before Memorial Day (U.S.) each year (similar to #CabernetDay in the autumn). Cheers!

83. I have done some further research and the US National Drink Wine Day is Feb 18th for sure (which I say we make it Global Drink Wine Day) and #ChardonnayDay should more accurately be the 26th of May – every year – you can find more details here: https://tigchandler.com/2011/05/30/international-chardonnay-day/ & http://grapevine.webologyworlddemo.com/world-chardonnay-day-26th-may/ I have updated the post accordingly, cheers for the heads up 🙂

84. Hmm…I’m seeing Chardonnay Day on May 21, and National Wine Day for May 25 in 2017…if Chard day changes as everyone says, then yes, it would be the 25th. Can anyone clarify?

85. Hi Carma, yep some of them will change and yes I will be doing a 2017 version 🙂

86. Hey Casey! Do you know if all these days are the same each year or if they change? Or are you looking at putting together a 2017 list at all?

87. Thanks Carolyn!

88. November 19, 2016 national Zinfandel day

89. Awesome thanks for that 🙂

90. Rick Bakas, who actually created International Cabernet Day back in 2010, says it’s the Thursday before Labor Day meaning Thursday 1st September this year, FYI.

91. Awesome thanks for the heads up guys!

92. International Chardonnay Day is the Thursday before the last Monday in May (Thursday before American Memorial Day), so it will be May 25 in 2017.
