🥂 January calls for cozy pours and thoughtful sipping.
This month at Embarc Wines, we’re embracing winter with a curated lineup of wine celebrations from around the world. From rich, warming styles to timeless classics, each week offers a chance to slow down, savor, and connect with the stories behind the glass. Settle in, sip along, and discover wines made for lingering winter moments.

Dry January called…
We put it on hold to admire it from afar 😌

Whether you’re going full dry, damp, or “just one glass, I swear,” our doors (and stemware) are open.
Non-alcoholic options available — zero proof, full personality.

No judgment. Only choices. 🍇✨

🍷 Wine Days in January

10 January — Champagne and French Fries Day
A playful celebration that proves great wine pairings don’t have to be fancy. Champagne’s bright acidity and bubbles perfectly complement the salty, crispy indulgence of French fries, making this quirky wine-and-food holiday a favorite among sommeliers and casual sippers alike. It’s a reminder that some of the best pairings come from contrast, simplicity, and a sense of fun.

27 January — International Port Wine Day
International Port Wine Day honors Portugal’s Douro Valley and the centuries-old tradition of fortified wine. From vibrant Ruby and nutty Tawny to age-worthy Vintage Port, this iconic style is known for depth, richness, and complexity. The day is often celebrated with tasting flights, dessert pairings, and a closer look at how terroir, time, and craftsmanship shape one of the world’s most enduring wine styles. ✨
