1 February 2026 – International Furmint Day✨
Annually on February 1
International Furmint Day celebrates Hungary’s flagship white grape, prized for its crisp acidity, orchard-fruit character, and mineral precision. Native to Tokaj, Furmint anchors both iconic Tokaji Aszú and an exciting range of dry wines. The day invites wine lovers to explore its versatility across regions like Tokaj and Somló, and to appreciate its elegance, balance, and aging potential—especially alongside poultry, seafood, or Asian cuisine.
🍇16 February 2026 – International Syrah Day
Annually on February 16
International Syrah Day honors one of the world’s most expressive red grapes. From the peppery finesse of Northern Rhône to the bold richness of Australian Shiraz, Syrah showcases remarkable range. Known for flavors of blackberry, spice, and savory herbs, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats and lamb, inviting comparisons across climates and regions that highlight its depth, complexity, and craftsmanship.
18 February 2026 – World Drink Wine Day🍷
Annually on February 18
World Drink Wine Day is a global celebration of wine’s culture, history, and power to connect people. It encourages opening a favorite bottle, discovering something new, or revisiting a classic. More than a drink, wine is a shared experience—best enjoyed with good company, meaningful conversation, and an appreciation for the moment.
28 February 2026 – Open That Bottle Night ✨
