Happy National White Wine Day!
The origins of wine can be traced back as far as 7500 years ago, in what is now known as Iran. Experts are pretty sure that wine was being drunk long before this but there’s no actual evidence for them to point towards at the moment. And who knows how they drank white wine…as an apéritif or with their meals? Did they get FREE SHIPPING back then?
It was the Romans who introduced the concept of drinking cool wine in the summer and room temperature wine in the winter, a practice which many still follow today. Hopefully they had 12-pack shippers to facilitate long journeys.
White wine eventually became popular throughout all of Europe, which led to more vineyards throughout the continent.
The 20th century has seen vines introduced to new places and technological developments that have changed the process of winemaking throughout the world. One thing, though, hasn’t changed, and that’s the people’s love for a glass of white wine. The origins of National White Wine Day are unclear but we do know the best way to celebrate, and that’s with a glass of the good stuff.
