National Orange Wine Day is observed worldwide every October 6 to celebrate orange wine, a lesser-known type of wine with a rich history. This wine is produced from white grape varieties through a process that involves long skin contact, resulting in a darker color and higher tannins compared to traditional white wines. The origins of orange wine date back thousands of years to ancient Georgia, where grapes were fermented in large earthenware vessels called kvevris. The modern term "orange wine" was coined in the early 2000s by wine importer David Harvey, marking a resurgence in its popularity. Celebrations typically include purchasing and sharing a bottle of orange wine, attending tastings, and promoting the holiday on social media with the hashtag #NationalOrangeWineDay. The day was created in 2018 by Amanda Claire Goodwin, the owner of the blog The Real Housewine.
