International Furmint Day is celebrated worldwide every February 1 to honor the Furmint grape variety, which is integral to the production of Tokaji wines from Hungary. This white grape, believed to have originated in the Tokaj wine region, can also be found in countries like Austria, Croatia, Slovenia, and Ukraine. The day was established by Dániel Kézdy, a Hungarian wine expert, and has been observed annually since 2017, coinciding with a broader celebration of Furmint throughout the month of February. Events on this day include wine tastings, vineyard tours, and food pairing classes, aimed at promoting Furmint among wine enthusiasts and professionals. Furmint wines are known for their high acidity and complex flavors, ranging from dry varietals to dessert wines characterized by notes of apricots and spices. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using specific hashtags related to the event.
