Open That Bottle Night is observed worldwide every last Saturday of February. This holiday encourages individuals to enjoy wine and share it with loved ones, particularly by opening a bottle that holds special meaning. It was created in 2000 by American journalists and wine critics Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, who previously wrote a wine column for The Wall Street Journal. Participants are urged to share the story behind their chosen bottle, which may be significant due to its origin, a memorable occasion, or a gift from a special person. Celebrations can take place individually, with a partner, or at gatherings where friends bring their own meaningful bottles to share. If no special bottles are available, individuals can purchase wine that evokes good memories or participate in wine-related activities. The holiday emphasizes that good wine is meant to be consumed and shared, fostering the creation of new memories with those we cherish.
