National Strawberry Rhubarb Wine Day

National Strawberry Rhubarb Wine Day celebrates the sweet-tart flavor of wine made by fermenting strawberries and rhubarb. It is observed on the third Saturday in July, a date associated with Maple River Winery in North Dakota since 2013.

The holiday’s designation was requested by the winery, according to a 2015 report from Food & Wine. The same report notes that proclamations for food holidays such as this one do not carry official governmental power. Strawberry rhubarb wine combines the sweetness of strawberries with rhubarb’s tangy flavor, and it is commonly enjoyed chilled. Rhubarb stalks are edible, while its large green leaves are poisonous.

How to Observe National Strawberry Rhubarb Wine Day

Celebrate by enjoying a chilled glass of strawberry rhubarb wine, whether purchased or homemade. Pair it with strawberry-rhubarb pie, or gather friends and family for a toast to this unusual fruit-and-wine combination. If you work with fresh rhubarb, use only the edible stalks and discard the leaves.
