National Strawberry Rhubarb Wine Day

The third Saturday in July is an excellent day to commemorate the smooth and fruity taste found in a glass of delicious, chilled, Strawberry Rhubarb Wine. Strawberry Rhubarb Wine is a type of fruit wine that is made from strawberries and rhubarb. The wine is typically light to medium-bodied, with a bright, fruity flavor that is both sweet and tart. To make Strawberry Rhubarb Wine, the fruit is first mashed and then mixed with sugar and water to create a mixture called a "must." Yeast is then added to the must, which ferments over several weeks, converting the sugar into alcohol. The wine is then racked, or siphoned, off the sediment and aged in barrels or bottles for several months to a year or more. The resulting wine is typically pink or light red in color, with a fruity aroma and a flavor that is reminiscent of fresh strawberries and tart rhubarb. It is often enjoyed chilled and pairs well with a variety of foods, including light salads, grilled chicken, and seafood dishes. Strawberry Rhubarb Wine is a relatively uncommon type of wine, and is typically produced in small batches by artisanal winemakers. It is a unique and flavorful alternative to traditional grape-based wines, and is a great choice for those looking to explore the world of fruit wines.
