According to the National Day Calendar site today is:
National Rosé Day! (one of my fav wines)
On the second Saturday in June each year recognizes a wine that complements many dishes. Rosé is probably the oldest known type of wine, dating back as far as 600 BC. Rosé wines are generally made from red grapes and are very versatile wines. A rosé wine will also be lighter in color than red wine, deeper in color than white wine. The pink color of rosé wine depends on the time the grape skin stays in contact with the juice, also known as maceration. There are also rosé wines that are semi-sparkling or sparkling, with different intensities of sweetness levels and dryness.
NATIONAL ROSÉ DAY HISTORY
In 2014, Bodvár – House of Rosés – a rosé house specializing in rosé wines, founded National Rosé Day to share their love of the rosé and give rosé lovers a day to unite together and celebrate.
The Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed the day to be observed on the second Saturday in June, annually. The first celebration took place on June 14, 2014.
