National Orange Wine Day is a holiday observed annually on October 6th. The purpose of this holiday is to celebrate orange wine—a wine that surprisingly doesn’t have any oranges in it at all. This type of wine is actually a type of white wine that’s made with the grape skins and seeds left in contact with the juice.

The result is a wine that has a deep orange hue to it and has a taste that’s completely different from other types of white wine. It’s also a wine that most people don’t know about even though it was first made over 6,000-years ago.

They celebrated it at Ruffian in New York City—an establishment that had one of the largest selections of orange wines. It’s since been enjoyed all across the U.S by people who are fans of this type of wine.
