Raise your glasses, wine lovers—it's time to celebrate Open That Bottle Night! On the 24th of February, wine lovers around the globe come together to indulge in a delightful tradition: opening those special bottles they've been saving for just the right moment. So, dust off your corkscrews and get ready to uncork memories.
Open That Bottle Night originated from the minds of Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, two wine journalists at the Wall Street Journal, back in 2000. Their idea was simple;
“Set aside one night each year to finally enjoy those cherished bottles we often save for a "someday" that never seems to arrive.” And thus, Open That Bottle Night was born—a celebration of good wine, great company, and the joy of living in the moment.As you prepare to celebrate Open That Bottle Night, Riekie Viljoen, Brand Manager at FAT bastard shares a few tips to ensure a truly memorable experience:
1. Choose wisely: Select a bottle from your collection that holds special meaning or significance. Whether it's a gift from a loved one, a souvenir from a memorable trip or simply a wine that is aged in small oak barrels to add greater weight and complexity like FAT bastard’s The Golden Reserve, let the bottle tell its story as you uncork it.
2. Set the mood: Create a cosy and inviting atmosphere with soft lighting, your favourite music, and perhaps some delicious snacks to pair with your wine.
3. Share the joy: Open That Bottle Night is best enjoyed with friends and loved ones. Invite them to join you in the festivities and raise a glass to the beauty of good company and good wine.
It’s not about delicious wines. It’s about delicious experiences. May your life be filled with them.” - Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher.
