Wine is one of the world’s most popular alcoholic beverages. On Open That Bottle Night, people around the world liberate their bottles from their home prisons, aka shelves and cabinets. It does not have to be old bottles of wine; that bottle of wine you purchased in the morning and saved for the evening is also perfectly acceptable!
Open That Bottle Night was created by Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, a husband-and-wife journalist team at ‘The Wall Street Journal’ who write the ‘Tastings’ column. This event was designed to encourage family and friends to reconnect over a bottle of wine and to create lasting memories together.

Enjoy the evening while discussing and reminiscing about long-lost, priceless memories.
Since its inception in 2000, Open That Bottle Night has become a global phenomenon celebrated annually on the last Saturday of February, and its popularity grows each year.
