December 31st - This Date in Wine History


HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM QORKZ!


Wine has a long established history of being our drink of choice for celebrating, entertaining, and savoring life; but it didn't start out that way. From the invention of the barrel to the designation of the separate viticultural areas, wine has a long and sorted history.  In our daily feature This Date In Wine History, we share an event of critical importance in wine history.


  • Saumur AOC was created in 1957.
