Culture

WiM DAY

The Wine in Moderation Day was established for the first time in 2023. With this day we aim to educate and empower consumers to enjoy wine responsibly and in moderation and by sharing the culture of wine.

To mark this special day, we invite our members and partners around the world to organise a specific day fully dedicated to talking and elaborating on the importance of moderation in our every day lives.

The Wine in Moderation Day is organised around the global campaign:

The greatest wine? The one that you’ll remember.

Wine culture means above all knowing how to say no to excess, knowing how to make every occasion memorable, how to enhance the very value of the experience and of the wine you're drinking. Keep it a moment to remember.

In fact, we believe that it is not so much about having a favourite wine, but rather about cherishing the ones you'll remember. Wines are incredibly diverse, influenced by various factors like food pairings, time of day, location, the glass used, the company, and so much more. Wine isn't just a product; it's an experience. Our approach to the favourite wine question will always be focused on the one that leaves a lasting imprint on the consumer’s memory. So, instead of having a favourite wine, we encourage to have favourite moments, where the wine becomes an unforgettable part of the experience.
