Ever wondered why your wine sometimes tastes different than expected? Some experts point to the Moon—or more precisely, the lunar calendar. This ancient system divides days into four categories: "fruit days," "flower days," "leaf days," and "root days," aligned with lunar phases rather than traditional months.
Wine reportedly shines brightest on "fruit days," especially when the Moon transits constellations like Aquarius, Gemini, or Libra. While it may sound mystical, this biodynamic approach is trusted by seasoned winegrowers worldwide.
Prominent retailers like Marks & Spencer in the UK take it seriously, scheduling tastings exclusively on fruit days. Renowned wine authority Jamie Goode acknowledges variations in taste by day but attributes them to atmospheric pressure rather than lunar influence. Curious? The "When Wine Tastes Best" app helps pinpoint ideal opening days based on this calendar.
Ideal knowledge for your next gathering with friends!
