Hello Wine!
There are few different wine anniversaries on October 20th annually. Moreover, the 20th of every month is "Wine Day". The Japan Sommelier Association established the anniversary. The reason; the 20th in French is vingt which contains the word "vin" which is the French word for wine. I think for some people, every day of the week is "Wine Day"!
One of the wine anniversaries is "Hello Wine Day". And that is a pun on the 20th being "wine" and October being Halloween, which Belluna, a company in Ageo City (Saitama), who registered the anniversary says sounds like Hello Wine! So they decided to make October 20th "Hello Wine Day"!
Another wine related anniversary on October 20th annually is Shinshu Wine Bread Day. Shinshu wine bread is made from grapes and wheat from Nagano prefecture. The anniversary was established by Shinshu Wine Bread study group, who claims Shinshu Wine Bread goes well with wine! Have you tried Shinshu Wine Bread before? And will you be having a glass of wine on this Wine Day, Hello Wine Day and Shinshu Wine Bread day!?
Former nickname was "Saitama". Changed it to save confusion on place review posts! Irish, 20+ years in Japan! I also write on my personal website: insaitama.com
