What on Earth is Orange Wine? First, let’s get one thing out of the way:
Orange wine contains no oranges.
You probably haven’t heard much about it, because it’s a wine that’s tricky to make, and it’s just beginning to make a comeback after thousands of years of obscurity. In fact, it’s a way to taste the wine of the past…
…but, you won’t easily find it on the shelves of your favorite wine store, at least not yet. It’s a specialty wine being made by natural winemakers, but as more people try it, we expect to see it grow in popularity.

Ready to give it a try? This would be a great wine to get the conversation going at your next dinner party!

Sounds like the makings of an adventurous evening!
