July 7, 2022 – This Day in Wine History is launching the first online magazine for wine and history lovers alike. The new website offers curated articles, product reviews, and fascinating intersections between wine and its strange history. The platform will be the first of its kind to feature articles written on specific calendar dates that expound on historical events, people, and places that hold special connections to wine and wine history. Each article’s blend of wine, history, and culture will contribute to forming new community of wine enthusiasts.
Founder of the magazine Ken Wytsma stated that “wine has a rich history that we want to share with as many people as possible. Drinking wine is like consuming history. They say you can talk about any civilization with reference to wine, grain, or goats.” In addition to these historical wine-themed articles, This Day in Wine History will also offer its community of readers exclusive access to subscription-based wine services along with online merchandise, wine referral programs, educational courses, and wine-themed history books such as This Day in Colonial Wine History and This Day in French Wine History.
Wytsma is passionate about educating people on wine culture and history. The publication covers wine history, with articles broken down into days to easily find information on what happened on a specific day in history. The articles are well researched and there is an in-depth section covering longer essays for a deeper dive into wine history and its turning points.
Wine lovers can explore the origins of various grape varieties to how wine is made today. The content includes wine varieties and regions, country profiles, and food, and wine. The website also includes profiles of different countries, with information on their wine culture and history. Readers can learn about food and wine pairings, as well as tips on how to taste wine like a pro.
Award-winning author and theologian Ken Wytsma brings years of experience studying history, theology, and wine to the This Day in Wine History project to tactfully explore the intersections of wine and history. A decades-long blogger and international traveler, Ken has extensive knowledge and creative potential to share on the endeavor.
