Today is National Wine Day! Yes, there is actually a designated day to drinking wine and it's today, not Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday ... every week.
To commemorate the day, Detroit's own Sanders created new Milk and Dark Chocolate for Wine Paring packages. Each package includes pure chocolate squares, mini sea salt caramels and classic honeycomb chips in either milk or dark chocolate.
“Both chocolate and wine can offer rather intense flavors so it can be fun and delicious to pair the two,” said Brian Jefferson CEO of Sanders and Morley Candy Makers. “For these packages, we handpicked chocolates that would offer the best tasting experience when enjoyed with a variety of wines.”
The United States drank the most wine in the world in 2015, according to International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV). Figures for 2016 have not yet been released.
The new Milk and Dark Chocolates for Wine Pairing can be purchased from Sanders for $7.99 each. The packages will be available at additional retail outlets in Spring 2017.
