It is a wine day, people. 🌕🍷
And yes, I’m being completely serious.
I use an app tied to the biodynamic calendar — a system farmers have relied on for centuries to decide when to plant, when to harvest, when to prune. The core idea? The moon’s gravitational pull doesn’t just move the tides. It moves water in all living things — soil, plants, and yes, the human body. Which means your taste buds are literally not the same on every day of the month.
The calendar breaks down into four day types:
🍇 Fruit days — best for tasting wine
🌿 Flower days — also pretty good
🌱 Root days — wines taste flat and closed
🍂 Leaf days — hit or miss
I became a believer the hard way. I’d have friends over, open something beautiful — a bottle I knew — and it just wouldn’t sing. Flat. Muted. Off. Then I’d check the app after the fact and sure enough: root day. Every. Single. Time.
Now? I don’t open anything special unless the calendar says go. My best bottles stay in the rack until the moon gives me the green light. 🌙
Call me crazy. My wine disagrees. 😏
