🥂 Moscato Day: A Toast to Sweet Sips & Sweet Moments
Every year on May 9th, wine lovers everywhere raise a glass to celebrate National Moscato Day—a day dedicated to the light, sweet, and undeniably charming wine that has captured the hearts (and palates) of many. Whether you're a seasoned sipper or a curious first-timer, Moscato offers a refreshing, fruity escape that’s perfect for warm days, brunches, girls’ nights, or just treating yourself because you deserve it.
What is Moscato?
Moscato (pronounced mo-SKA-toe) is made from the Muscat grape, one of the oldest grape varieties in the world. It's known for its sweet, floral aroma, low alcohol content, and lively fruit flavors like peach, apricot, orange blossom, and honeysuckle.
You’ll often find Moscato in a frizzante (slightly sparkling) style, but it also comes in still, rosé, and dessert wine versions—each one offering its own unique vibe.
Why We Love It
Let’s be real: Moscato is that effortlessly likable friend who never tries too hard but always brings the good energy. Here’s why we’re obsessed:
Low alcohol = easy sipping. Great for daytime drinking or for those who prefer a gentler glass.
Sweet and fruity. Perfect for anyone who loves flavor without the dryness.
Pairs beautifully with food. Especially spicy dishes, fruit tarts, cheeses, and brunch favorites.
Budget-friendly. You can find a good bottle without breaking the bank!

How to Celebrate Moscato Day
Whether you’re a solo sipper, entertaining guests, or gathering virtually with your wine tribe, here are a few ways to make the most of Moscato Day:
🧀 Pair It Up
Moscato loves a good cheese board. Think brie, blue cheese, or even spicy cured meats to play off the sweetness.
🍑 Get Fruity
Add fresh berries, peaches, or mango to your glass for a fun and fruity twist.
🍸 Mix It Up
Use Moscato as the base for a refreshing wine cocktail—like a Moscato Mojito or a Peach Moscato Sangria.

Chrissy’s Sip Tip 💁🏽♀️
Chill your Moscato for about 30-45 minutes before serving. Too cold and you mute the flavors; too warm and it loses that refreshing sparkle. Aim for just right—like your vibe all day, every day.
Here’s to the wine that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still shows up sweet, classy, and delicious. Happy Moscato Day, my loves! May your glass be full and your moments even sweeter.
Cheers, CAD Chrissy After Dark 🍷
