International Albariño Day, celebrated annually on August 1, was born out of a contest between two men — Bernardo Quintanilla and Ernesto Zàrate — to determine the best wine of 1952. The following year pioneered the Albariño Day celebration. The albariño grape is grown in several countries, but Spain is the largest producer. Albariño grape has a distinctive botanical aroma and is used to produce white wine varietals.
