National Strawberry Rhubarb Wine Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in July, and this year, it falls on July 16. This day celebrates the smooth and fruity taste you will find in a glass full of some delicious, chilled Strawberry Rhubarb Wine. This wine is made from a combination of delectable strawberries and tart rhubarb. The strawberry rhubarb plant is often used to make pies. The varieties of this plant are noted by the types of fruit they produce. The pie plant varieties will not grow true from seed, and they must be propagated by division or cuttings. If a seedling is planted, it will not produce fruit like its parent. It is a fact that this hybrid grows best in cold climates and wet soils. The rhubarb’s large green leaves are poisonous, but the leaf stalks are tasty in sweets or used as a vegetable in savory food dishes.
