February has become the month of Furmint in Hungary and is slowly treaching out across the world since  1st February 2017 brought us the first International Furmint Day. It was created by Dániel Kézdy, founder of Furmint February and writer of the beautiful book Tokaj and its People and Vineyards. He says, “I would like to draw winelovers’ attention to this special, very exciting and lovable wine. We wish to achieve this primarily with the use of social media. We would like to awaken interest in as many curious people as possible so they taste this wine and tell of their experiences. Just imagine if everyone who can would open a bottle of Furmint and then show what they had drunk with the help of the worldwide web.”

And in 2019 Furmint February went international with events in London too starting on 30th January with a big Furmint tasting of 60 wines from 20 producers at 67 Pall Mall. Exciting stuff!
