24 September is South Africa's Heritage day, aka Braai Day, and wine.co.za invites you to celebrate with us by opening some wonderful South African wines and sharing them, wherever you are.
There is a beautiful word we use in South Africa, kuier (pronounced ''cay-er").
The quick translation is to stay, but it goes a lot further than that. It’s sharing a bottle of wine with friends snuggled around a fire in winter; it’s opening a crisp Chenin Blanc on the rocks with a few fresh crayfish after a dive with your buddies; it’s a full-bodied Shiraz around a braai with your family on a warm summers night.
It’s warmth, it’s hospitality, it’s friends. It’s good wine, good food, and good company.
As South Africans we love to invite visitors into our homes. It is what we do. We throw some meat on the braai (barbeque), toss some salads into a bowl, and then we sit around chatting for as long as possible. We kuier.
We are asking every South African around the world to to join us on our Heritage Day and open up a bottle of South African wine, share some of our sunshine, and come kuier with us.
wine.co.za is encouraging every South African winery, South African embassy, South African business, and every South African around the globe to show the world just how lekker our wine is.
It is really simple, just open up a bottle, share it with your friends, and post pics of your day on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook tagging #tastesunshine.
