Before candy and costumes, Halloween was tied to older traditions like Samhain and medieval souling. 🎃
During souling in medieval England, people offered prayers for the departed in exchange for small treats called soul cakes. In some regions, households also set out a glass of wine or ale as an offering for wandering spirits. 🍷👻
These rituals blended harvest celebrations with remembrance of the dead—reminding us that wine has long been part of life’s mysterious, magical, and seasonal moments. 🥂
Engaging question:
If you hosted a soul-cake feast today, which wine would you set out as your offering? 👀🍇
