Fun Fact Friday 🍷✨ – Pumpkins & Wine

Long before pumpkin spice lattes and pies, early American colonists experimented with fermenting pumpkins into a primitive pumpkin wine. 🎃🍷

These early pumpkin wines were part of seasonal celebrations, capturing the flavors of the harvest and showing how resourceful settlers could be with what they had on hand. Today, pumpkin wines and ales inspire modern craft beverages just in time for Halloween and fall festivities. 🥂

Would you try pumpkin wine at a Halloween party? 🎃🍷
