Bulgaria marks on February 1 the professional holiday of vine-growers and wine-makers, which has been officially celebrated in the country since 1962.
The festival brings a cunning smile to the faces of many Bulgarians as it is usually honored with a lot of toasts. Those, who love wine in Bulgaria regard St. Trifon's Day as a very special occasion to celebrate life.
When the Gregorian Calendar was officially introduced by the Bulgarian Orthodox Church in 1968, the church services moved to February 1, but the Day of Vine and Wine is still being marked on February 14.
According to old traditions, the culmination is the moment of choosing the "king of the vines" - usually a diligent vine-grower, who is thus said to sweep all good luck.
