Celebrating 14 February with Love and Wine

Love and Wine is the title of a song released by Bulgarian pop star Yordanka Hristova in 2023, a few days before 14 February. On this day in Bulgaria we celebrate both love and wine, as 14 February is also the day of St Tryphon - the patron saint of wine, winemakers and vine-growers. 

What is wine if there's no love?
What is love, when wine is missing?
Love and wine are Yin and Yang,
in a circle, gently kissing.

Love and Wine was conceived in three different Bulgarian cities - Sofia, the hometown of Yordanka Hristova; Varna, where the author of the music and lyrics, Valentina Tsenova, lives; and Razgrad, where the song's arranger, Ivaylo Petkov, comes from.
