April in Birmingham brings the heart of spring into full bloom—longer days, warmer evenings, and more reasons to gather with family and friends. It’s the perfect time to refresh your wine rack and explore new flavors that capture the season at your neighborhood Pig.
This month, Piggly Wiggly Birmingham is hosting free in-store wine tastings inspired by the bright, lively energy of April. We’re pouring a thoughtfully selected lineup of wines that pair beautifully with spring favorites—from grilled chicken and fresh seasonal vegetables to lighter pastas and picnic-ready dishes. Expect crisp whites, refreshing rosés, and smooth, easy-drinking reds that complement meals enjoyed indoors or out on the patio.
Whether you’re planning an Easter gathering, hosting a weekend cookout, or simply unwinding after a warm Birmingham day, stop by and sip with us. April is the perfect time to try something new, find a fresh favorite, and celebrate the season with #thepigbham.
Spring Sips to Welcome the Season
April is all about enjoying the outdoors and making the most of seasonal ingredients. As local farmers markets fill with fresh produce and families spend more time outside, wines that are light, balanced, and food-friendly take center stage.
Select Birmingham-area Piggly Wiggly stores are featuring new wine arrivals chosen with spring entertaining in mind. From bright whites that pair beautifully with seafood, salads, and grilled vegetables to versatile reds that complement burgers, barbecue, and casual weeknight dinners, our curated selection makes it easy to find the right bottle for any occasion.
