Sixteen hours of daylight in London, fifteen in New York, more than seventeen in Stockholm. The sun rises before five and sets close to ten. The light has a quality that does not exist for the rest of the year: warm, generous, slightly unbelievable. It deserves a bottle that meets it.</p> <p>This guide is built around the rhythm of a solstice day. Wine for the slow start, wine for the long afternoon, wine for the meal that runs past sunset, and wine for the late hours when the sky still glows. Ten bottles across the major styles, with practical service notes for outdoor drinking and a suggested order for a day that should be paced for hours, not minutes.</p>
