Spinster Day Hits the U.S. News!

Many thanks to the incomparable Sarah Spain, the foremost authority and voice for sports and women’s sports, specifically. She is and always has been a real one to Head Spinster, Keri Potts. And she gave the new holiday for unattached women a massive platform with her shout out in the last five minutes of her November 11 episode. Give her Good Game podcast a listen and a follow.

Spinster Wine Company Naming Contest

The woman-run Spinster Wine Company has graciously offered us a 2026 bubbly rosé to name in honor of the first annual Spinster Day. Names are being collected and the first voting bracket will be revealed in early November. That’s right, spinsters everywhere can name a wine in our glorious honor. Please send your ideas to sisterspinster@spinsterday.com or look for this post on Instagram and add your contribution in the comments. The winning name will be announced on Spinster Day.

Instagram comments. spinsterwineco: “I have three new wines coming out of this 2026 harvest and one of them doesn’t have a name or label design yet. Oh geez, this is making me want to design the whole thing around this new fabulous holiday (it’s a bubbly so what could be more perfect). And, depending on if the creator of the slogan is okay with it, I can see this slogan going on the label! Gah, I love it when we women put our brains together.” afightbackwoman replies: “listen, if you’re in, this gets own post series and a call to action — submission, rounds of voting and an unveil. So, you let me know, ma’am.” spinsterwineco: “I’m 100% in. This has me so pumped right now. LET’S DO THIS!!”

Spinsters in the Movies

Nothing like the word spinster to bring out the most amazing women. The divine dames at @spinsters.film had this to contribute to the recent post announcing the Spinster Wine Company’s generous offer to have us spinsters name a 2026 harvest wine:
