Holiday Wine Countdown Calendar.' Last year, a similar [wine and cheese calendar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-crafty-herd-cheese-advent-calendar) at [Aldi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-hard-seltzer-advent-calendar) sold out nationwide in just minutes and the Kroger version is expected to do the same. Kroger's What Fun! Holiday Wine Countdown Calendar is an advent calendar that contains 24 mini bottles of wine. More specifically, it contains a "festive blend of reds, whites and sparkling wines." The calendar is set to go on sale on November 1st and there will only be 16,000 calendars available. And last-minute holiday shoppers be warned, this boozy calendar will not be restocked once it sells out.
