Austria

Austrian wines can be intimidating to say out loud. But they’re delicious to drink! They're produced in state-of-the-art wineries guided by Old World traditions. As far back as 700 B.C. the ancient Celts made wine for rituals and for daily consumption, a tradition continued by the conquering Romans and later revitalized by Charlemagne after years of neglect. Austrian viticulture was also influenced by Cistercian monks from Burgundy, who came to Austria in the Middle Ages, bringing grapes and their winemaking skills. So.. Long history here and here’s a chance to try some fun zippy wines from eastern Austria!
