“German Food” & “German Wine”

Sunday, October 23 rd
See the Menu

As there were 7 million
folks attending the ‘World’s Largest Fest’
last year,
also consumed were 90,000 liters of Wine !
Germany produces wines in many styles:
semi-sweet, sweet white wines,
rose wines, red wines and sparkling wines and due to the northerly
location
of German vineyards, the country has produced wines quite unlike any
others in Europe, many of outstanding quality !
The white wines and some of the
finest from the Riesling grape with many
being sweet and low in alcohol, light in color and ‘unoaked’
Dark red wine has always been difficult to produce in the German
climate,
but recently there has been an increased demand for darker, richer
red wines – example: Spatburgunder = German Pinot Noir.
Most places celebrate October Fest with
German Beer & Food!
We do it a
little differently with “German Wine” & German Food.
German Wine is primarily produced in the West of Germany, along the
river Rhine and it’s tributaries with some of the oldest plantations
going back to the Roman era.
The total wine production is usually around “1.2 billion bottles”
which places Germany as the 8th
largest wine producing country
in the World and White Wine accounts for almost 2/3 of the
total production. Red
Wine production surged in the 1990s and early 2000s primarily
fuelled by domestic demand and the proportion of German vineyards
devoted to the
cultivation of ‘dark-skinned’ grape varieties has stabilized at more
than
a third of the total production !
