German wine! No thank you?! So you think Germans only drink beer and can therefore just brew great beer above all? They can do that alright. But the Germans also make wines that are treasured around the world. Take riesling, to start! There are loads of vineyards, especially in southwestern Germany. The Germans love wine, too. When it comes to per capita consumption, they're up there in the top ten. Euromaxx reporter Hannah Hummel explores German vineyards for a new episode of "Germany in a Nutshell." She speaks with vintners about what makes German wines special and the which, where and how of drinking these wines.

For quite a while wine-enthusiasts know that Germany is a treasury for dry Riesling. Don't think Mosel and Rheingau only. I (from Holland) shop mainly in Nahe (my favourite region), Rheinhessen and Pfalz. Even the entry Rieslings deliver a lot of pleasure at reasonable prices. Very gastronomic wines as well. If you are into pinot noir you will be surprised by a lot of spätburgunders, being a affordable alternative to Burgundy wines.

I was in wine festival at Bad Durkheim in 2009. It was a lot of fun but after having 2 liters of that delicious sweet and cheap recently made wine the next morning was a struggle. All worth it though 😊

You were at the Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt and drinking the "new wine". It is not wine yet, but raw grape juice in a state of fermentation, with no or little or a lot of alcohol in it, and it still keeps turning the sugar into alcohol inside your body when you have drunk it. So you may drink it in the evening, go to bed feeling fine and wake up totally drunk after midnight. Two litres of it is definitely too much.

in praise of German wine? pleased to hear it!!!! I drink German wine and am a customer of Pieroth's a centuries old German wine emporium, imported to my homeland NZ I drink Kabinett with chicken and other white meat BUT my taste is for the sweet. the sweeter the better and German wines can meet my needs there. German dessert wines are STUPENDOUS!!

nice to watch... mainly because of the host😎 - but the content... hm. Germany really has many many fantastic, serious wines (and btw German white wines are arguably the best value for money in the world!). You mentioned that, but then you talk about marketing (wine queen) and Schorle and Apfelwein and cheap sweet wines.

Wait... Is Apfelschorle an apple wine or carbonated apple juice?

@hmvollbanane1259 2 ай бұрын

Schorle is anything Mixed with sparkling water. Apfelschorle means indeed a mix of apple juice and sparkling water, however the region around Frankfurt am Main is famous for their apple-wine (~cidre) which when mixed with sparkling water is also called a Schorle (which I think he was referring to. So in the wine region of the Pfalz they use those type of glasses for a wine-schorle, whereas in the rest of the region they use them for cidre-schorle)

Schorle is anything mixed with sparkling water. E.g. Apfelschorle means a mix of apple juice and sparkling water and is the most common/ popular Schorle. What was spoken about in the video was Weinschorle and the in the region around Frankfurt am Main popular apple-wine (~cidre) which when mixed with sparkling water is also called a Schorle (which I think he was talking about. So in the wine region of the Pfalz they use those type of glasses for a wine-schorle, whereas in the rest of the region they use them for cidre-schorle)
