German Wine
Mainly grown in south west Germany, German vines, as with most
of Europe, have their roots firmly embedded in the Roman occupation
period. Germany's wine making is internationally regarded as
a mixed bag. Germany is a source of very cheap wine and also
offers, what some regard, the most aromatically exciting wines.
Liebfraumilch is internationally famous for being cheap and
acceptable and it is certainly produced on a massive scale.
Germany is generally known best for it's sweet fruity flavours,
with the Riesling grape being the choice of most German vineyards.
Due to the Riesling grape being the most popular, Germany is
best known for white, crisp and aromatic wines, although red
wine production has increased in the 1990s and now into the
21st century.
