GERMANY

While beer is Germany 's national drink, wine is also an integral part of this nation's culture. The most cultivated white grape varieties are primarily Riesling , followed by Silvaner and Müller Thurgau.

Germany is a land of white wines, it is true, but in the last thirty years the development of Pinot Noir has been extraordinary. The Ahr, in particular, is the most suitable region of Germany for the production of this elegant and deep red wine .
