Must go quick before that guy starts talking again. Welcome to
the Rhine valley. Yes, we are on our cruise on the Rhine river
famous for its beautiful castles that you can see behind me,
they literally are everywhere on this river and its grapes, the
riesling grapes, native to this region.
So now, welcome to our wine tasting here in our wine cellar
from the 17 century. We have here more than 90 % of grapes
for the white wines. Because grapes for the red wines need
normally a more constant climate, so you find more red wines in
in the souther part, here in this region more white wines. And by
the wines we have here nearly 75% riesling grapes. The riesling
grape is the most popular grape in the Rhine valley because
this grape is for this climate, for this region. Some other grapes
the Savatiano grapes, Ortega grapes, Albalonga grapes. Mostly
white wines.
We have been making beer steins for more than 600 years and
we still have around 5 German companies left. They make
beer steins. Now on the left hand side those 5 shelves all the
way down and also back there in the corner we have very fine
collective beer steins and they are all limited edition, now limited
editions means if you pick anyone of those steins and look
underneath you will find an imprint. This will tell you how many
they make of each. Each stein is numbered, who the
manufacturer is and where the stein was made. Most of those
who collect the stein know more stories behind them, and they
will tell you the story on little certificate more about their history.
