Wine and more

Winegrowers not only offer wine. In well-stocked salesrooms or outstanding vinotheks, there is an attractive range of additional products available. Grapes are multi-talented. There is hardly a fruit that is marketed in so many variations - whether liquid, as wine, sparkling wine and juice, or solid, as a table grape, raisin and sultana - the use of red and white grape varieties are virtually unlimited. No wonder then that many winemakers offer grapes in many refined versions and mixed drinks.
