German Wine Institute honours 50 estate wine bars
“With these award-winning bars, we want to show wine-loving consumers where they can taste wine in a stylish atmosphere and with a high quality of service directly at the producer´s, and thus to create additional incentives to visit Germany´s wine regions”, explained DWI managing director Monika Reule at the award ceremony in Ingelheim. Besides an appealing architecture and interior design, the judges therefore also evaluated aspects such as regular opening times, seating arrangements, product presentation, further information on the region, vineyard tours etc. Other criteria included the professional competence and foreign language skills of the employees.
From an architectural point of view, the 50 award-winning wine bars represent the wide spectrum of modern Wine Country Germany, ranging from stylishly renovated buildings – in part heritage-listed -, to spectacular new constructions with impressive views of the vineyards. “The wine trade has invested a great deal in attractive architecture in the past few years,” Reule pointed out. “This will become increasingly important in order to succeed in our highly-competitive wine market.”
All 50 wine bars were presented in a 114-page special issue of the travel magazine, “Abenteuer und Reisen” under the heading “”Wines of Germany”, which was available at newsagent´s across the country. The publication also includes short portraits of all the wine regions and of young, wild winemakers, as well as a brief explanation of the typical aromas and flavours of Germany´s most important grape varieties.
The DWI features its award-winners online under germanwines.de/tourism/outstanding-vinotheks. The estates can also be found on the interactive map on the home page of the DWI website.
