German wines - what is worth knowing about them?
Germany, our closest neighbour, is mainly associated with beer. Few people know that the country also produces quality wine. Worms, Spira and Koblenz are famous for their wine cult and wine-drinking culture. At the moment, Germany is the fourth largest wine producer in Europe.
Due to the rather cool climate, mainly white wines are produced here, although the predominance of white wines over red wines is decreasing significantly. This is mainly due to climate change and warming.
German wines have two main characteristics. The first is varietality. Each label bears the name of the variety from which it was produced. This makes purchasing much easier. The second characteristic is a specific quality classification system. It is based on the sugar content of the grape must. The sweeter it is, the better and more expensive wines can be made from it.
As for the history of German winemaking itself, it is very long. The first vines were planted by the ancient Romans, more than two thousand years ago. Later, medieval German monks took care of the grape varieties.
Classification of German wines
The lowest quality are table wines, which are not tested by laboratory and organoleptic tests. They account for about four per cent of the total production. The remaining German wines are already qualitative. Each of them undergoes laboratory tests and they are also tasted by a selection committee, which assigns them a special A.P.Nr.
German wines are also classified in terms of their residual sugar level. Information can be found on the label. A distinction is made between dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet and sweet wines. Dry wines can be divided into classic and selected wines.
