Thanks to Hungary’s natural gifts the winemakers in the country are able to produce domestic and international wine varieties on a very high level.
Other interesting fact is that Hungary could also claim the world’s first ever vineyard classification in Tokaj (1730). The 16th century saw came to existence the full-bodied red Bikavér (Bull’s Blood) and the sweet dessert wine Tokaji Aszú which are the most famous Hungarian wine varieties.
