Franken Wein (Franconian Wine)
弗兰肯葡萄酒
Franken - Franconia
Franken (Franconia) is an area in Germany.
It's located on the north-western part of Bavaria, along the river Main.
Franken Wein - Franconian Wine
Wine is traditionally grown along the south pointing slopes of the river Main.
Franconian Wine is a natural product following the highest Quality Standards.
The Wine Standards were defined in 1582 by St. Benedict monks under the
rule of Emperor Karl the Great.
Those finally resulted in the German Purity Law - Reinheitsgebot.
Bocksbeutel - a special bottle
The traditional bottle for Franconian Wine is the Bocksbeutel.
There are many stories claiming the reason for the special shape
- some of them of practical nature some of them of a more robust nature.
We simply like the outstanding and traditional design
with it's shape that somehow reminds on a sitting Buddha.
... and by the way, Bocksbeutel do not roll around in your cellar.
For all non German speakers, the pronunciation hint on the left may be helpful.
