Hungary has a long tradition as a wine producing country.
Winemaking has evolved over many centuries. Today, the most famous Hungarian
wines come from Tokaj, the luscious, sweet, white Tokaji made from botrytised
grapes. But red and white wine is made all over the country, for example in Eger
and Villany.

re-macerate with new wine what remains in the press after pressing the
aszu must |
