Austrian new wine "Heurige"
"Heuriger," an Austrian new wine, is becoming known in Japan.
The opening date is November 11th every year.
"Heuriger" means "this year's" and refers to young wine that is less than one year old.
Izakayas that serve new wine locally are also called "Heurige".
Austria is famous for its white wine and produces a lot of it.
Heuriger is slightly effervescent, fresh and fruity to drink.
It is common to drink from a 250ml mug rather than a wine glass, and it can be enjoyed however you like, with the wine being mixed with soda.
In izakayas that serve Heuriger, pine branches are hung from the eaves to signal the arrival of new wine.
This is the same custom as the "sugidama" (a ball of rice sugidama) used in Japan to announce the completion of a new batch of sake.
Schrammel music is also a common theme at Heuriger.
Enjoy new wine while listening to violin, accordion, and guitar.
In 2019 , Heurigen culture was also registered as an Austrian UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.
