Doesn’t sound much different from the archaic alcohol laws we still have in Finland!
It would’ve been fun to check out some of those heurigen, but we were on a rather tight schedule, so maybe next time!

Heurigen are great, and the largest concentration is in the Grinzing area in the northeast of Vienna. Fall/harvest time would be the best time to check them out.

Hooray - another Otto travelogue! Plenty of fun reading in store. I really take a lot of vicarious pleasure reading them, because they’re well-written, if somewhat…er…long…(!) especially since they are always about places I haven’t been to, not in a wine context at least. I look forward to the next episode!

I’ve got a reputation to uphold.
True - this is also how we know it’s you and not a random bot imitating your style!
Actually, I should congratulate you - you’re writing this less than a month after your trip! That must be a new record.

Nah, I’ve always prioritized these travelogues; I start writing them as soon as I get back home, while working my backlog of older tastings at the same time.
The travelogue to France last year came a bit later only because I had a three-week vacation in Japan right after our small tour de France!

Looks like some serious hardware on those horizontal tanks! What are the large white couplers coming out? Only thing I can imagine is that the tanks are somehow pressurized?
