HungaryWinemaking has been part of Hungarian culture for centuries, but one wine is responsible for putting Hungarian wines on the map: Tokaji, or Tokay. A sweet botrytised wine made from the Furmint grape, Tokaji was the impetus for a royal decree creating the first appellation control, established in 1730. The historic Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region was divided between Hungary and Czechoslovakia in 1920, and disputes over use of the name Tokaji have ensued ever since. |
