Eating and Drinking in Germany

German Wines

Whether you opt for Trollinger, Riesling or Müller-Thurgau: Wines from Germany are very popular. The German Wine Institute (DWI) promotes the quality and the sale of these excellent wines. As a common organization for the German wine industry, the DWI advises winemakers, organizes tradeshows and publishes information material. The institute’s main offices are located in Mainz; branch offices abroad support the wine export trade.

Gault Millau

To be awarded the top ranking of 20 points by the Gault Millau testing team - that must be the dream of every restaurant and hotel owner on the top end of the hospitality industry. But to date the top ranking has never been awarded - the best evaluation ever awarded has been 19 of 20 points.
