Promotions and Demotions in the Gault Millau Deutschland WeinGuide 2015

Pictures: Winemaker of the Year, Gault Millau WeinGuide Deutschland 2015, Thomas Haag, Weingut Schloss Lieser, with Joel B. Payne, Father Wilhelm Haag, also Winemaker of the Year (some 20 Years ago) and Christian G.E. Schiller. Thomas Haag, Weingut Schloss Lieser, was Promoted to 5 Grapes.

The Gault Milla Deutschland WeinGuide is arguably the leading German wine guide. I already posted a number of articles about the Gault Millau Deutschland WeinGuide 2015:

Germany’s Best Winemakers and Wines – Gault Millau WeinGuide Deutschland 2015 Awards Ceremony in Mainz, Germany

This posting is a listing of the wine producers that were promoted and demoted in the Gault Millau Deutschland WeinGuide 2015, grouped by regions. Note that those winemakers who were demoted to zero grapes and are thus not listed in the Gault Millau Deutschland WeinGuide anymore are also not included in the listing below.
