The Eichelmann WeinGuide Deutschland 2024 - one of the 5 main wine guides in Germany (along with Vinum, Gault&Millau, Feinschmecker and Falstaff) - was released in November 2023 in Heidelberg.

In the Eichelmann WeinGuide Deutschland 2024, Gerhard Eichelmann presents almost 1000 winemakers and reviews more than 11000 wines. For the rating of the winemakers, he employs a system that awards a winery up to five stars, where 5 stars indicate “world class, top international producers”. There are about 2 dozens of German winemakers in this group.

Additionally, in each issue of the Eichelmann WeinGuide Deutschland a (1) Rising Star and a (2) Discovery of the Year as well as the producers of the best collections of (3) red wines, (4) white wines, and (5) sparkling wines are named. Further, Gerhard Eichelmann presents (6) a “Classic of the Year” Wine and (7) an Honorary Award for Lifetime Achievement.
