What the German Diplomats Should Pour: 27 Recommended Wines by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Sparkling, Still and Non-alcoholic (2024)

The German State Department recently drew up a new list of German wines that the 225 diplomatic missions should serve on official occasions. 

The list was prepared by a jury of high-ranking employees of the Federal Foreign Office. After an invitation to tender, 420 wines were pre-selected and 59 made it into the final. After a blind tasting, 27 made it onto the order list for embassies and consulates.

This year's range of wines includes 4 sparkling wines, 15 white wines, 4 red wines and 2 rosés, as well as 2 non-alcoholic varieties for the first time. They come from ten different German wine-growing regions and reflect the diversity of flavours in Germany very well.
