Name me one German wine region.... Mosel..you answer... Ok..another...Rheingau, Pfalz, Baden, Franken..maybe Ahr.....now you are struggling..(unless you are a complete wine freak). Mittelrhein would not be in there. ..If it is..name me one grower......see what I mean. The wines were never that great...bottled only for the masses or used for that 'sekt' stuff. The renaissance was started by Peter Jost...

The other night I opened a bottle of 2001 J.L. Wolf Riesling Wachenheimer , a dry German wine from this Loosen-owned property in the Pfalz region. You should be happy I'm not like some Boston-based wine writers who can't resist puns . Don't blame me for his affliction . It's not my Pfalz! Sigh.

The few good ones cost upwards of £8. This [...]

I have no German wine in the house, and as I'm told Schumacher has a skeleton or two in his cupboard (and it's mean to keep your mother and her prescribing pad in a cupboard), I'm not motivated to go out and get any. France...

If you think of German wine as cheap, sweet and basic, you're in excellent company. When the go-ahead German wine company Zimmermann-Graeff & Müller commissioned market researchers to find out what UK consumers thought of German wine, "cheap, sweet and basic" came the response. Ten years ago, it looked as if Germany was starting to turn a corner. With unlovely lieb at an average price of £2.75 per...
