![]() Top-quality wine is now being made all over Germany, not just in the Mosel and Rheingau. But perhaps the most significant change, related to global warming, is geographical. Today grapes reach full ripeness, and lov-Įrs of German wine can now choose from delicious wines of all levels of sweetness and dryness, all shades of color, and some serious fizz too. The weather has cooperated too, with German wine being one of the few and most obvious beneficiaries of climate change. The great thing now is that Germany is home to so many ambitious, quality-driven vine growers and winemakers-many, although not all of them, notably youthful, so with a long life of great achievement ahead of them. In the bad old days when fine, passionately grown, handcrafted wine represented a much smaller proportion of each German vintage, it was quite difficult to convince others of how beautiful German wine could be.
