The Story of the Tokay Pinot Gris 🥂🍯
🇭🇺 In the rolling hills of Hungary, we find the legendary Tokaj wine region. Its fame began to ripple across the world during the Middle Ages. And soon, its lusciously sweet wines became the golden standard. Louis XIV famously called it, “the wine of kings and the king of wines”.
😏 Yet, with fame comes controversy. The success of Tokaj wine invited envious glances from across the globe. In a bid to profit from Tokaj's star, several regions started producing dubious versions of the beloved wine.
🏔️ However, the trickiest appropriation came from France's Alsace region. Alsace winemakers renamed their Pinot Gris wines as 'Tokay Pinot Gris.'
🇪🇺 But truth prevails. After years of negotiation, in 2007 the EU prohibited the usage of the 'Tokay' name. Thus, the 'Tokay Pinot Gris' labels became a thing of the past and have since become collectibles.
💰 So, if by chance you have a bottle of this mislabeled rarity, you might want to hold onto it.
