Tokaj winemakers have caught up with dry wine production

Tokaj’s hidden gem

Wojciech Bońkowski, 28.02.2023

Sweet Tokaji might be the “king of wines, wine of kings”, but there is now an at least princely wine in this Hungarian region: dry Tokaji.

Sweet Aszú had its heyday in the eighteenth century, when it was imbibed at royal courts throughout Europe, notably for its medicinal properties. Then politics interfered and a long period of decline started, culminating in forced collectivisation and industrialisation during communist Hungary (1949–1989).
