The wine region of Eger
Eger, in northeastern Hungary, is a wine region best known for its Egri Bikavér wine, popularly known as "Bull's Blood". Although Sweet, white Tokaji remains unrivaled as Hungary's most famous wine overall, Bikavér (Bull's Blood) is surely the country's most famous red. The style – a Complex blend of several dark-skinned grapes – was first made in the late 19th Century, in Szekszard (200 kilometers/130 miles southwest of Eger). It rose to international fame in the 1970s, when the state-owned Egervin winery monopolized production of the style, and successfully promoted it on export markets.
The word of the wine: Food and wine pairing
It is the set of techniques that allow for the pleasant combination of food and wine. Food and wine pairing is based on a few basic principles, such as similarity, complementarity or contrast, and involves all the elements that make up the wine and the food (flavours, textures, aromas, etc.).
