More than 30 of the best Austrian sparkling wine producers gathered to bring the unique quality of the local sparkling wine closer to an extremely interested specialist audience.
Austrian sparkling wine as the perfect accompaniment to food was the focus of a large culinary “partner search” for sparkling wine and food pairing. Optimally chilled Sekt Austria met smoked char and New York cheesecake, among other things. As a special highlight, the actress and director Kristina Sprenger opened the sparkling after-work clubbing with a musical live act in her role as champagne ambassador.
The Day of Austrian Sparkling Wine is traditionally held every year on October 22nd. Local sparkling wine producers all over the country lure visitors to their cellars with individual programs. At numerous events, sparkling wine lovers can find out about the product and how it is made, as well as taste the various types and categories. Exciting guided tours through the world of sparkling wine production and delicious sparkling wine and food specials are also on the program.
The complete program for the Day of Austrian Sparkling Wine is available at www.sektaustria.at.
The sensational market successes both at home and abroad are more than gratifying. The export quota was increased by an amazing 34 percent in 2021. This shows that the 200 domestic sparkling wine producers can more than hold their own in the tough international competition. This effervescent success also continued in the home market. The rosé sparkling wine alone, which is very popular in summer, recorded an increase of a little more than 30 percent last year.
The classification under the term “Sekt Austria” created in 2021 with the quality pyramid classic, reserve and large reserve is easy to understand and unmistakable. It also guarantees 100 percent Austrian origin and the sensory quality test that has been carried out. A visible sign of the positive test is the red-white-red banderole on the top of the champagne bottle.
Conclusion: Sekt Austria is more than a New Year’s Eve drink and is a universal culinary accompaniment, whether as an aperitif, as part of a menu or at the end of an enjoyable evening.
