Many high-end, opinion-forming restaurants are seeing excellent sales of German wines. & Hotelkeeper, 3 November 2005
I am not sure at what point exactly during my first ever trip to Germany I realised just what I had been missing
out on […] Maybe it was when sampling yet another fabulous wine of the region.
Janette Atkin, Leicester Mercury, 12 November 2005

William Echikson, Wall Street Journal Europe, 18 November 2005
A stunning Renaissance is now well underway…sales of German wine priced above £6 have grown dramatically…British consumers
have truly begun to take German wine seriously.
