The Austrian Wine Adventure Tour
(AWMB/September 2005) - Ever wondered what the terms "peppery
fruit" and "mineral finish" meant when describing a typical
Grüner Veltliner? Have all those foreign words on Austrian wine
labels got you confused? And would you like to be able to pronounce them
without tripping on your tongue? Need a cure for the ABC-Syndrome?
Have no fear; help is on the way. The Austrian Wine Adventure Tour is an interactive
website dedicated to just those needs and more!
There are currently 6 virtual Adventure Tours through Austrian wine country where you can discover the newest trends, the juiciest insider secrets, and just who is shakin' and makin' the dynamic Austrian wine scene.
There is a corresponding Quiz for each of the 6 Adventure Tours where you can test your knowledge of Austrian wine. At Wine Rap you can learn how to read Austrian wine labels and listen to a native speaker pronounce Austrian wine terms. Teacher's Toys offers registered users useful educational tools like printable overhead transparencies, maps, a Powerpoint® presentation, and a seminar script all to fit the needs of wine educators wishing to give seminars on Austrian wine.
Michael Thurner, director of the Austrian Wine Marketing Board enthuses, “This unique website makes it fun and easy for professionals and consumers alike to increase confidence and enjoyment with Austrian wine.”
