Less than half a hectare are surrounded by the wall of the Liebfrauen garden itself (= "beloved Maria´s garden" / because "Liebfrau" is another word for Jesus´ Holy Mom / remark from the translator Bernd B). As small as this is the neighbouring capuciners monastery garden, with this combined it is two and a half hectar of a similar / fitting soil - that´s all what we are allowed to name "Liebfrauenmilch" soil. But how much Liebfrauenmilch wine is going out into the world.... The original price of a 1893 Liebfrauenmilch Klostergarten is about 5 Reichsmark (Emperor Wilhelm II. money & times). It is a painful fact that there are irregular huge amounts of wine around Worms being re-branded as Liebfrauenmilch, and only the "Luginsland" (LookIntoTheCounty, outlook point) is sailing under it´s own flag. = = end of trans = = This is a very old statement, but the "thing" seems to have remained the same for 100 yrs... And the shame is remaining the same. As a german and a wine enthusiast I am sorry for the millions of people allover the world who are treated so lousily by this types of german sweet "wine" like Liebfrauenmilch and Blue Nun and Oppenheimer Kroetenbrunnen and Kroever Nacktarsch and and.. They may be seen as a german revenge for Burger King & McDonalds.. Ask your dealer to spend´em to the salvation army... and if you can get them pls. buy the real things: wines like Rauentaler Baiken, Erbacher Marcobrunn, Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr, Uerziger Wuerzgarten, Bopparder Hamm, and a huge amount of other correct wines. Ask Sams Wine Guide (Marcus Hofschuster @ www.Wein-Plus.DE ). This will tell you. cheers also Bernd More infos: www.wein-plus.com Unsubscribe: www.wein-plus.com/abmelden.htm |
