"I can confidently say that Hungarian wine culture cannot be known through a bottle of wine bought in a hypermarket," Márton Cseh, wine expert, sommelier, and manager of Kleman cellar claims. "The Hungarian wine tradition is not about producing millions of bottles each year, with wines of trendy tastes. Its essence can be found, rather, in the variety and high quality wines we produce. "In order to truly understand the wine culture of a country, a visitor should also gain some knowledge about the traditions, foods, arts and legends in connection with wine. Exploring Hungarian wine culture can also be a great tool for discovering the individual values of each wine region.

"If you spend some time with the locals, taste their foods, get to know their customs and explore their lands, you are on the right path to understanding - and perhaps, loving - Hungarian wines, the places and the people who produce them," Cseh says.
