From Grape to Glass to the Senses

A Toast to the Vines of Southwest Germany

Transcript for the Video: Discover the Winecountry Baden-Württemberg

The video, which is around thirty seconds long, is accompanied by typical sounds of the activities shown and presents wine trips to Baden-Württemberg. It is edited quickly and focuses on the attractive cultural landscape, hospitality and regional wines.

The journey to the south of the wine region begins with a view of vine leaves through which the sun is shining. The sound of the wind can be heard in the background. The intro says: Winecountry.

A fast gliding flight takes us directly into the vineyard. From above, we are immersed in the grape harvest. The dark grapes are still wet from the morning dew. They hang plump and juicy on the vine. Crickets chirp, water drips and winegrowers cut the grapes and fill the harvest buckets.

We continue with a pan into the wine cellar. The gurgling of water can be heard again. A glass of red wine is swirled and inspected. Fritz Keller smells the wine glass in the barrique barrel cellar. He is joined by a group of young people who are also tasting the wine and taking a tour of the cellar.

A bottle of wine is uncorked and served with a dish in a restaurant. The pleasure is written all over the guests' faces. Elsewhere, knives are sharpened to prepare a hearty snack directly in the vineyard on a panoramic terrace. A family enjoys regional specialties and the parents a glass of wine while enjoying the view over the vineyards to the Neckar loop and the twittering of birds.

In other places, the vines are grown on small terraces. Or larger vineyard plots characterize the landscape. But no matter where: people take time to celebrate. Wine tastes particularly good where it grows. At the Pop-up Events in the middle of the vineyard, visitors come into direct contact with the winegrowers. There is laughter and toasting together.

This is followed by a series of atmospheric social media posts, all of which highlight the joie de vivre and moments of enjoyment in the winecountry.

Our wine journey ends with a white wine, which is held up to the light to examine the color nuances. A change of perspective shows that the glass belongs to two young wine lovers on the modern, green roof terrace of the Keller winery in Oberbergen. The hashtag #winecountry appears. The message is clear: Winecountry Baden-Württemberg is wine enjoyment in its purest form.

The credits say: We are Southwest Germany - Baden-Württemberg.

Be inspired and enjoy unforgettable experiences with wine accompaniment in Baden-Württemberg!

Wine Regions of Baden-Württemberg

A Toast to the Sunlit Slopes of Baden-Württemberg

In the Kaiserstuhl and Markgräflerland regions, vineyards bask in extended sunlight. Baden is therefore the only German wine region classified in the sunny EU Wine Zone B. Leading wine experts rave: Baden rivals its French neighbors in excellence. Württemberg, known for Trollinger, Lemberger, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir is a classic red wine region. Unique Rieslings also thrive in Württemberg. Like its steep slopes along the Neckar River, Württemberg’s wine reputation is on a steep ascent.
