Stars in the east: the shining lights of eastern European wine
Briefly

Central and eastern European wines, long overshadowed by flagship regions like France and Spain, are rich in history and flavor, with tiny producers emerging on the global stage.
Despite their storied past, wines from Slovenia, Slovakia, and other Eastern bloc countries remained local during communism. Today, specialist importers are pushing these wines into the international market.
Zainab Majerikova of Basket Press Wines emphasizes that winemaking in Central Europe matches the age and depth of that in renowned wine countries, with Czech wines pre-dating brewing.
Slovenian wines, particularly whites like those made from the friulano grape, offer diverse flavor profiles at various price points, showcasing the region's emerging status on the wine map.
