Sweden´s Wine Scene

Welcome to this winetasting focusing on Sweden!Ever heard about swedish wine? Not many have. In Sweden beer and brandy have been the main drinks and production. Some say that monastries made wine in Sweden during Medieval times but it is not as evident as in England or other countries. The swedish wineproduction that we know about from today started in the 1990´s. It is not a large production, approximately 30-40 wineries producing a couple of thousands of litres. In this winetasting we will look at the factors that are relevent for being able to make wine in Sweden, what kind of grapes are growing here, what kind of wines are produced and what can we predict about the future. I will introduduce to you a couple of swedish wineries and what they are producing. I am looking forward to meet you online for this tasting. During this tasting you will be able to learn more about wineproduction and how to taste wine. But you will also learn more about the different wineries in Sweden and challenges they are having. Hopefully this tasting will inspire you to taste more swedish wines and also to have a wonderful roadtrip around to the different wineries. These are run by passionate families and passionate winemakers. Some of them are swedish and some of them have come to Sweden from other countries and wineries to learn more about the high degree of sustainability that´s obtained in the work. For this tasting you can be a beginner as well as intermediate and advanced winetaster. I will guide you through in either way.
