The Community in Copenhagen had a wonderful evening as Tobias Fuchas the InterNations local Ambassador relates:

“On a cold, foggy winter night, Wednesday the 21.1.2009, 14 members of the InterNations community in Copenhagen found their way to “Österreich” wine shop at Esplanaden 3 for an exclusive wine tasting of Austrian wines.

As our host and owner Sebastian Rind strongly feels that all too little is known about the excellent and talented winemakers from this small country in the Alps, we got offered 3 outstanding white and red wines (!) each from his wine cellar. Sebastian had made sure there was nothing missing and offered water, bread, fine pumpkinseed oil, different cheese, pepperoni and olives along with the wines.

Eyes, nose and palate were enjoying the wines, anecdotes were circling and pleasant conversation filled the room. Everyone was enjoying themselves and new friendships were forged. Over three hours later the last wineglasses were emptied and reluctantly, but in the best of moods we left the cosy wine store carrying many positive impressions home. From China, Australia, Germany, Denmark, Bulgaria, USA, Scotland, Ghana, … the Austrian wines have made an impact and I am sure there are many new ambassadors for Austrian wines in Copenhagen now !

One of the most charming events we have held in Copenhagen and surely not the last time we organise a wine tasting! Tobias Fuchs”
