Pláne – a provocative refreshment

Pláne is a word often used in Hungarian language, but is difficult to translate. One dictionary says it means: ’let alone’ while a native English speaking translator would use ’of course’ instead. The simplest translation is ’special’ so if you ask what the ’pláne’ is in this, you ask what is special about it. Well, we know what’s the ’pláne’ about this lovely designed areated sparkling wine called Pláne! made by Etyeki Kúria!

The winery is famous for its superb Pinot Noir but they are qually good at Chardonnay, and many young winelovers are familiar with their Red and White blends at extremely good price for the value.
