Awards:  The legend of Kékfrankos: “When on 10 April 1809 a civil war broke out again between Napoleon’s French empire and Habsburg Empire, citizens of Sopron had not imagined that the French troops would soon occupy the town. Invasion was a burden of course, but at the same time Sopron can be grateful to the French troops for giving a name to their most excellent wine. When the soldiers went to buy wine, they paid with their currency called franc. Sopron winemakers soon realized that the ’blue franc’ is more valuable, so they kept asking for ‘kékfrankos’ (‘blue franc banknote) in return for their wine. The grape has been called Kékfrankos since then. (Story by András Krisch)
