Designation article for "Smaragd" |
| (last edited 6/9/2016 4:25:55 AM by lvjohn) Wikipedia about Smaragd (german) Google translation in English of the German Wikipedia about Smagard From what I understand, these wines (very ripe, dry, late-harvest, etc.) were going to be designated Honivogl (after a kind of bird found in or near the vineyards, meaning 'honey bird'. However, the Honivogl family was involved in the wine trade in Austria and objected that this would cause confusion and weakening of their trademark. Another creature was therefore selected (the green lizard called Smaragd) to be the mascot (sort of ) for this kind of wine in the Wachau.
