Is Blue Nun a german wine?

Here comes the answer:

Blue Nun is an historic wine brand from Germany. It has been associated for much of its history with a single, semi-sweet Liebfraumilch wine, but today encompasses a range of styles from several countries.

The brand was first launched in the early 1920s by H. Sichel Söhne of Mainz as a consumer-friendly wine without the long, complicated name usually associated with German wines. Blue Nun was extremely popular in the USA and UK from the end of World War Two, throughout the 20th Century.
 
Why is nobody voting? :(

You do not have to know anything about German wine here! :)

Only say whether you like the name. :)
 
Can you imagine how frustrating it is the make such a list - and then NOBODY votes? :(
 
Of course there is no obligation to vote.
But is it so much work just to click onto something?

:cool:

:oops:
No - he just isn't aware, from where the US Grape-Vines in majority come from :D
Many Americans do not regard wine as something exquisite - but buy it in gallon format at the supermarket.
So cheap, (therefore light) and sweet is the general approach.

However interestingly some of this gallon format wine - isn't bad either - just no European wine culture associated with it.

See how these wild people, degraded our Haute Cuisine - Wienerwuerstel&Bratwurst - to Hotdogs. or Buletten to Hamburgers :smoke:
 
I am pleased to see that we have 2 voters now. :)

So my list was not in vain. :)
