I haven’t seen the newest vintages and don’t remember it having a crown cap. When did this start? Didn’t it used to have a screw top of some type?

I haven’t seen the Hofer around my parts nearly as much whereas the Berger is everywhere.

Cheers!

a) neither of these wines will be available in my area; and
b) if they are they will be 50% higher priced.

Still, one liter of a fresh and respectable gruner sounds good to me!

The crown cap is an interesting addition, this is actually the first time I’ve seen it. Have they been around for a while and I just haven’t kept an open eye?

I am just happy that they are back in.

Had a hell of a time when they ran out. Angry mobs of East Villagers. Took the bottle to a sushi joint with BYOB meeting up with friends. Big hit!!

Oh and it is a good wine. Just like you said Doc: simple, zesty, well-rounded with some minerals swimming around. All this depending on the vintage but generally that is what people cant get enough of. It’s good stuff!

Only problem–in our family, just two of us drink wine, and my husband doesn’t like Gru Vee much, so it wasn’t as fresh and delicious for me on day 4. If I were a restaurant owner I’d love it, though.
