Beer and Wine from Germany

We love their beer, we love their wine, but what makes these German drinks so special? Here is an inside look at German libations, including mixed drinks using beer and non-alcoholic drinks.
Strawberry Summer Punch - German Erdbeerbowle
Strawberry Punch, or Erdbeerbowle, is a party must-have at summer parties in Germany. This sweet, alcoholic punch is easy to make and has a very striking color. German white wine and strawberry punch is a wonderful addition to your summer soirée.
German Grape Varietals
German grapes and the wine they make differ surprisingly from the better known varietals grown in the US, Italy or France. While whites predominate, German reds are making some inroads and receiving acclaim.
German Wine - Deutscher Wein
For years, German wine has been seen by America as cheap Liebfraumilch in the blue bottle, or sweet Rieslings. While many of the exports are still sweet, dry Riesling has enjoyed a boom in the 21st century with the result that German wine exports to the US doubled between 1995 and 2006.
Mixed Drinks in Germany
If you are ordering drinks in Germany or need a special mix to wash down that wonderful roast and potatoes, look no further. Here is a list of the most common mixed drinks served in Germany.
