Treat recommendation from Die Rupps: genuine vintner's punch for the festive season

A cosy visit to the market calls for a hot drink of first-class artisan quality. True to the philosophy of cellar master Gerald Rupp – "Only good wine makes good mulled wine!" – family business Die Rupps from Höflein (Lower Austria) relies exclusively on the finest base wines and natural spice extracts rather than artificial flavourings.

The unmistakable Christmas Punch exudes the typical festive scent: selected fruit juices harmonise with exquisite spices and a subtle, delicate hint of rum for cosy, atmospheric hours.

Note: All dates and opening hours are based on the official preliminary announcements for the 2026 season. Please check www.hornstein.at before your visit.
