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.

A Pannonian taste experience in a class of its own: the Uhudler Original Punsch delights with the unmistakable aroma of wild woodland strawberries and ripe raspberries – a truly unique regional speciality.
