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.

Classic craftsmanship for special moments: the Rupps Feuerzangenbowle combines rich red wine with the characteristic caramel note of melted sugarloaf and fine winter spices.

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