Czech Republic · entire country · Traditional event · Vína z Moravy a vína z Čech — Wine Fund portal ↗
The first wine from the current harvest may not go on sale until 11th November. The label is protected and wines must pass a tasting panel, so this is not a marketing date but a binding rule. On that day, bottles are uncorked in wineries and restaurants alongside roast goose.
