Award-winning wine platform Exotic Wine Travel is set to release a visitor-friendly guidebook to Hungarian wine.

Award-winning wine communicators Charine Tan and Matthew Horkey, of Exotic Wine Travel, announce their fourth wine book Discover Hungarian Wine: A Visitor-Friendly Guide, available for pre-order on Kickstarter. This visitor-friendly wine travel guidebook book aims to help independent travelers and wine lovers of all levels of expertise to experience the best wines of Hungary.

Discover Hungarian Wine will include:

– An introduction to Hungary’s six wine regions and 22 wine districts: including their history, climatic conditions, geographical features, key wine grapes, and styles
– A guide to understanding and interpreting Hungarian wine labels
– A pronunciation guide
– Wine recommendations, complete with tasting notes and some food-pairing suggestions
– A list of recommended places to purchase Hungarian wines

The book will also include additional insights from wine personalities such as Master of Wine Elizabeth Gabay and Hungarian wine writer Dániel Ercsey. With nearly 65,000 hectares of vines, around 40 indigenous grape varieties, a myriad of distinctive wine styles including the historically significant Bikavér (Bull’s Blood) blend, and some of the world’s oldest classified vineyards such as Tokaj, Hungary has no shortage of wines that will bound to enthrall wine drinkers.

“The book will offer practical information that helps visitors to learn about Hungarian wine, shop for Hungarian wine, enjoy Hungarian wine, and most of all, feel empowered to explore Hungarian wine,” said Matthew Horkey.

“The Exotic Wine Travel’s guidebooks are always written and designed with one goal in mind: to help wine lovers and travelers save time and money by helping them to skip or shorten the trial-and-error process of finding the wines they like. We always aim to produce a guidebook that we wished we had when we first visited a wine country,” said Charine Tan.

Industry professionals have been quick to offer praise. Master Sommelier and author John Szabo, said,

“Hungary remains one of the last traditional European wine-producing countries yet to be fully appreciated internationally. It has a rich history with a wealth of indigenous varieties and wine styles that deserve to be better known. Charine and Matthew are undoubtedly passionate about the subject and considering their frequent travels to lesser-known European regions, including Hungary, are uniquely positioned to report on what the country has to offer today.”

Discovery Hungarian Wine is available for pre-order on Kickstarter now and will be released on Amazon in 2020.
