A prize donated by ÖWM (Österreich Wein Marketing GmbH) and the Austrian Winegrowers' Association and named after the wine god Bacchus. It is awarded to personalities who have rendered outstanding services to Austrian wine. The award is presented annually on 11 November on the occasion of the traditional wine baptism. The award is intended as a thank you to those personalities who dedicate part of their work to Austrian wine and its culture and who stand up for a moderate and cultivated enjoyment of wine. This is in line with the endeavours to have the drinking culture and table culture (which wine with which food) at the level that a good glass of wine represents a real enrichment of life values.
