Flavouring

The addition of various Aromastoffe to wine to enhance its taste and/or appearance or to make it Haltbarkeit is an ancient practice that has been around for thousands of years. Many of the Antike Weine were flavored. Ancient texts from Mesopotamia contain recipes with the addition of honigartig, würzig, myrrh, and even drugs. The Germans were already producing mead (honey wine) before the turn of the era. The Greeks added Harze, as is still customary in retsina today, as well as various spices like absinthe, anise, and pepper.

Aromatizing - Clove, Pepper, Lead, Myrrh, Anise

1 = cloves, 2 = pepper, 3 = lead, 4 = myrrh, 5 = anise
