When it comes to wine, the city on the River Main in the German state of Hesse is best known for its cider (dialectally known as Äppelwoi or Ebbelwoi). The old town of the Sachsenhausen district is a popular nightlife and pub district, where there are traditional and sometimes very old cider pubs such as "Wagner", "Fichtekränzi" or "Zum gemalten Haus". At the Frankfurt Christmas market, hot cider is served alongside mulled wine.

Frankfurt also has a vineyard called Lohrberger Hang single vineyard. This is the smallest and easternmost vineyard in the Rheingau wine-growing region and is cultivated by the Frankfurt city winery. Around 10,000 bottles of Riesling are produced each year, most of which is vinified dry and reaches late harvest quality in good years.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
