Schorle

Common name in Germany for a mixture of wine with soda or mineral water. It derives from the popular toast of a French officer who was stationed in Germany (Würzburg) at the beginning of the 19th century. Before each glass he used to say "Toujour l'amour", which roughly means "love every day". This then became the verbalisation "Schorlemorle" and later the short form "Schorle". In Austria, such a drink is called Gespritzter (dialectally G'spritzter, Spritzer) or mixture. However, there are certainly other, country- or local-specific names. See other drinks under wine-based drinks, mixed wine drinks and special wines.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
