Storm

Informations about "Storm" in news+stories

Austrian term for a partially fermented grape must that must come exclusively from grapes harvested and processed in Austria. It is derived from the "stormy" sound of the carbonated drink. It is an EU-wide origin-protected, traditional term, which is why it must be labelled with a country wine origin (Bergland, Steirerland or Weinland). The alcohol content must be at least 1.0% vol. Due to the potential for continued fermentation, this can increase to 10% alcohol by volume, which is usually prevented by refrigeration. The total alcohol content may not exceed 13.5% vol (white) or 14.5% vol (red).
