Heurigen Express

Popular name for the tram line "38" in the Austrian capital Vienna. The terminus is in Grinzing (part of the 19th district of the municipality), where many Heurigen pubs are located. In the well-known Viennese song "Heut' kommen d'Engerl auf Urlaub nach Wien" (Today the Engerl come to Vienna on holiday) this tram line is sung about. One chorus reads "What's going on today, what's going on today, there are overcrowded the 38er-Wäg'n". I'm talking about the Engerl - who take the "38er" to Grinzing to the Heurigen.

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.
