Common synonym (also Vöslaner) in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region Thermenregion for the grape variety Blauer Portugieser, which is derived from the wine and spa town Bad Vöslau. However, Vöslauer is also a well-known mineral water brand from this town, which is often used for the two wine-mixed drinks Gespritzter and Mischung. See also under mixed drinks and wine-based drinks.
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
