U. K. B. G. GUIDE TO DRINKS

The name "Gentil" or "Zwicker" and "Edels- wicker"is used when the wine is made from a blend of different varieties of grapes. Sometimes the name of the town or village is associated with the wine. Thus we get Traminer de Riquewihr or Riesling de Kayserberg, etc. The area produces mostly white wines, but it does also produce a small amount of red, rose and sparkling wines which are mostly consumed locally.
