Slovak wine producers welcome the tightening in the production of Tokaji aszú

The wine producers in Slovakia are happy, because thanks to the decision of the Mountain Village Council of the Tokaji Wine Region, in the future only 5 and 6 butt Tokaji aszú can be produced in the Hungarian Tokaji wine region – the Hospodárské noviny (HN) Slovak economic daily wrote on Monday.

The Hungarian decision that aimed to improve the quality and exclusivity of the Tokaji wines, makes a luxury product from the Hungarian tokaji, but paradoxically, in Slovakia the 3-4 butt, cheaper and lower quality versions of the Tokaj wines will continue to be produced – the Hospodárské Noviny (HN) wrote.
