On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of Hungarian-Chinese diplomatic relations, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán presented Chinese President Xi Jinping with a rare 1949 vintage Tokaji Aszú and a six-bottle selection of unique Tokaji wines. The quality of museum wines is outstanding, after at least five years of maturation, they acquire their characteristic aroma, which results from the unique combination of the place of production and the method of production.

Examining the market value of the wines, a 1949 Tokaji Aszút was sold for approximately HUF 169,000 on the Wine Offer page, while on the Vintage Wine & Port page it was sold for HUF 295, which corresponds to approximately HUF 133,000 – the Pénzcentrum wrote.

Pál Rókusfalvy, the government commissioner responsible for national wine marketing, has recently signed several letters of intent for cooperation, which promote the promotion and market access of Hungarian wines to Asia. The wines given as a gift are not only a diplomatic gesture, but also for the purpose of promoting the excellence of Hungarian winemaking internationally.
