István Nagy: Hungarian wine producers are not opponents, but inspirers of each other

Ottó Légli, president of the National Council of Mountain Villages, emphasized that so much talent and innovation has accumulated among Hungarian wine producers that “now we no longer have to compete with each other, but with ourselves”. As he reminded, the National Wine Competition was organized again after two years. The OBV is much more than a competition, rather a kind of forum, since the evaluation is primarily carried out by the producers – he noted. Pál Rókusfalvy, the government commissioner responsible for national wine marketing, emphasized that the OBV is the most prestigious and largest Hungarian wine competition. Speaking about his recently occupied office, he said: his task is to coordinate community wine marketing and wine communication tasks, as well as to prepare the strategy for the coming years. Our job is to ensure that every deciliter of wine has its place. – emphasized the government commissioner, emphasizing the foreign trade and tourism aspects of wine marketing.

232 wineries from 22 wine regions of the country entered the 41st National Wine Competition with a total of 824 items. The prize for the most successful winery went to Pajzos Tokaj, whose wines won three gold medals and two gold medals this year.
