Bedeutung
A type of wine made from dark grapes.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Estonians often drink 'hõõgvein' (mulled red wine) during the winter months, especially at Christmas markets. Bringing a bottle of red wine as a gift when visiting someone's home is a very common and appreciated gesture. In Estonia, it is polite to wait for a toast ('Terviseks!') before taking the first sip of your red wine. Wine bars (veinibaarid) in Tallinn often serve red wine with local Estonian cheeses or rye bread snacks.

The 'Viin' Trap
