Contexte culturel
The town of Melnik is the smallest in Bulgaria but world-famous for its wine. Winston Churchill reportedly ordered 500 liters of Melnik wine every year. On February 14th, Bulgarians celebrate the vine-growers. It's a day of pruning vines and drinking plenty of wine, often including sweet varieties. Offering homemade wine is a point of pride. If a host offers you 'сладко вино', it's polite to take at least a sip and compliment it. In the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, sweet red wine is used for communion, symbolizing the sacred nature of the drink.
