Contexto cultural
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.
Ordering like a local
Just say 'Üks punane, palun' (One red, please) in a casual bar.
The 'Viin' Trap
Be careful not to say 'viin' unless you want a shot of vodka!
