Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without some of the mainstay dishes that symbolize the day itself: turkey, giblet stuffing and gravy, cranberries and sweet potatoes, to name a few. But, while their flavors are inimitable, these foods are not necessarily easy to accommodate when it comes to finding their ideal matching wines – especially when served altogether at the same meal.

For Austrian Wine, 2007 appears to be the most successful export year ever. At the end of December, it was estimated that total exports for 2007 would be at 51 million litres with a value of € 93 million. Now, the actual figures are much higher: according to Statistik Austria, total exports for 2007 were 56 million litres with a sensational total value of more than €105 million. A key factor for these impressive results is because of the strong value increase of more than 30% in high value bottled wine exports.

After the first tastings of the young 2007 vintage wines, the faces of the winemakers and professional tasters throughout Austria’s wine-growing areas expressed strong satisfaction about the high level of quality achieved. And those faces were much brighter than they were at harvest time, when the results - from good to outstanding - couldn’t even be hoped for, due to the difficult summer and autumn weather conditions. In general, those somewhat extreme weather capers are not reflected in the wines, which are quite balanced. In fact, there are no extremes in the picture. And, another major plus-point is that, after three years of below-average quantities, a “normal harvest” could once again be achieved.

Agreements reached for EU Wine Market Reforms Promotes Further Quality Improvement Programmes in Austria. Austria’s wine sector enjoyed a successful economic year in 2007.
