The old way of prepairing the wine

In the very neighbour of Sremski Karlovci, the best vine is growing, the best grape is collecting and the wine is producing. The, which was dinking for the centuries, were in wine-cards on the boats sailing from Europe to America. One of the most popular is rose “Karlovci Tovajn”. “Karlovacki Bermet” and “Karlovacki Ausbruh” are unique wines. And nowadays, tradition of producing of wines is kept. The most popular is “Karlovacki Rizling” which is “must try” if you are having lunch in one of Karlovci’s restaurants.
