Originally established at the Budapest Wine Society, Bortarsasag is the city's leading winery with four shops selling over five hundred different wines. For those of you uninitiated in the world of Hungarian wine, you're in for a real treat. The Magyars have been fomenting grape juice since Roman times, and their best bottles aren't so far behind France's finest. Try the full-bodied 'Bull's Blood' (Egri Bikavér) if you're a fan of red. Certainly whatever brand you opt for will be gratefully received by relatives back home.
