Germany is a country famous for its wine regions, with over 100,000 hectares of vineyards stretching across the country. The country has been producing wine for over 2,000 years, and the art of winemaking has been passed down from generation to generation. Today, Germany is known for producing some of the best Rieslings in the world.
