Time
for Burčák!
The Czech wine harvest usually begins at the end
of August and September is the month for celebrations
(vinobraní). Large festivals take place
in the main Czech wine growing regions in southern
Moravia (Mikulov and Znojmo) and north of Prague
(Mělník). Celebrations can also be found in Prague
and other places throughout the country. Burčák,
young Czech wine, is an integral part of the events.
It is a sweet, cloudy and slightly bubbly drink.
It goes down easy at around 5% alcohol, but be careful
as it continues to ferment after it has been imbibed!
If you drink a lot, be ready for a kick.
