The plug has been removed from the socket! – Will the curtain soon fall on the Heurigen culture?

Date:

A summer without a visit to the Heurigen is like a winter without snow. Yet more and more wine taverns in Austria are closing. The trend is also noticeable in Burgenland, where conviviality and conviviality are still very important. But young Heurigen owners are taking countermeasures.

The wine-growing community of Leithaprodersdorf, which has a population of 1,200 and is close to the border with Lower Austria, is considered the Heurigen stronghold of Burgenland. At peak times there were 60 Heurigen here. Now there are only twelve, a fifth of that. “Until December 24, you could visit a wine tavern every day and enjoy wine, cider and regional specialties. “We are no longer without a power socket for forty days,” laments Mayor Martin Radatz. Finally, wine taverns and wine taverns also contribute to regional tourism.
