One of the dirtiest little secrets of the Hungarian wine world is the fact that so many amateur, semi-profession, and supposedly professional winemakers rely on added sugar. In fact, it’s so common that some winemakers aren’t ashamed to say so! Via consumer blog Tékozló Homár we found this listing on auction site vatera.hu for a bottle of rosé with a label saying it has enough added sugar to make it semi-sweet. We assume the whole thing is a spoof. Though like most such gags, it works because it’s all so believable. Ouch.
