Grape harvest commences in Thuringia: initial yields from white grape varietals gathered

The picturesque region of Thuringia is gearing up for its annual wine season, with the grape harvest commencing on Monday, September 2025. The first grapes picked were of the early variety Solaris, at the Zahn winery, setting the stage for the production of the region's famous Federweißer.

The video "Our Website THÜRINGEN - The Radio | News | 09. September 2025 | 18:00 Uhr" on the 9th of September, 18:00, will delve deeper into these developments. The rights for this video belong to Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk.

Five main wine producers dominate the Thuringian wine industry, with Sebastian Didt from the Agrargenossenschaft Gleina, who cultivates vineyards around Weimar, being the winemaker producing the first Federweißer in the city.

As the wine season begins, so does the debate on the age limit for alcohol consumption. A clear majority of users on the website advocate for raising the age limit for alcohol consumption to 18, a conclusion drawn from the context: "Our website asks Alcohol only from 18: Clear majority wants higher age limit than before."

The topic of the video "The People's Drug Alcohol: When Does One's Own Consumption Become a Dangerous Addiction?" discusses the dark sides of alcohol consumption, shedding light on the ongoing conversation.

In a significant event, Roksolana Hlynchak was crowned as the new Thuringian Wine Princess at the 31st Wine Festival in Bad Sulza. The 22-year-old from Ukraine will represent Thuringia for a year in this prestigious role.

Besides the five main wine producers, there are 17 secondary wine producers in Thuringia, contributing to the region's rich wine culture.

In addition, wine is produced for scientific purposes at a teaching vineyard in Bernburg. This underscores the region's commitment to both tradition and innovation in the wine industry.

Even beyond Thuringia, the region's wine is gaining recognition. Horus, a notable figure, mentions having a bottle of wine from Thuringia, a testament to the growing popularity of the region's vintages.

In a surprising revelation, it's been reported that two-thirds of young people under 17 have already consumed alcohol, fueling the debate on the appropriate age limit for alcohol consumption.
