What people are saying about TRINK
The brilliant winemakers of the German-speaking countries have badly needed an English-speaking champion and, finally, they have TRINK magazine. Well written, indispensable and full of the unexpected.
…a really great addition to the wine landscape!
Definitely a must-read for all wine lovers interested in “German-speaking” wines. Passionate editors and journalists meet here.
…among the best wine writing I’ve read this year: thoughtful, engaging, illuminating; stories not just about wine but about why the wine matters.
Great writing and the whole thing is beautifully put together.
Großartig. Klug. Ansprechend. Literarisch. So würde man sich das ideale Weinmagazin wünschen.
Give Trink a look. They are upping the ante on literature in winelit.
Every one of us who have lamented the paucity of coverage of wines from the German-speaking parts of Europe can now rejoice… Even if you think you’re uninterested in these stories, believe me they’re interested in you when you accept TRINK’s invitation to walk into this beautiful world.
Few wine publications offer TRINK’S informed, stylistically-refined mix of viticultural, aesthetic. historical, cultural, social and culinary observations.
