Wine is more than a finely crafted drink to the people of Vienna; drinking wine provides a path to friendships

By Candler Lowe

Vienna, Austria—Wine is sold everywhere in Vienna. Anywhere from wineries and bars to grocery stores and food stands, wherever there are people drinking wine together there is a sense of community. The people of Vienna drink wine as a way to relax and to enjoy the company of others. Bonding with friends while sipping on wine produced by Vienna’s own is a favorite pastime for many people, local Viennese and tourists alike.
