Definition och Betydelse av "May wine"

What is "May wine"?

May wine, also known as Maibowle, is a traditional German wine that is typically consumed during the springtime festivities in May. The wine is typically a white wine, such as Riesling or Müller-Thurgau, that is flavored with sweet woodruff herb, which gives it a unique and refreshing taste. To prepare May wine, the herb is steeped in the wine for several hours, along with some sugar and a small amount of lemon juice. The wine is then chilled and served with fresh strawberries or other fresh fruits. May wine is often served at outdoor gatherings and is a beloved springtime tradition in Germany, where it is often enjoyed during the May Day celebrations.
