In the field of tension between old and new, wine instead of brandy now flows into the glass in the RheinWeinWelt vinotheque. In the historic Asbach area in Rüdesheim, 76 wineries, each with 2 wines from Nierstein to Königswinter, invite you to taste them. This happens here in an unusual way and becomes a physical experience that is unparalleled in Germany. In the old historic wine tanks, which are lined with opaque, shimmering original cermaic tiles and have a capacity of up to 70,000 liters, in which the raw brandy was stored in the Asbach era, there are specially designed dispensers in which the wines are always cooled or warmed to the optimum temperature.
