To mark the 35th anniversary of the Budapest Wine Festival, we took a closer look at the wines featured by this year's exhibitors and highlighted the 35 most globally successful bottles. To qualify, a wine had to win at least a gold medal at a major international competition and several entries even outperformed world-class rivals in their category. These are true top-tier wines, all available for our visitors to taste. To help you navigate the festival, we have marked the corresponding booths on our official map.
Please note: This list could easily be much longer! Be sure to ask the marked exhibitors about their other premium wines.
