Editing Sopron (section)

==Wine production==

Sopron is a significant [[wine]] producing region, one of the few in Hungary to make both [[red wine|red]] and [[white wine]]s. Grapes include [[Kékfrankos]] for red wine and [[Traminer]] ([[Gewürztraminer]]) for white wine. In climate it is similar to the neighbouring Burgenland wine region in Austria, and several winemakers make wine in both countries. Blue Frankish (= Kékfrankos, Blaufränkisch), Traminer, and Green Veltliner (= Zöld Veltelini, Grüner Veltliner) are well-known Sopron wines. Sopron's Blue Frankish and Pinot Noir wines are particularly prized.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.winetime.hu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&Itemid=72&lang=en|title=Wine Regions Sopron|website=www.winetime.hu|access-date=2009-06-19|archive-date=2016-04-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160410110814/http://www.winetime.hu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&Itemid=72&lang=en|url-status=dead}}</ref>
