The European programme "Wine in Moderation, Art de Vivre” wants to prevent alcohol misuse and renders moderate wine consumption to be fashionable. Those who wish to protect the environment and natural resources get their chance by buying one of the high-quality wines from eco-friendly sustainable wineries.

Vintage Cocktails: retro-design drinks
Meininger Publishing's FIZZZ Lounge travels historical paths this year. Un-der the motto "Vintage Cocktails", classic drinks of past decades are presented. Bartender legend Bill Deck and his son, David, from Pusser's in Munich, mix cocktails from the old days, as well as their contemporary interpretations. Bill Deck is considered a trailblazer of the classic American bar in Germany. He brought the idea to Germany more than 30 years ago and opened Pusser's in Munich. Andy Warhol was a guest here and enjoyed "old school mixing" by Bill Deck—classic, conservative, classy and elegant.
