Yes, this is a bit silly, but here goes. I'm not a beer-drinker (and actually know/appreciate little about alcholic beverages) but I do love Asti -- what can I order in Germany that would be similar? PS - After reading several posting about German beers, I'll probably try a couple while we're there.

Look for the word "Sekt" on the wine list (German for "sparkling wine", generically) - - then ask the waiter "sooss"? (pronounced just like Dr. Seuss) - - to ask if it's sweet.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

More like "Zeus"--initial "s" in German is voiced. And the vowel isn't really "oo"--it's the same sound as French "u".

I agree on both counts. I was trying to make as simple as possible.<BR>

Tho' why you would want to drink sweet fizzy wine is beyond me. Most German sekt wine is rubbish mass market stuff not worth drinking. About 10% is any good, and it is uniformly dry. the label will say "brut". It should be made from a single grape- probably reisling- and will have a year vintage also on the label. Hope this helps.

Hi Rita<BR>you can also order "Prosecco". Enjoy your stay here in my country!<BR>Ingrid
