Did
you
know?...
... That Bull's Blood (Egri Bikavér), probably the best known wine in Hungary comes from Eger! Legend has it that during the ultimate battle in the 1552
siege by the Ottomans, the Castle defenders were given red wine to quench
their thirst amidst the fight. As the wine trickled down the chins and
beards leaving a red trail, the besiegers thought that the defending soldiers
had drunk bull's blood, for they apparently picked up strength and fought
even more valiantly to repel the onslaught.
