Polish wine – although not as well-known as its Western European counterparts – has a rich and intriguing history. Its “career” began at the tables of the elite – princes and bishops – in castle halls and monastic refectories. It was served to envoys and high-ranking dignitaries and offered to guests at weddings and betrothals. Wine was considered a prestigious beverage and it was widely believed that those aspiring to join the social elite should partake in it. This elevated status also stemmed from its sacred function – in Catholic liturgy, wine symbolises the blood of Christ.
