i don't understand o.O , and i never saw that before.
[EDIT:] Now i got it ! You mean "Schorle" (Wine+Water with gas), yeah this makes cheap wine for 1 or 2 euros drinkable
But i actually feel sorry for anyone who never tasted German White wine
I have tried lots of wines from all over the world, even from countries i didn't expect good wine from. But German White wine is definately one of the best, even though i pretty like now the southafrican one.
It's not only France that can produce wine, and imo the few good reds from France are not as a good as the ones from spain, mexico or southafrica.
But it's still a matter of taste and preferrence if dry, fruity, heavy or light, cuvee and of course the grape variety.

I cannot believe you have never heard about Weinschorle. Are you German ? In the past, I brought wine to celebrate the end of my internship or when I changed jobs, and most of the colleagues mixed it with water ( now that I know they are doing it, I only bring cheap German wine and no real Alsatian wine anymore).
There are different quality of wine, and there are some good German white wines, but honestly nowhere near what is produced in Alsace. Cite me only which is worth it...

This is a matter of taste. You'd have trouble finding professionals backing this up, though.

The colleagues mixed water with my Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives 2007. I could have killed them.

But Alsace made it twice in the Top10 (and I have much better references than the Schlumberger for Pinot Gris)

This is how one or two World War started. Actually, a true Alsiacian, is neither French nor German, he is ... Alsacian.

Ah, a 'spritzer' in English.
I was at a wine fair recently in Germany and got a chance to taste a lot of wines I had heard of such as the bierenauslesen wines and they were every bit as good as I hoped. Very nice.

Oh what tosh, Alsace is almost German anyway!
(But seriously, there are some really nice sweet wines in Germany, as well as some dry ones)

There are some god ones, for sure, and I do like them but Alsatian/Luxembourg wines are the same as Germans wines IMO.
However there are some really good whites form elsewhere though!

I'm the type of guy who comes in the office, makes coffee, boots PC (witch was switched off), sips coffee, reads mail, reads daily websites and then starts working (although reading mail is working, kinda). Some colleagues come in, sit down, take PC out of hibernate and start working within seconds.
I'm curious what do you do at the start of the day... ?

Wake up, fall out of bed, drag a comb across my head, find my way downstairs and drink a cup, then looking up, notice I am late, find my coat and grab my hat, make the bus in seconds flat, find my way upstairs and have a smoke, then somebody speaks and I go into a dream.
Ah.
