Moved to Serbia
I recently relocated to Serbia. The choice of wines here is not as good as in Ireland (it’s actually quite bad), but there is an abundance of wines from the region, specifically from the ex-Yugoslavian states of Montenegro, Macedonia, Croatia and Slovenia. This is a region with great wine making potential since the climate is perfect for wine growing. There are some interesting local wines around and I will try to present you the best ones.
If you know of any good wines from this area that you think I should check out I’d be delighted to hear from you.

I live in Novi Sad (about 80km from Belgrade). Next to it is a very small town Sremski Karlovci famous for couple of things. When Autro-Hungarian and Turkish Empire agreed on their peace in Sremski Karlovci they had “Bermet” wine on their tables. “Bermet” is a traditional wine you have for Christmass in this region and it’s specific to this region. It is a sweet wine (with 20 herbs). That is just one wine I can recommend. Once a year there is a wine festival in Sremski Karlovci (usually in September), and in Novi Sad (in the summer).

I recently had a sip of Bermet and it was very interesting indeed. It’s a very sweet wine, different from any other I’ve tried so far, will definitelly try to get more and write about it. Thanks!
