House of Wines can be found in one of Lincoln's oldest buildings-- The Norman House at 47 Steep Hill.

The City of Lincoln is twinned with Neustadt an der Weinstrasse in the south west of Germany. All the wines in stock are produced and bottled in this area. Neustadt an der Weinstrasse is Germany's largest wine growing community with more than 5,000 acres of vineyards. A group of wine producers got together to establish a House of Wines in Neustadt offering their produce for sale from a central point. This idea proved so successful that it was decided to open a House of Wines in Lincoln and the shop was opened in 1998. Wednesday/Thursday <---07763 410517 (Richard)-->

All of the wines on offer are produced and bottled by the wine growers themselves and as such are entitled to carry the designation 'Erzeugerabfullung' or 'Gutsabfullung' on the bottle label. The higher the quality of the wine the more distinctive are the differences in grape variety, vintage, vineyard origin and flavour. In addition to this each winemaker leaves his own individual fingerprint on the wine he/she produces. For this reason the 'House of Wines' gives you the unique opportunity to buy and to learn more about the wonderful world and culture of wine.
