The Interactive Moselle Wine Museum has opened in Bernkastel-Kues. The museum has 20 interactive stations discussing such issues as terroir, history of the region, cartography, geology and viticulture as well as stations dealing with the flavors and aromas associated with Moselle wines.

The Buffalo Sabres now have an official wine. Bully Hill Vineyards of Hammondsport, NY has joined with the Sabres organization to produce Sabres Red and Sabres White.
