Wine From the Baden-Region Goes to India
The Pinot Noir red wine comes in German embassies on the table
The 2018 Pinot Noir red wine from the “Hex vom Dasenstein” wine cellar, just 50 kilometers away from Karlsruhe, situated at the upper Rhine, is part of the “Embassy Range 2020”. It is one of over 40 wines and sparkling wines from German growing areas that may now be served at official events and receptions in German embassies around the world.

The “German Wine Institute” (DWI), in cooperation with the Foreign Office, selected 47 products from 300 wines and sparkling wines. With the red wine, the winery took part in the tender of the “German Wine Institute” for the first time and immediately made the leap into the range. A jury of experts put together the collection after a covert tasting of more than 300 wines and sparkling wines from almost all German growing areas.

Neben echten Vanilleschoten finden Verbraucher auch Extrakte, Pasten und flüssige Aromen. Vanille gehört zu den weltweit am häufigsten eingesetzten Aroma- und Geschmacksträgern, hat der „TÜV Süd“ untersucht, und gibt einen Überblick zur Erzeugung, Qualität und Deklaration der Produkte. Sie findet sich u.a. in Schokolade, Backwaren, Desserts oder Eiscreme. Auch Arzneimittel, Kosmetika oder Papiere werden damit versetzt, um einen angenehmen Geruch zu erreichen. Sowohl in der natürlichen Vanille als auch im synthetisch hergestellten Produkt ist Vanillin die wichtigste aromagebende Komponente. Insgesamt sind es jedoch etwa 200 aroma-aktive Stoffe, die zum Geschmack der natürlichen Variante beitragen.

Digital formats under the umbrella brand # indiasummerdays2020
India in all its colors: This is how the "India Summer Days" in Karlsruhe have presented themselves since their premiere in 2017 and have quickly developed into one of the largest India festivals in Germany. Karlsruhe celebrates with the "India Summer Days", organized by "Karlsruhe Marketing und Event", the strong German-Indian partnership between Baden-Württemberg and Maharashtra in the areas of business and culture.

In turbulent times like the one we are currently experiencing, social cohesion across national borders is more important than ever. Even if the "India Summer Days" cannot take place as planned as part of the pre-festival week of South Germany's largest family festival Das Fest, the India lover does not have to do without experiencing a piece of Indian culture.
