@polishwineguide @PeterPharos @TatianaLivesey @andrij_wine Apparently it’s Easter Europe, according to our original post 🤦🏻‍♂️ dodged that bullet!...

Not Finland @polishwineguide - we’re not covering Scandinavia.

We’re not trying to define or redefine the term, just produce a comprehensive, interesting & informative guide on the area.
