Burčák to go on sale relatively early this year

Burčák, which is partially fermented young wine, should go on sale in Czechia relatively early this year, the Czech News Agency reported on Monday.

One winemaker, Miloslav Machuča from Úvaly near Valtice in the Břeclav region, said that he had already started harvesting his first grapes and would start selling burčák on August 1, the first day the drink may be sold.

This year’s growing season has accelerated the ripening process and the 2024 harvest should be better than those seen in recent years, Mr. Machuča said.
