# Spritzer (Weißer)

> <p><strong>What's in it:</strong> Austrian white wine (Grüner Veltliner, Welschriesling) topped 50/50 with sparkling water. That's it.<br><strong>Where it's from:</strong> Austria's Heurigen (wine taverns), where it's served from a quarter-litre jug and treated as a meal accompaniment, not a cocktail.<br><strong>When to drink it:</strong> Lunch onwards, especially at a long wooden Heuriger table with pretzels and Schinken nearby.<br><strong>The case:</strong> The most Austrian way to extend a wine afternoon into a wine evening into a wine night. Zero pretension, infinite charm.</p>
