To make the Styrian autumn feeling perfect, a glass of fermenting grape must, the most popular of which is clearly Schilcher-Sturm. Fermenting grape must is a fermenting drink made from grapes. The fermentation process continues even after the drink is finished. This is why the bottles are never completely sealed when you buy them, otherwise they could burst. So be careful during transport! The more advanced the fermentation process, the higher the alcohol content.
