Whether it's an exuberant get-together with good friends or a delicious festive meal with the family - if there's an opportunity to clink glasses together, the right person in the group will quickly come up with a refreshing toast! It doesn't matter whether tart beer or sparkling rosé is served. It all depends on the guests! Surprise them and serve them their favorite drink from porcelain cups. Our fine white gold will accompany you through every celebration! When you raise your cups in the company of your loved ones and the Christmas goose is deliciously served on the table in front of you, all that's missing is the right toast for the noble occasion.

The words "Cheers!" are used most frequently, and in more distinguished circles the phrase is also known as "Good health!" or in Germany even "Prosit!". "May it benefit" describes its meaning, which can be traced back to an old student saying. However, if the celebration is of a more festive nature, two words are often not enough before the enjoyable toast. At weddings or round birthdays, the people of honor of the day like to make a speech before the glasses are raised. It is also common for another guest to offer their congratulations in a thoroughly formulated three-liner. We know this type of short speech as a "toast". But surely everyone has wondered where the term with the light and fluffy pastry in the name actually comes from? The explanation is actually quite simple. The English lords of the 19th century placed a piece of bread in their glass before drinking the wine. This supposedly made the wine taste better than if they didn't do so. Nowadays, we can be glad that our wines have developed so well that this tradition is no longer necessary.

Wine lovers do not have to do without their pleasure in the coming cold winter months. Mulled wine warms us up from the inside and is a real treat, especially at Christmas markets. You can also bring this cozy winter atmosphere into your home with MEISSEN! With our modern Mulled Wine gourmet set, you will receive two timelessly designed, snow-white porcelain mugs in the "Berlin" shape and an exquisite bottle of "Wackerbarths Weiss & Heiss". Enjoy an excellent mulled wine with exquisite grapes from the region around Meißen. We then recommend the toast "In vino veritas" to accompany our modern mulled wine set. "In wine lies the truth" is what these words from ancient Latin would have us believe. The people of that time are still right today. Those who enjoy a sip of alcohol can be a little more honest than they might like.
