I've seen some bottles of Tokai Aszu 5 puttonyos in the Carrefour at Segny in a quite good price.  Usually I import Hungarian wines myself :)

 Without any offence,don't we have plenty of excellent wines in that Switzerland/France area?

:O)

Of course we have. Anyway Hungarian wines are cheap and also excellent quality. You should give a try :)

Actually, I have already tried  some Tokai which was really good (my previous boss was Hungarian)...but, even if it is cheap in Hungary, it might a bit be more expensive if you import it...

Cheers!!!!

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I should have been more accurate with the title. It was not meant to be about Hungarian wines being superior to wines from other countries but rather about finding this particular white wine close by. The grape it's made of is special to Hungary and has a unique taste which has grown on me and so far I was not able to find anything similar around here. With that said a Hungarian wine made from this grape variety (Cserszegi Fuszeres by Jasdi winery) has won overall in the wine tasting competition held at the WTO annual ski race. Too bad it's not available around here.

 Sziastok!

For what it's worth, Bortársaság does deliver EU-wide from its online store:

I'm sure that if you say 'legyen szives' nice enough, they might even consider shipping to CH ;-)
