The reference to the uniform quality of tokaji wines is only true in a relative sense, if at all. Some terrible stuff is still produced there too. The difference is that bad tokaji doesn't travel, not even to Budapest (Russia is an exception), whereas bad bull's blood is all over Europe, tarnishing the reputation of the outstanding bikavérs. varbal 22:36, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I've given it a serious copyedit to Start standard, but I've done no fact checking or referencing, which it badly needs. I hope our Hungarian friends don't mind me using the standard en:Wikipedia names for the grapes. The last section is a bit woolly, but better than it was. Could do with a bit more on the development of the blend, especially wrt Blaufrankisch I feel.

• In particular I have one query about "Kekmedoc". The original authors seem to distinguish between Kekmedoc and Merlot, whereas I thought Medoc Noir = Merlot. So I've written it that way; if someone can prove otherwise, lets see the reference.
• This article could also do with pictures
• And a list of major producers

I've also done Start articles on Blauburger and Fritz Zweigelt, which we were missing FlagSteward 13:38, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
