...become hot sellers at some wine stores--if you can find them in stock. The German government doesn't fund wine promotion, putting vintners at a major competitive disadvantage in the quest for shelf space. The wineries are tiny, family-owned affairs, a circumstance that does plenty for the charm factor but little for the marketing budget. For Rieslings that do make their way to wine merchants, the customer can find another obstacle: deciphering the label.
