Vinegars Gegenbauer - Wiener Essig Brauerei

Pure handicrafts of Gegenbauer

The acidic success story began in Viennas favorites. At 14, still more drinking inexperienced, a bottle of wine for a long time had stopped half full at Erwin Gegenbauer once. Lo and behold: Certainly plenty unharmonious, but impressively clear the once good wine now tasted like an ordinary vinegar. But it was a start.

As a junior boss of the family own cannery, which was founded in 1929 by his grandfather Ignaz Gegenbauer, wanted Erwin Gegenbauer, which is privately blessed with a great passion for enjoyment, do not accept the loss of quality due to depressed prices. Without further ado sold Erwin Gegenbauer parental cannery and put the first step towards the highest quality.

The breakthrough earned him one of the buyers at the Naschmarkt. He passed one day and presented the baffled Gegenbauer a recipe, to which he had used the vinegar. That was the turning point. Simultaneously, the perfectionist was awake in him. His vinegar had to be the best!

Today, the Austrian who like to modestly describes itself as the smallest vinegar brewer in the world and yet should actually call vinegar researchers, Mr about 70 vinegars and also has more enjoyment branches constructed. Since 2006, three varieties Gegenbauer coffee sold in small layers of a Triester importer freshly roasted and served in renowned venues such as the Vienna Steirereck am Naschmarkt. Amateur and professional chefs love all his creations, be it rare roasted grains, elegant fruit juices or of course the various oils and vinegars. An enormous range for connoisseurs!
