Yes, I read about that when I was in the capital (of Hessen) earlier this week. We do indeed have äppelvin in Sweden, and many more "wines". From Hessen I brough back one bottle of Eiswein, one Spätlese and one Auslese, so there will be some Rheinisch Prädikats-induced sweet happiness here in the presidential family in the future.
