Voros Bor, Por Favor
February 17th, 2007 | Posted by Shannon
The other night, I was in the Vine and started talking to one of the other regulars about my upcoming trip to Berlin.
“Know any German yet?” He asked.
“Entshuldigung Zie! Bitte! Guten Tag! Weiss Wine! Rot Wein! Uh… uh….” I tried to remember something else. How are you… how are you… vie… vie… “uh… uh…”
“Rot Wein. That’s a good one to know.” Whew.
It is a good one to know, and I have been meaning to put together this list for some time. It’s a work in progress, so feel free to comment if you have anything to add. I, for one, am dying to know how to say red wine in Polish, just in case.

vino tinto – Spanish
vin rouge – French
voros bor – Magyar (Hungarian)

As for any more, uh… uh….
