Egri Bikaver is Hungarian for ... Bull's Blood ;-)

All the above is correct except the "Hungary and Romania" part ;-)
I don't know of such a wine in Romania!
I've drink it at the Taverna (uca Vaci) but never in Romania.
But hey, I am not a specialist (although I have about 60 bottles of pre-1960
wines) so maybe a Romanian friend could help us here.
