Queen Victoria didn’t come for the church


Nice church the St Peter and Paul Church in Hochheim it is, though. Apparently, she came for the wine. And it’s not as bad as the story suggests – the English word “hock” for a cheap white wine apparently stems from that visit.

      1. The dictionaries I consulted all said “Rhine wine” or “white Rhine wine” without any value judgement but I learned the word as “cheap wine”. I admit I was wrong. Glas you liked yours (although it doesn’t seem to have come from the Rhine river area).
