German power metallers GRAVE DIGGER have launched their own wine via 666 Metal Wines. Comments GRAVE DIGGER guitarist Axel Ritt: "The local reference of the product is very important to the band. "All members within and around the band are epicures, which means we're all very much into the products we eat, drink and where it has been produced. "Organic is a good thing, but where is the ecological attempt, when the product has to be flown in from the other end of the globe? "When we got the topic wine for the first time on the list, we realized that German wines got a very good reputation, even worldwide. So the idea to manufacture the wine in foreign countries has been off the table very quickly."GRAVE DIGGER took a look around Germany and got in contact with winegrower Michael Schott. Together with his family, he's leading a small winery, which has a history of more than 50 years and is based pretty close to the band's headquarters. Schott's passion is not only about wines, but also in metal not just as a fan, but also as the singer of the band PROMINCE. In 2012, he combined both of his passions in the new winery, which goes by the name 666 Metal Wines. "A great album takes time, a great wine as well," says Schott. "We're not into quick shots and we're happy that the guys got the patience to wait."The 2011 Grave Digger edition is a great wine with a deep, dark color, awesome fragrance and an intensive flavor. The only drop of bitterness is the limited quantity of the first edition."For more information, visit Metal-Wines.com.
