Royalty brings together two of my favourite past-times - Wine & Denmark

Denmark.dk reports: 12 July 2005 'Our Mary' opening our eyes to Aussie wines. Crown Princess Mary's Australian roots have Danes discovering the wines of her homeland

For years, Denmark has enjoyed the wines produced at French-born Royal Consort Prince Henrik's chateau in southern France. Now, a new member of the Danish royal family has subjects enjoying the fruits of another continent's vines. 'Our Mary', as Crown Princess Mary is now known in her native Australia, has Danes discovering wine from the island continent. Wine from Mary's home island of Tasmania has especially piqued the palates of many of the kingdom's wine connoisseurs. more from

It is no surprise that Danes would fall not only for 'Our Mary' but the quality cool climate wines of Tasmania. The cheeses and creams will be next and watch out for the herrings coming south. (Blogger's confession - my father is Tasmanian and my partner is Danish).
