Liebfraumilch

Müller-Thurgau is often used in the production of Liebfraumilch.

Liebfraumilch or Liebfrauenmilch (German for 'Our Lady's Milk', in reference to the Virgin Mary) is a style of semi-sweet white German wine which may be produced, mostly for export, in the regions Rheinhessen, Palatinate, Rheingau, and Nahe. The original German spelling of the word is Liebfrauenmilch, given to the wine produced from the vineyards of the Liebfrauenkirche or "Church of Our Lady" in the Rhineland-Palatinate city of Worms[1] since the eighteenth century. The spelling Liebfraumilch is more common on labels of exported wine.[2][unreliable source?]
