One winemaker in southern Germany has succeeded in producing a small, but precious, quantity of ice wine after an unseasonably mild winter ruined the rest of the country's harvest.
Years of milder temperatures have made German ice wine, produced since 1830, increasingly rare and expensive. This year, the industry body says, there will be only a few bottles.
A warm winter means that, for apparently the first time in the history of German winemaking, the country's fabled vineyards will produce no ice wine - a pricey, golden nectar made from grapes that have been left to freeze on the vine.
