Martin Bukovics

More than anything else, Martin Bukovics is interested in the wines and politics of Central Europe and the Balkans. He regularly travels, makes interviews, tastes and writes about these in his newsletter Gemišt, which he has launched with other renowned authors. He occasionally publishes at Pécsi Borozó as well. He studied international wine business at the Hochschule Geisenheim University in Germany, was for many years editor of the now defunct wine column of the conservative news portal Mandiner, and was co-founder and co-editor-in-chief of the defunct liberal news portal Azonnali. At Azonnali, he offered readers exciting and affordable wines week by week in his column Wine of the Week. He occasionally writes for the Berlin daily Die Welt – about politics, not wine. He lives in Prague, previously he had lived in Wiesbaden, Florence and Budapest. He has a small vineyard in Hosszúhetény in the Pécs wine region, where he planted 500 vine-plants of Olaszrizling (clones from Austria, Serbia and Pécs) in 2020, in addition to the 200 plants of Zweigelt he had there.
