In Mukachevo even the Chimney-sweep drinks red wine (PHOTOS)

The city over Latorica is in the midst of the traditional wine festival. Here, they are expecting thousands of tourists, and over fifty wineries present their products.

Since the early morning people have been standing in the line to the tent of known Uzhgorod master Oleksandr Kovacs to taste his white mulled wine. The novelty has extraordinary and unique taste. The secret is in the blending of white wines, honey and special spices.

Mulled wine is especially popular, because the weather is really cold. Sculptor Ivan Brovdi always visits this festival. "People need holidays, especially, wine festival" - says the artist, emphasizing: "Red wine" has already become a symbol of Mukachevo.

And, probably, it is no less important than the sculptural symbol - the famous Mukachevo Chimney-sweep. For several years, this monument have been watching festival activities - it is located in its very heart. And today the festival was visited by its living prototype - a favorite of all Mukachevo residents, Bertalon, the chimney-sweep. He drank a glass of red wine with the sculptor and wished all Transcarpathians and tourists to have a fun holiday. 

And the festival has all the prerequisites for success - a favorable date and weather for ski season. Everything indicates that many tourists will be attracted to the festival in Mukachevo, which, by the way, will last through January 14.
