How much do you know about Austria’s wine regions? Get to know Carnuntum, which spans terrirotry east from Vienna to the Slovak Republic border, through one of its wineries, Weingut Artner. Christoph Artner joined a Twitter chat, put together by Austrian Wine USA, to answer questions about the region and his family’s wines.
