The Liebfrauenmilch is a Riesling wine with a fine bouquet. It owes its celebrity rather to its name than its merits. It comes from the vineyards adjoining the Liebfrauen Kirche near Worms, and was named by some pious churchman.
No wines have as many poetical tributes as the Rhine wines. One of the English poets sings:—
"O for a kingdom rocky-throned,
Above the brimming Rhine,
With vassals who should pay their toll
In many sorts of wine.
Above me naught but the blue air,
And all below, the vine,
I'd plant my throne, where legends say
In nights of harvest-time
