Christmas tree from Lower Austria in Brussels

Impressive ceremony in the EU Parliament with wines from Winzer Krems.

A wonderful tradition was continued at the Christmas reception in the EU Parliament in Brussels – for almost 27 years, the Christmas tree has been coming from Lower Austria. This year again, the tree arrived in Brussels in an environmentally friendly manner by ÖBB night train. WINZER KREMS wines were also present at the event for the first time! The President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, also took part in the ceremony and a delegation from Lower Austria, led by EU-deputy Alexander Bernhuber and Deputy Governor Stephan Pernkopf, traveled to Brussels for the festive handover.
