About

In the 19th century, production of Champagne-style sparkling wines became popular in Europe and rapidly spread across the continent. J. E. Hubert established the first Hungarian sparkling wine factory in Pozsony, Hungary (today Bratislava, Slovakia), in 1825, and by 1876, Littke was producing sparkling wine in Pécs. In 1882, a new sparkling-wine producing center emerged in Budafok, Hungary, under the name of József Törley and Co.
