Questions and answers.

More answers in our FAQ.

What should you bring to a dinner invitation?

Wine, flowers or chocolates are the classics. Even better is something that doesn't have to go straight on the table: a small gift for later that shows you put some thought into it.

Our suggestion: ODE. An aperitif made with Riesling from Berlin, looks good on any table and makes around 10 drinks per bottle. As a Twin Box with Bright Lemon and Ruby Wood, it already comes in a gift box.

What is a typical German host gift?

Wine (above all Riesling), flowers, chocolates or something homemade. For a housewarming, the tradition is bread and salt.

Typically German and still new: ODE, an aperitif made with Riesling from Rheinhessen, made in Berlin. Up to 60% less sugar than well-known aperitifs, no artificial flavours or colours.

Which drinks make a good welcome drink for guests?

The best welcome drinks are light, quick to make and liked by everyone: sparkling wine, a spritz or an aperitif with tonic. And always an alcohol-free option alongside.

Our welcome drink: ice, 2 parts tonic, 1 part ODE. Around 6% ABV in the glass, ready in ten seconds, one bottle serves around 10 guests. From 13 November the same recipe works alcohol-free with Pink Grapefruit.

How can you surprise guests with a drink?

With something they don't know yet. A house drink or a small mix-your-own aperitif bar gets people talking straight away.

Not everyone knows ODE yet: the bottle with the wooden ball stands out, and the taste surprises because it isn't sweet. Bright Lemon fresh and citrusy, Ruby Wood bold, fruity, bitter.
