The biddies return to Austria for the last segment of this first passport tour. Austria shares some similar labeling laws to Germany but even with more restrictions due to a scandal in the 1980s. The biddies also explore some non-French European grapes including Gruner Veltliner, Welschriesling, and Zweigelt. The biddies bid adieu to the passport tour for now but Austria doesn’t disappoint for the final episode.
