Apfelwein Strategies

When drinking apfelwein, you can easily spot the Frankfurters: they're the ones with their personal ornate silver covers on their glasses. The covers were originally designed to keep insects out of the wine, but now they seem mostly for show.

I put a coaster on top of my glass, but it seemed unnecessary. It was a hot day and I drank the apfelwein before any insects had a chance.
