Egri Bikavér was my first Hungarian wine, cheap and cheerful
Tokaji Aszú at number one, of course. The wine of kings, king of wines.
Dry Furmint is the hidden gem here, people only know the sweet stuff
Villány reds are seriously good value, highly recommend
Kadarka should be higher, it's making a comeback
