— The Cover Story

Budapest, where the ruins pour wine.

The ruin bars of District VIII have grown up. Where Szimpla once served warm Soproni in plastic cups, a new generation of cellar-temperature wine bars now pours Furmint and orange Olaszrizling beside the same upcycled chairs.

The neighbourhood looks the same. It does not taste the same. And it does not want to be your bachelor-party stop anymore.
