Wording of the document:
With their “Enjoyment Alliance”, the top German chefs and restaurateurs and WEINELF Germany want to convey to the public a perfect, enjoyment-oriented interplay between wine and WEINELF Germany gastronomy. This should be experienced bilaterally at future charity football games, but also in smaller individual events outside the football field.

Two success factors determine the cooperation between the two partners:
Excellent products of excellent quality and high professional expertise. The absolute focus on quality forms the basis of the work in the vineyard and in the wine cellar as well as in the kitchen and in the restaurant.
WEINELF Germany - Gourmet Alliance sealed at Vollrads Castle:
The opening game of the Genuss-Allianz took place last year in the Olympic Stadium in Munich, where a great friendly game was played on the “holy turf” four days before FC Bayern Munich's last home game on the occasion of the Munich Wine World 2005. The second leg was agreed for April of this year in Rheingau, which further demonstrated the friendship between both teams.
The presidents of the future partners Martin Öxle, representatives Stefan Rottner (national team of top German chefs and restaurateurs) and Norbert Heine (WEINELF Germany) signed the certificates at a celebration after the game. The celebration took place at Vollrads Castle, one of the oldest wineries in the world.
Many enjoyable friendships have been formed through football since 2005. I am very proud that I was able to help initiate this alliance!
