Yesterday, Jancis Robinson reported on her website that the Mosel bridge protest has moved to Berlin. She was joined by fellow British wine writer Hugh Johnson and a couple well-known producers from the Mosel wine region, including Katharina Prüm of Joh. Jos. Prüm, as well as other protesters and Green Party members.

For some additional news and background information on this controversial project to build a massive four-lane highway bridge spanning the heart of the Mosel Valley between Zeltingen and Ürzig, see article. Even Eric Asimov, wine critic for the The New York Times, wrote a post last month covering his dismay over the long-lasting plans to build this bridge.

It’s possible to write Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel your concerns (now in English) about it. If you know German, the Deutscher Bundestag website has an on-line petition to protest the building of the bridge. It just requires registering and signing and only takes a few minutes.
