Mosel; Moselle
[MOH-zuhl; moh-ZELL]
A famous river that winds through one of Germany's important ANBAUGEBIETE (qualitywine regions), MOSEL-SAAR-RUWER. The river actually starts in eastern France's Vosges Mountains, flows along the Luxembourg border into western Germany, and finally joins the Rhine River in western Germany at the city of Koblenz. There are vineyards along the river in France and Luxembourg, but wines from the German vineyards are the most widely recognized. Mosel is the German spelling; Moselle is the English and French spelling.
