| Tokaj has been declared a World Heritage Site in 2002 under the name Tokaj Wine Region Historic Cultural Landscape. | WIKI |

| Some of the characteristics which make the Tokaj wine region unique are: | WIKI |
| Appellation system: A royal decree in 1757 established a closed production district in Tokaj, the world's second system of wine appellation (the first one was CHIANTI 1716). | WIKI |
| Historical records show that vineyards had been established in Tokaj as early as the 12th century, but there is evidence for the earlier introduction of wine production to the region. | WIKI |
| However, the rise of Tokaj as a major wine region can be dated to the early 16th Century. | WIKI |
| Tokaji wine became an increasingly important commodity for the region from the 17th century, its export being a major source of income for the ruling princes of Transylvania to which the Tokaj region belonged at the time. | WIKI |
| Indeed, revenues from the increasingly renowned Tokaji Aszxc3xba wine helped to pay for the wars of independence fought against Austrian Habsburg rule. | WIKI |
| The repute of Tokaji wine was enhanced when in 1703, Francis II Rxc3xa1kxc3xb3czi, prince of Transylvania, gave King Louis XIV of France a gift of numerous bottles of wine from his Tokaj estate. | WIKI |
| Tokaji wine was then served at the Versailles Court, where it became known under the name of Tokay. | WIKI |
| Delighted with the precious beverage, Louis XIV declared it "Vinum Regum, Rex Vinorum" ("Wine of Kings, King of Wines"). | WIKI |
| Both Poland and Russia had become major export markets for its wine. | WIKI |
| Such was the importance of Tokaji in Russia, that the Russian emperors maintained a de facto colony in Tokaj in order to guarantee the supply of wine to the Imperial Court. | WIKI |
| The partition of Poland in 1795 and subsequent imposition of customs duties dealt a severe blow to the exports of Tokaji wine and precipitated the economic decline of the region. | WIKI |
| The third shock was when Hungary lost two-thirds of its territory under the peace Treaty of Trianon signed in June 1920, and thus Tokaj wine lost access to the majority of its domestic market. | WIKI |
| The latter now forms part of an adjoining wine region in Slovakia with approximately 908 hectares of classified Tokaj vineyards. | WIKI |
| Slovak Tokaj wine region. | WIKI |
| Tokaj wine is, by its unique character, a luxurious commodity with a strong appeal to the international market. | WIKI |
| The dispute started in 1964 when, for the first time, the then Czechoslovakia exported its excessive production of Tokaj wine to Austria, the market that used to be solely supplied with this commodity by Hungary. | WIKI |
| The conflict of interests was settled in a bilateral agreement according to which Slovakia - at the expense of the Czech beer-related concession on Hungarian part - was only allowed to export its overproduction of Tokaj wine to Hungary (which consequently re-labeled and re-exported it). | WIKI |
| Under this agreement, wine produced on 5.65xc2xa0kmxc2xb2 of land in Slovakia is able to use the Tokaj name. | WIKI |
| However, the Slovak part did not observe their legally binding undertaking, which was to introduce the same standards enshrined in Hungarian wine laws since 1990. | WIKI |
| In February 2013, the EU Court of Justice has turned down the Hungarian appeal against an earlier ruling concerning Slovakia's registration of xe2x80x9cVinohradnxc3xadcka oblasxc5xa5 Tokajxe2x80x9d (Tokaj Wine Region), which contains the name of Hungary's Tokaj region. | WIKI |
| Therefore, wine producers from both the Hungarian Tokaj region and the Slovak Tokaj region may use the Tokaj brand name. | WIKI |

| Located at the foothills of the Zemplxc3xa9n Mountains (in North-East Hungary), along the Bodrog river and at the confluence of the Bodrog and the Tisza Rivers, the Tokaj Wine Region Historic Cultural Landscape was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2002. | UNESCO |
| The entire landscape, its organisation and its character are specially shaped in interaction with the millennial and still living tradition of wine production. | UNESCO |
| Documented history of the wine region since 1561 attests that grape cultivation as well as the making of the xe2x80x98aszxc3xbaxe2x80x99 wine has been permanent for centuries in the area surrounded by the three Sxc3xa1tor-hegy (the Tokaj-hill, the Sxc3xa1tor xe2x80x93 hill of Abaxc3xbajszxc3xa1ntxc3xb3, and the Sxc3xa1tor-hill of Sxc3xa1toraljaxc3xbajhely). | UNESCO |
| The legal base of delimitation of the wine region is among the first in the world and dates back to 1737 when the decree of Emperor Charles VI (Charles III, King of Hungary) established the area as a closed wine region. | UNESCO |
| The unique combination of topographic, environmental and climatic conditions of the Tokaj Wine Region, with its volcanic slopes, wetlands creating a special microclimate that favours the apparition of the xe2x80x9cnoble rotexe2x80x9d (Botrytis cinerea), as well as the surrounding oak-woods have long been recognized as outstandingly favourable for grape cultivation and specialized wine production. | UNESCO |
| All these features have enabled the development of vineyards, farms, villages, small towns and historic networks of wine cellars carved by hand into mostly volcanic rocks, which are the most characteristic structures in Tokaj: that of King Kalman in Tarcal is known to have been in existence as early as 1110. | UNESCO |
| The socio-cultural, ethnic and religious diversity of the inhabitants, together with the special fame of the Tokaji Aszxc3xba Wine has contributed to the rich and diverse cultural heritage of the region. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (iii): The Tokaj wine region represents a distinct viticultural tradition that has existed for at least a thousand years and which has survived intact up to the present. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (v): The entire landscape of the Tokaj wine region, including both vineyards and long established settlements, vividly illustrates the specialized form of traditional land use that it represents. | UNESCO |
| These include environmental conditions (geology, morphology, hydrology and climate) favourable for specialized vine- growing, historic vineyards /terroirs, long established settlements and their network, rich cultural heritage reflecting ethnic diversity, diverse types of cellars and a great diversity of other buildings contributing to the character of the landscape and related to vine-growing and wine production (e.g. | UNESCO |
| Wine has been produced in the Tokaj region and vineyards have been worked here for more than 1000 years. | UNESCO |
| The overall aim of the management is to maintain and enhance the environmental, social as well as economic conditions for viticulture, wine production and related sectors that have always been the economic engines of the region. | UNESCO |
