A famous legend gives this wine the name of "Wine of the Wedding Night." The legend says that if the newlyweds drink Somlo during their wedding night and do not fall asleep after the last guest has left, they will likely conceive a son. The Hapsburgs Imperial family who previously reigned over several European countries are credited with this story. Specifically, Maria Theresa of Austria is said to have ordered her son to drink this beverage to continue the family line.
