About the Bad Hönningen juice manufactory
Bad Hönninger Fruchtsäfte und Weine GmbH was founded in 1918 as a juice manufactory and is now run in its third generation by Birgit Becker-Rösler. The winery/press house in Bad Hönningen on the Rhine produces more than 50 juice and nectar specialties, including 25 direct juices, many of them in officially controlled organic quality. Fresh fruit and vegetables from the region are processed, such as apples, pears, grapes, carrots, beetroot and sauerkraut, as well as high-quality concentrates of citrus and tropical fruits such as orange, pineapple, mango and passion fruit. In addition to its own brands (Bad Hönninger, Pauly Rath), the company offers contract bottling of clear and naturally cloudy fruit juices – from analysis and recipe development through to packaging and delivery under the customer's name. The range also includes selected wines from the Middle Rhine, the Palatinate and Rheinhessen as well as Riesling and Cuvée sparkling wines with own labels. Customers are the specialized retail trade and the hospitality sector. For its product quality, the company received the DLG award for long-standing product quality for the 30th time in 2024.
