Similarly to the wine regions Eger and Tokaj wine is stored here in - sometimes huge - cellars hollowed in rhyolite-tuff. Some of the walls and columns are decorated by the precious works of peasant stonecutters The famous wine of Miskolc was aged in cellars covered with thick mould. On the hill Avas, which is altogether 100 metres high, once there used to be rich vineyards. On its slopes more than a thousand cellars were hollowed. From the 19th century champagne-basis-wines have been produced here as well.
