BUDAPEST 198 🍷 Semi 1 | RESULTS TONIGHT 21:30CEST

​

Welcome to the Grand Tasting of Uniqueness
— straight from the bittersweet heart of Hungary
​

Darlings, gather ‘round the table, because tonight we’re not just serving songs, we’re serving heritage, fantasy and full-bodied excellence, bottled and aged to perfection. That’s right, we’ve uncorked 59 vintages of pure Unicum, each lovingly spiced with local flavor and dripping in some quintessential je ne sais quoi. Is it herbal? Is it homoerotic? Is it Hungarian? Babe, it’s all of the above.

In this Unicum Realness edition, we’re raising a glass (or a shot, let’s be real) to the divine power of uniqueness. Just like the iconic digestif that inspired our banners, every entry this round is complex, mysterious, and maybe just a little bit bitter. But oh, how it so gorgeously lingers on the tongue.

They say Unicum is an acquired taste. Well, so are most of us. And in this house? That’s a compliment.

So whether you're Buda or Pest, whether you're here to sip slowly or throw back the whole bottle in one go, just know that you're in for a Hungarian night to remember (that hopefully doesn't end on the bottom of the Danube). So now, with no further ado, let’s reveal the lineup that’s about to ferment into real Magyar excellence...

Presenting: The Official Unicum Entry Bottles

We are aware of the banner issue with Tajikistan, will be fixed tomorrow or something, check the ferret show for the name if your OCD can't handle it.

 

[DonHamstre]

Love the show so much nice detail in relativity small labels really gives the right vibe!
Now let's hope we will have brain cells left after consuming these 29 liquors.

 

[Looren]

Woah this is a beautiful show

 

[EurovisionSmile]

Lovely show!

 

[chontono]

Such a stunning atmosphere, congratulations

 

[Gera11]

My parents still have a bottle like this from their wedding, made of wood instead of glass. I always thought it used to contain palinka.

Bless this show

Yeah this is the same song. Don't worry about not seeing the vid, as there is none, like the original is just a big ass bonfire with nothing happening so you're not missing out on visuals if that matters to you.

unicummed.

Great show, great songs.

I could've voted for at least 5 more.
We like our mysterious, blue Istanbul drink (IstanBlue?). Also, Okyanus means ''ocean'' in Turkish so the whole blue vibe is very fitting.

 

[lavieenrose]

Madeira has voted! I had a really hard time ordering my top 4 so now ofc the way I've done it is going to screw at least one of them out of the final

I'm a tad sozzled from all of these beautiful drinks but I've managed to vote in both semis. It's amazing having so many people playing again (including so many iconic returnees) but with that also comes the inevitable curse that 29 song semis bring, which is having to leave multiple worthy songs without points. There was too much good stuff.


The shows are wonderful, Team Hungary Love the attention to detail in each of our bottles. The little flags in the bottlenecks are especially a nice touch.

Reminds me of the days of logging on drunk to the forum at 4am back in 2015. Those were the days.

We Hungarians can hold our liquor. Empty glasses are therefore strictly forbidden. I see some empty glasses right there, if you refuse to see it filled up we're kicking you out on the kerb.
