Mi a "kékfrankos vörösbor" angol megfelelője?

Blue Frankish or Blue-Frankish
Explanation:
Blue Frankish is the official English name for the grape that the wine is made of. The same name can be used for the wine.

"Lemberger" is usually used for the "Blaufränkish" wine produced particularly in Austria.

Since the translation is HU - ENG, I assume that this would relate to the wine produced in Hungary and not in Austria. It certainly depends on the context. If it refers to the Hungarian wine, I would use "Blue Frankish".

Lemberger /Limberger /Blaufrankisch


Explanation:
Called Lemberger in many parts of the U.S. (so that it is not associated with the Limberger cheese), this grape is known as Limberger in Germany, Blaufränkisch in Austria, and Kékfrankos in Hungary.

agree  juvera: A Blaufrankisch az angol nyelvterületeken jobban ismert név, de a kékfrankos sem teljesen idegen. Fordításban meghagynám a kékfrankost, zárójelben a Blaufrankisch, Lemberger hozzáadásával.
