A bunch of Balaton winemakers on a Polynesian sailing boat?

The Balaton Circle managed to hit two birds with one stone: by serving free spritzers to lakeside loungers from a proa sailing boat, they spread the word about Balaton wines and at the same time showcased this ancient Polynesian boat, which roughly costs as much as a surfboard.
