history
Falstaff was founded in 1980 as a wine journal. The founding editors Hans Dibold and Helmut Romé campaigned for Austrian red wine in the first few years as part of the Falstaff Red Wine Prize, which was launched in the founding year, in order to promote its quality. The Falstaff editors rated the wines according to the international 100-point system and made the Falstaff points the benchmark in the Austrian wine world. In 2009 Wolfgang Rosam increased his shares in Falstaff Verlag from 25 to 100 percent.
In 2010 there was a relaunch , the magazine got a new layout and at the same time a web portal was introduced with www.falstaff.at.
In September of the same year the first German edition of the Falstaff Verlag appeared. In 2013 the first Falstaff LIVING was published, edited by Angelika Rosam. The first Falstaff Switzerland edition was published in 2014. Titles like Man's World or Falstaff Karriere (later Falstaff Profi ) were added. The first cookbook from the Falstaff Edition was published in 2015 and the Falstaff recipe magazine was published in 2018.
