Wine tavern (Buschenschank) or farmhouse inn (Hofschank)?

The main difference lies in the wine: the 'Buschenschank' is situated in a wine-growing area and offers its own wine. A 'Hofschank' is situated higher up, above the wine-growing area, offering its own farm-raised meat and serving good wines from down in the valley.

A 'Buschenschank' serves its own wine. A 'Hofschank' offers its own farm-raised meat
