They can be produced in many wine regions around the world, notably in France (Sauternes), Hungary (Tokaji) and even in South Africa. Production methods generally include drying the grapes before fermentation or stopping fermentation to achieve a sugar content above 50g\/L.

The aszú berries are harvested \u003cstrong\u003eberry by berry\u003c\/strong\u003e in successive pickings, which represents a colossal amount of work in the vineyards.
