The name "Bull's Blood" originates from a legend associated with the Siege of Eger in the 16th century. According to the legend, the defenders of Eger drank red wine to boost their strength and courage during the battle. The sight of the warriors with red-stained beards and mustaches led the attackers to believe that the defenders were drinking bull's blood to gain supernatural powers. In reality, the red wine they were consuming was likely a robust red blend.
