{{jpg-image}} '''Tokay''' refers to a variety of entities, most notably a wine and a gecko, each distinct in their respective fields. This article will focus on the wine aspect, with a brief mention of the gecko for clarity.

==Tokay Wine==
[[Tokay wine]], also known as Tokaji or Tokaj, is a type of [[wine]] produced in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region of [[Hungary]]. This region is renowned for its sweet wines made from grapes affected by noble rot, a condition that occurs when the fungus ''Botrytis cinerea'' partially dries the grapes, resulting in a higher concentration of sugars and flavors. The most famous of these wines is Tokaji Aszú, celebrated for its richness and complexity.

===History===
The history of Tokay wine dates back to the 17th century, making it one of the oldest documented wines in the world. It gained prominence when it became a favorite in the French Court, particularly under the reign of Louis XIV, who famously called it "the wine of kings and the king of wines."

===Production===
The production of Tokay wine involves a meticulous process where the aszú grapes (grapes affected by noble rot) are hand-picked and then macerated in a base wine or fermenting must. The ratio of aszú grapes to the base wine determines the sweetness level of the final product, which is denoted by puttonyos, a traditional measure ranging from three to six in modern classifications, with six being the sweetest.

===Varieties===
Apart from Tokaji Aszú, the Tokaj region also produces several other wine varieties, including:
* [[Tokaji Furmint]]: A dry wine made from the Furmint grape, offering a crisp acidity balanced with mineral notes.
* [[Tokaji Hárslevelű]]: Another dry variety, made from the Hárslevelű grape, known for its aromatic profile.
* [[Tokaji Szamorodni]]: A wine that can be either dry or sweet, made from grapes that are not exclusively affected by noble rot.

==Tokay Gecko==
The [[Tokay Gecko]] (''Gekko gecko'') is a large nocturnal gecko native to Asia and some Pacific Islands. Known for its distinctive blue-grey color and orange spots, it is often mentioned in the context of traditional medicine. However, it is not related to Tokay wine, aside from sharing a similar name.
