When the Young Wine Blossoms (German: Wenn der junge Wein blüht) is a 1943 German comedy film directed by Fritz Kirchhoff and starring Henny Porten, Otto Gebühr and René Deltgen.[1] It was based on a play by the Norwegian writer Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson which had previously been adapted into a 1927 German silent film of the same title.

The film's sets were designed by the art directors Franz Bi and Bruno Lutz. It was shot in various locations across Germany including the Seddiner See and the city of Hamburg.
