Summary
About the place: Březí (historically known as Bratelsbrunn) is a wine-growing municipality in Břeclav District, South Moravian Region, situated in the fertile lowlands of the Mikulov area near the Austrian border.

Flag Description: Quartered sheet with a 2:3 aspect ratio; the upper hoist field is red, the lower fly field is green, and the upper fly and lower hoist fields are white masoned.
Symbolism: The flag design directly derives from the municipal coat of arms granted in 1998, whose primary charge is a silver masoned well serving as a canting element referencing the historic German place name Bratelsbrunn (from German Brunnen, meaning well or spring). The white masoned quarters symbolize the stonework of the well, the red field reflects the shield's tincture, and the green field (taken from the shield's green border) represents local viticulture, agriculture, and the fertile countryside of South Moravia.
