If there is one wine country with a lot of history

If there is one wine country with a lot of history that does not get enough love for their wine of all different sorts it is Portugal. Hills, mountains, valleys, rivers are so dense that there are so many micro-climates and 200+ indigenous grapes and various blends combined with extreme good value. Fun fact: Portugal was founded as a country year 1143 making it almost 900 years old which is over 3 times as old as the United States or almost 5 times as old as Brazil. Important to know is that Portugal is so much more than port wine. In fact, it amounts to a tiny bit of overall consumption and dry wines are the prime focus.

In minho you drink Vinho verde! Vinho verde actually is not only white wine but there is red too. It is usually wine bottled 3-6 months after harvest and thus is "green" wine meaning its young. It often has a slight fizz for the white in a small malolactic fermentation in the bottle. #vinhoverde #albarino #alvarinho #braga #portugal #portuguesewine

Tío uco 2018 from @alvardedios , 90% Tempranillo and 10% garnacha. Bought from @decantalo. Verdict: lots of red fruits, mouthwatering acidity with softer tannins. Nice contrast to other Tempranillos but found the acidity a bit too much. 3/5! #torodo #toro #tiouco #vinodepueblo

Delivery from Spain. 24 bottles of mostly monastrell which is strangely called internationally by its French name Mourvedré although it is from Spain and over 80% of the production is in Spain. Now the weekend is saved!

Coming up soon is the Greek wine article. Such a fantastic country with not enough respect for its wine considering the quality you can find but also the over 4000 years history of winemaking

Normally would not buy wine at the supermarket but thought we would try the alcohol free, "Nosecco" from Angelo Taurini. It was definitely a step up from the previous German alcohol free riesling and cabernet sauvignon but there seems to be this strange weird taste potentially associated with the process removing the alcohol that doesn't sit right. Grade: 2.5/5 Have you tried any alcohol free wine that blew your socks off ? #alcoholfreewine #nosecco #prosecco #italianwine
