If you like very crisp (high acidity) champagne then this West Sussex Wine have imported a wine maker from Champagne and created this English Sparkling with an even classical split of Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blend. The estate itself is close to Brighton and does visits which sounds like a perfect weekend! This Brut Non-vintage goes for around £25. This will be added to our upcoming wine recommendation list. @wistonestate @britishsparklingwine #britishsparklingwine #wiston #sussex #sparklingwine #champagne #pinot #wiston

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
