where to buy wine

There are bodegas around but you will find it hard to beat the selection at your local Aldi/Lidl/Carrefour.

The latter are particularly good - currently they have a nice Pingus tinto 2017 @ €1190.00 a 75cl bottle......

I think you might need to go back and edit the price of the wine.

😂😂😂😂😂

Why?

Eeeeek

I thought you had made a typo !!

I bet they have a big security tag on that one.

think this is out of my budget, by about one euro.

We are lucky that in Spain we can buy a very drinkable wine for around €3 a bottle - say a young Rioja? If you are entertaining wine snobs you could test them by decanting the bottle a few hours before serving to get air into it. Very few people can really tell. I had an extremely rich brother-in-law who was happy to share his wealth by serving £300 a bottle wine when I dined there but he occassionally slipped in a bottle of plonk to see if it was spotted....it rarely was!

Such a bargain!

Getting two boxes; would go with the rabbit €6,50 per kilogram?

I came to live in Spain 5 years ago and find the wines very limited, all are Spanish of varying qualities. Before arriving in Spain I lived in France for many years, the supermarkets there had not only French wine but a vast selection of international wines, including Spanish. I really miss a good Minerva or Fitou, never found here in Spain.

You are so right, decant over night makes such a difference.

A few years ago we were on a 24 day cruise when all the reasonable wines sold out very early on we with our table guests decided to pay the corkage and purchase wines on land.

We got some very good wines and the wine waiter served them to us and looked after them.  I remember two not be name but because of the events. The first was purchased as a Pink Champagne purchased in the Ukraine, it turned out to be red and it was a very nice wine if it was seen on a shelf I would buy on the chance it would be as nice. The second was the opposite a very cheap red purchased in a port in Italy from a small shop.  On first tasting it was rubbish, undrinkable, the wine waiter said leave it with him, the next night after 24 hours in the right conditions.

Our table guests the we purchased the wine with had considerable money, compared to us, they agreed this wine was very drinkable.

So I must agree with you Peter price and drink-ability, if you want to spend money on wine you go for it, but you do not have to spend to get a very drinkable wine.
