Yeah, Ozzie and NZ are 2 more new-world wine countries and are superb! Jacob's Creek is the commercial one but they have many better. I prefer NZ wines. Jackson's Estate, grown in Marlborough, is superb! Villa Maria too :) :)
Yellow tail? It sounds more like a type of sushi, Pete :) If it's a kind of wine, I can hunt it down. As the thread title suggests, it isn't always easy to find but there are some good places here.
Most wines in Polish shops contain "siarczyna" (it says so in a font as small you need a microscope), presumably some kind of sulphur compound. I was told it speeds up the fermentation process from several years to about five days or less. Sounds really healthy, not, but that's my price range: about zł15,- per bottle max. Better to invest in a couple of 54L 'dymiony' and brew your own. Apart from the initial expense of buying the equipment, you'll get good healthy wine at a fraction of the cost in shops, and you know what's in it.
I tend to go 30PLN and upwards but I've tasted a decent one for just over 20PLN. A 30PLN wine is like a wine for 8 pounds so you should get sth decent for that!
It's not "most wines in Polish shops". The shops or country in which they are located have nothing to do with it. All the cheap Italian and Spanish wines I see in my local shops here in London contain the same compound(s) - sulphites if I remember right.
That doesn't change the fact that most wines in Polish shops contain sulphites, regardless of what is the case in other countries. Geez, remind me not to watch a Polish moot ;) ;)
Geez, bimber. What you said wasn't wrong. The wines in Polish shops tend to be full of sulphites, that wasn't wrong. Oh, not only Poland has the bad stuff? Classic deflection. The Poles are SOOOOOO boring when it comes to this. Wine is international and it's not a bad reflection on Poland that wines in shops here have sulphites as it's widespread.
Seanus, I'd say that buying Carlo Rossi you know what to expect, the wine is worth the price and safe choice; but it is at the same time nothing you canbe surprised of and why not try somethig thrilling;)
I'd take responsibility over these: Casillero del Diablo Trapiche Gato /Gato nero
, all three are from the New World if I recall correctly. But you prefer softer rather than "bloody dry" ones? Than Carlo Rossi fits. I am always looking for dry, maybehere's the difference in choice...
In Most of places (careffour example)
- maybe go to a proper wine shop, you can touch the bottles and get expertise on most of them. After you create your fav. selection, it'l be easier to pick up the ones you want in a supermarket.
Tempranillo is a fine grape and, actually, is used in a lot of Chilean wine. Read up on it! It was sth of a prototype grape that never fully realised its potential.
Good stuff! 37PLN is not too steep for a good drop. 10 pounds in the UK got me sth good 10 years ago but I reckon 13 quid for the same bottle now. Biedronka and wine, that made me laugh. Still, they've came out with some good NZ whites before, approved even by a Kiwi wine enthusiast who worked here so that can't be bad.
