Pop A Cork - Wine [443]
When guests come to an important celebration, you usually need to put some alcohol on the table, e.g. red wine with dinner. You can, of course, buy some expensive ones in a specialized store, but let's consider whether you can put something unusual on the table at a cheap price. Believe me, you can, and here the Spanish Gran Reserva comes to mind. For example, in Lidl opposite, I can currently buy a Carinena Monte Plogar Gran Reserva from 2017 for less than 3 Euro. And this is for wine that has matured for at least 5 years in oak barrels. Moreover, it can continue to mature in a bottle at home for 10 years or more, as long as it is kept in a cool and dark place. In a word, for an important celebration, let's say in 2035, I could put on the table an exclusive wine from 2017 that once cost me less than 3 Euro. Isn't this great. And on top of that, it's a truly classic wine that you don't have to be ashamed of. Closed with a real cork, not a metal cap, and braided with gold wire. You can't get more for so little money and this applies to virtually all Spanish Gran Reserva. Well, enjoy the tasting in 11 years (or even today).
