Wine: Convenience Matters

Wine: Convenience Matters - the next chapter

Various types and styles of wines are widely available in these modern times. Red, white, rosé, sparkling, dry, medium, sweet, are just some of the choices to be considered when selecting wine. Organic wines suitable for vegetarians and vegans are further options available. Chile produces splendid wines, and I found the Chilean Valle wines to be excellent. Valle De Casablanca Reserva Chardonnay is a white wine pleaser for many occasions. The climate of the Casablanca Valley has cooling breezes, creating perfect conditions for the growing of grapes. This Chardonnay flavour is fresh, with the mouthfeel and palate appreciating a good, balanced production. It pairs perfectly with salmon and other fish dishes, as well as chicken and white meats. Valle De Leyda Reserva Sauvignon Blanc is another white wine which is extremely popular. This is a bright, refreshing wine, tending towards floral in style and a wonderful accompaniment to salads and seafood. Staying with Valle De Leyda, Reserva Pinot Noir is very popular with red wine lovers. Juicy red fruits on the nose lead enticingly to the mouth’s pleasures, for this smooth, powerful production. It accompanies tuna fish and red meat dishes, particularly well. Valle Del Maule Reserva Merlot is another often-selected, red wine. The Merlot grape produces exceptionally good wines, which are full and rich; powerful and fabulous with numerous dishes,

including casseroles and red meats. Vine & Bloom offers Pinot Grigio (Italy) vegan wine. Described as ‘crisp and appley’, I found this production refreshing and pleasantly light. An excellent white wine to accompany a lot of cuisine. Vine & Bloom Merlot (Italy) vegan wine is described as ‘smooth and juicy’, again, an accurate description with which I agree. Dark fruits, on the nose and mouthfeel, continue through to the palate’s sensation and enjoyment; a smooth and very popular red wine, to pair with numerous dishes. Other vegan wine productions are also available. I located these wines at a Spar store. Founded during 1932, Spar now has shops in over 40 countries. Spar convenience stores stock numerous items, for everyday needs, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to suit all tastes and palates. www.spar.co.uk/wine www.spar.co.uk As always, Enjoy!
