#wine #winereview Casillero del Diablo BeLight Chilean Sauvignon Blanc has just 8.5% alcohol and 65 calories per serving. But those early harvesting of grapes leaves a mouth wateringness it's hard to ignore. £7.25 Tesco, £7.50 Sainsbury's 3* rating www.wineuncorked.co.uk/wine-reviews...

#wine #winereview Asda's Nice Drop Pinotage has only gone up 36p in the two years since the last review, and it's lost that intense smoky flavour 3* £4.25 www.wineuncorked.co.uk/wine-reviews...

Why do we “toast” to celebrations? Because the ancient Romans literally dropped toasted bread into wine to soften the acidity. A soggy tradition turned into a spirited salute! 🥂 #WordNerds

#winereview Aldi's Chilean Merlot at just £4.15 is really, really cheap and really, really, okay - just about. If this was the 1990s then it'd be £3.99. It still only gets 3* rating. www.wineuncorked.co.uk/wine-reviews...

#winereview Asda's Le Manoir du Baron Viognier 2022 may sound like a wine from the 1970s but at just £4.94 it not only tastes great right now but gets a 4* rating out of 5 on wineuncorked.co.uk www.wineuncorked.co.uk/wine-reviews...

Only 1 day to Christmas in my mini advent calendar, and I had to end on a gate! Standing here felt like peeping into a fairytale. I got very snowy, but every branch glittered, every tree shone, and I hardly dared breathe for fear of breaking the spell. Happy Christmas Eve!

Daily life in the Roman Empire. The transport of two (wine?) barrels on a four wheeled chariot pulled by two oxen. A dog is sitting on the barrels. Found in Augsburg (Augusta Vindelicum), dating early 3rd century AD.

Satirical Spanish postcard from 1916 on wine adulteration. Wine made from cat & donkey blood, powdered alcohol, water, toxic aniline and campeche to color the wine. From Aaron Nix-Gomez' great Hogsheadwine blog hogsheadwine.wordpress.com/2014/09/10/s...
