Viña Maipo Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Saturday, June 7th, 2008My wino mate, Robert, opened a debate about whether bringing a supermarket branded wine showed good judgement, or embarrassed your dinner party hosts.
Most winos concluded that it shows good form to see through the label and judge the wine. In fact, spotting a bargain winissimo in sheep’s clothing is a big coup for a wine snob (assuming he can convince his friends that the wine is really worth much more than the actual price). I have a personal view here. I simply don’t care where the wine comes from, or the name on the label, or the price, but I am a sucker for packaging. On that measure I am not sure why I picked up this ugly bottle at Sainsbury for £6.99.
Stumble It!
