Let’s have a little fun today. Yes ! I did it, I tasted this wine that I saw many time over the shelves in Alko. A French VDP d’Oc bottled in… Germany, under a German brand. Besides, there is not any mention of the vintage, which adds to the oddity of the wine.<\/p>\n

What is there to be said ? Well, it looked like a no buy and it is. The wine is not even cheap (equivalent of 7,15\u20ac bottle) when this kind of crap should be priced around 3-5\u20ac tops.<\/p>\n

In terms of taste, this is the archetypical bad, manipulated wine. I believe many a process has been used to achieve that result. Obviously made from high yields and low ripeness. It has a very unpleasant chemical taste. This is just bad.<\/p>\n

Again, considering the price, it is a much better choice to buy Savia Viva by Par\u00e8s Balta (7,98\u20ac, actually) which is a really good wine. I don’t even rate that Blue Nun, this would be a 15 to 20\/100. Absolutely no point except from getting a very bad hangover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
