Loki you old devil, you never told me about South-African wine

[Jimbo Gomez]

I'm having some right now, it's delicious. It's a quite cheap bottle of young red wine, had never heard of it before (picked it up to have a few glasses with my meal in the weekend). I thought the only thing SA exported these days was highly educated and disillusioned Afrikaner scientists, diamonds and ivory. :p

[Loki]

Haha yes SA wine is good quality for the price. :p

:bottlepm:

Please, suggest a couple of brands! I am a wine maniac, and I love trying them out. Of the non-European ones I've tried, I liked Californian, Australian and Chilean wines. But haven't tasted South African yet :icon12:

It's not wine, but talking about South African alcohol I suggest you try Amarula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amarula) :p

I love it :D!

It looks soft-flavored and creamy, is it like Baileys? :)

[Vulpix]

Yes, even better :D!

I've been sticking to SA wines for years. I love the shiraz wines that they produce down there.

Err yes, fine wine and finer women! :D

Err yes, fine wine and humble women! :D

South Africa indeed produces some great quality wines, and as mentioned earlier in this thread, the price vs. quality ratio is excellent.

In Finland you can get a bottle of SA red for 6-7€ when a comparable Italian or French wine would be over 10€.

I had no idea about South African wine. Ive never seen any of it before maybe just because there's so much wine here. I'll keep a lookout for them in future.

Shiraz has been mentioned do the other grape varieties do well there?.

South African wines are fantastic - when I used to drink, my fave was any of the Cape Red varietes.
