I saw a Youtube video that suggests that they have bottled Peter Vella, which is reasonably drinkable. Anyone else seen it there?
June 26, 20196 yr Popular Post Fresco 289 Baht It is fruit wine, crappy but people who don't know anything about wine le it (like myself)
June 26, 20196 yr Popular Post No boxed wine that I know of, but have Jacobs Creek which is drinkable, if grossly overpriced.

Yes, Peter Vella in a 750 ml bottle (A label from Gallo Winery of Modesto, CA), is available from time to time in various 7s, at least in Chonburi Province. It is readily available at Central Supermarkets, and at some Big C Extra outlets when you can get around. It comes in boxes as well, and is quite drinkable. A good nose, delicate on the palate and a versatile accompanyment to many dishes. Best wishes on your recovery. (From a former 6 year employee and recipient of their generous profit sharing program that allowed me to retire in Thailand. lol).
June 27, 20196 yr Peter Vella is just about drinkable as a basic table wine. I seem to recall ordering wine through Tesco home delivery a while ago, but they only deliver during 'official' hours.

Do you mean Tops? the last time I was in Tops up here they had stopped selling Peter Vella and weren’t getting any more - so said the lady in charge of that aisle.
June 27, 20196 yr The Jacobs Creek classic (white) and the Jacobs Creek unoaked Chardonnay are very drinkable, particularly the latter, and we buy them VERY regularly. Yes they are overpriced but isn't all wine in Thailand.
June 27, 20196 yr do you not have seven eleven near YOU (there are NOT many in Thailand!!!) go and look for yourself.....why ask on here???
June 27, 20196 yr Popular Post I buy "Laughing Bird" a 1.5 litre bottle, Australian wine, at Tesco Lotus Express, not the best wine in the world, however drinkable, at about 575 baht, and that is a 2 bottle size, works out under 300 baht for 750 mil. bottle, go for it

June 27, 20196 yr Depends on what your used to? If drinking very cheap local, young wines in US or European countryside is normal for you then maybe you'll find them ok. But I ask myself about the equation: Stockist = 7-11, Thailand, country low in understanding and appreciation of good wines, cheap prices = crap. I mean come on people in LOS drink reds chilled in the fridge for God's sake!

Reminds me of that old saying, “It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt”. https://vinepair.com/wine-101/right-temperature-serve-every-type-wine/ The most common misconception with red wine is that it is ideal to serve it at room temperature, when in fact serving it cool is the best way to enjoy it. To cool red down to its proper temperature, we like to place it in the fridge an hour before serving it. Teaching moment over.

June 27, 20196 yr Australian wine at 7-11? Yes!!...and only SIXTY (60) baht!!! But from an Australian 7/11 sorry ????
June 27, 20196 yr If they have 'Laughing Bird' get that as it's a day-to-day drinkable plonk. Not great but better than Vellas etc. I buy the large bottles from Rimping but 7/11 might have it.

Didn't know you could buy wine in an Australian 7 Eleven.... and not wishing to spoil a good story, but Precious Earth is an Aldi label which is where the photo looks to have been taken... ????
June 27, 20196 yr 7 Eleven... Aldi... Coles... etc etc etc. Makes little difference, they’re all Aus outlets. Product and price shown in photo are true, so nice try but “story” not “spoiled” [emoji3]
