Holla fruit wine anyone?

[recom273]

I needed some wine for braised lamb shanks .. The wife went to BigC and went through the range while I was watching on LINE.
 

I settled for this - 219B - Some of the other cheaper bottles had “fruit wine” across the label. When she got home, this one is also labelled “fruit wine” in the back. 

 

 

Fruit wine sounds a bit ominous.

Does anyone have any rough ideas before I open it and ruin some perfectly decent lamb shanks. 
 

Does anyone else have a chosen cooking wine?

It's fruit juice with added alcohol, as far as I know (which is taxed at 50%).

Not fermented grapes (which are taxed at 436%).

How about you open the bottle, take a nip, and tell us?

 

I presume it is possible to take a small sampling before starting those perfectly decent lamb shanks

The marketing department seem to have put a lot of thought into that label, presentation is everything

As the bottle you have is not real wine as it should be produced, I would never put that on any kind of food. Neither would I even try to drink it. I can tell you it will be horrible!

If you wish to make it good, you should chose from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Shiraz. 

 

I would either choose Cassilero del Diablo (Shiraz) if you choose a red wine. That one you can usually find in Tops, but sometimes they only have Cabernet Sauvignon which will work same good..

 

When you go for a white wine you can very well use the same brand Cassilero del Diablo.

It will set you back about 600 baht for a bottle what ever you choose, but you will get a really good dinner. ????

Might be better suited to fish and chips

Perfect answer! I will take a look in tops. I don’t drink a lot anyway, but if I wanted wine it used to be a quick visit to the duty free between Malaysia.
 

The label is a bit misleading - the other fruit wines were labeled as, this was hidden away on the back.

 

Why don’t I take a nip? Because then I can’t fob it off on to someone else. ????

Right! Even if you do not drink a lot, it can be nice on occasion. In that case you will at the same time has a perfect wine for drinking. Actually, Gordon Ramsey is often serving Cassilero del Diablo at his restaurant Hell Kitchen that also goes as TV-serie.

Regarding passing the wine on. Hmm ooh my god. You have to consider that person will be your enemy for life. ????

That’s ok .. I’m sure they will do something just as evil, like add sprite.
