xylophone Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Try the Australian Shiraz/Cabernet called "The Pump" at Makro, a very sound drinker for under 300 baht. The Wine Connection has a couple of reds I like, the "Rare Vineyards" Cabernet/Syrah (Vin de pays D'oc, France)at 499 baht and is almost a cross between an old world/new world red, and the Italian wine Primitivo/Zinfandel at 449 baht. Have enjoyed on many occasions, however everyone has their own personal tastes/likes/dislikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuenyongman Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 If you know where to shop in Australia ,you can buy a case of red wine for $12.00.. It is not at a winery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Just a quick side note: Which Rimping is the largest? The Mae Ping Branch is the largest by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfie Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 My four local 7/11s, my local Tesco Express and a little shop on the Suthep Rd. side of Payom Market all have Aussie and other imported wines on the shelf, there is also a large liquor store with loads of imports, on Huai Kaeo Rd. just east of Canal Rd on the north side. If you buy from the air-conditioned 24/7 shops, the temperature has probably been fairly constant, at least while it's been in the shop. It's not hard to find... but as previously mentioned, the import duties and taxes make them all pretty expensive, compared to the price in the country of origin and there's no way around that. (or if there is, somebody, PLEASE tell me!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
