No Red Wine Boxes In Chiang Mai?

[PostmanPat]

Ah, Postman Pat, I will gladly bring a box of red to your cremation! But I hope not soon!

Happy to have a fire if you provide the wine....I certainly have one or two potential "Guy Fawkes" but not including me!

Sorry, Mapguy, accidental pun there when I mentioned Guy Fawkes!

Just saying that I will raise my glass in a few toasts as you toast !!!

Went to Mackro Hand Dong today - full stock of Caminos Cab and Merlot ( 1580Bt 3 lt ) an Chard - asked the gal why it go up so much - import from Chile taxes - I said I will not buy --- but you are the farang with money in your pocket -- that's why I have money in my pocket - I will not buy

Just bought a 5l box of Mont Clair red at Meechok Tesco. Two left at 13:30.

We tried one bottle of the Peter Vella red and it was sugary like PostmanPat said. I have to say that it was the worst wine that I've ever tried (that was not corked). Of course, I guess it could have been a bad batch, but never again will I buy that brand. I haven't tried Bodega yet.

binjalin -- Are you drinking the red or white of the box wines you are mentioning? I ask because I have not found a reasonably priced white wine which is why I am sipping Montclair red (which I still think is better with food).

Yesterday, we were lucky enough to have a good tasting bottle of wine. It was a Sicilian Syrah and it went well with our duck leg confit. It was about 700 baht.

Regarding box wines, I like it because the packaging keeps the wine in a drinkable state for awhile.

yes I'm a Bodegas fan at the moment - far superior to Mont Clair (wish I had not mentioned Peter Vella)

I'm sorry... I guess I worded that too strong. Thank you for the Bodegas recommendation. We will keep it in mind.

are those 399Baht bottles really that bad at Rimping?

I bought one of those Caminos, not box but bottle and it was pretty good. Sold out though. Bought it at Promenada.
