Indeed, they really have no problem with high alcohol terrifs in Thailand. I saw Gato Negro with one of those security beepers attatched to the bottle the other day and I almost started to laugh. I remember buying that in Ecuador as a bottom of the barrel cheap five dollar wine...im not a big fan of the fruit wines I ve tried here in Thailand so far. Have you had the mangosteen wine? The one I tried seemed to be better used as paint thinner....hahaha

But I've had delicious mangosteen liquers!
That's what I mean - they should give up on the "wines".
and yeah, a $5 wine anywhere else is $20 "cheapo" here.
The other thing is, I once threw away 3 (THREE) bottles of wine from pseudo-Tesco here, coz they know fuck all how to store it. Reds can be OK but some whites won't improve in the heat. lmao.
Real shame, was once my fave drink.
After now two full years in Thailand....I think I'm about ready to drop forty bucks on a ten dollar bottle! hahaha
Dry red wines have always been my favorite, so I haven't had that problem you describe. But at least they know how to do great mango and sticky rice! lol
But need to chew the rice for a long time to ferment it in-mouth!
I also like dry white wines, esp with fish, and some of those travel really badly. Orvieto, Frascati, Pinot Grigio, Chablis... havent had a decent bottle of any of them in years!
Most chardonnay seems to give me a mild headache so avoid the grape.
Hahahaha. That made both @junglegirl (sitting next to me) and myself laugh out loud. I miss my Pinot Gricio too! That's my go-to white wine too. Maybe we're the wrong country, I miss Argentina, that is one hell of a place to eat and drink like a king for peanuts.
Yes, Argentina and Chile were on my list - once upon a time!
