Portuguese products in supermarkets


Just came from LIDL and brought a bottle of the wine Torre de Ferro, 2006 (Reserva), from the Dão region!! Yippee!
In some LIDL's you may also find the white wine (Alvarinho) but we had no luck. Already gone! :(

Yesterday, more bad news: ASDA in Burton decided to stop selling Super Bock... I'm gonna die!!! Worse: they have substituted it by another brand, Sagres. I know it's still Portuguese beer, and a good brand, but we all know Super Bock is the best! The only Sagres I can't resist is Bohemia, and that one is impossible to find around here.
I couldn't leave like that and called one of the employees in charge of the beverage section and told him that I wasn't pleased. Plus, he told us the beer sold really well, so we weren't the only ones drinking it. I also took the opportunity to tell him that the label in the wines section saying Portugal & Spain Wines was no good as the only Portuguese wine sold there is Mateus Rosé (I'm not counting Port wine because it's not a table wine). He said he was going to communicate my thoughts. Let's see if he does. Phew!!

Normalmente os vinhos compro no Tesco Wine Online. Um dos nossos preferidos é o Tagus Creek Shiraz Trincadeira,Ribatejo. E há a versão Rosé e Chardonnay/Fernão Pires. Também no Marks&Spencer encontrei o "Padre Pedro", Ribatejo. :))

Normalmente os vinhos portugueses são sempre caros, agora se quiseres bom vinho podes sempre optar pelos Sul Africanos (Kumala, First Cape) ou Australianos em half-price.

Compreendo a tua indignação. Não há cerveja que se compare à nossa Super Bock.
