Real Lavrador white wine at *everywhere*
It´s in bottles of red, of white, in boxes… it´s everywhere and it´s €2.20, €2.49, you get the idea. So is Real Lavrador from Adega de Redondo in the Alentejo region the Barefoot equivalent in Portugal or something you can…
Abelharuco white wine at Lidl
This Alentejo white is light and easy and always under €3. It´s a little fruity and a little more citrusy, so good for fish, afternoons outside, and less so for punchier-flavored meals.
Castelo de Borba at Lidl: 60% off!
This Alentejo red is big and not fruity, not dry either. Usually €4.99 it did a bumper crop last year and is often on sale for almost half list price. Do you like cake? Vanilla? OK then get this one.
Ponta Morgada Reserva
If €3 feels a bit much for this white wine at Mercadona, this 2024 Setubal gem is €2.60 at the church of Mercadona. Citrusy and tropical, it retails outside portugal for over $9. You´re not going to leave your spouse for it, but it´s solid and dependable. If we may... their reserva red is much better.
2024 Vila Real Douro at Mercadona
A Douro white wine for €3 you say? Or for €3.29 after Mercadona hiked prices? This one´s a keeper. Citrus, tropical fruit, and a light, toasty ending make it an all-seasons, all-meals kind of white.
Porta 6 Red Wine at Continente
This one´s everywhere too — Trader Joe´s sells it in the U.S. for $6-$7 — it´s the UN of reds, mentioned on famous BBC cooking shows and recognizable across a room for the Lisboa cable car alone. Bring it to…
Porta da Ravessa Colheita Especial
Porta da Ravessa Colheita Especial Branco is a typical (yes, also especial) white from Adega de Redondo in Portugal’s Alentejo region. Alentejo whites are known for being soft, fruity, often with citrus and orchard fruit flavours rather than sharp minerality…
2019 Borsao Red Wine (Spanish)
A very fruity Spanish wine you can find in markets in the north. Borsao, €3,89
O Xico´s House Wines
O Xico If you’re hunting for the soul of Porto, forget the wine lists the size of telephone books. Head to Casa dos Presuntos “Xico” in Bonfim. This isn’t a place for ceremony; it’s a life-affirming pairing of salt-cured ham…
Outeiro dos Pinheiros
This one´s misleading. The score, the price; many people go right to this label as their Cheapgood. It´s at every outdoor ad hoc gathering and it´s remarkably, amazingly drinkable for the price. Well done, Pine Hill.
