White Wine

Hi,

re: White Wine

When I was in Bulgaria (beach, not been to the mountains before) wine was available in any kind you wanted, to suit all tastes - we got rather partial to a champagne like substance...

Prices varied but round about 2-3 quid a bottle if I remember rightly. (I drank a lot so brain addled and cared not about prices!).

Through reading this board I'm quite convinced the bars, cafes n'wot not are akin to those in beach resorts, if not friendlier!

Very Happy

re: White Wine

we found one with a blue label, with 'Chardonnay' in gold lettering. Bottle had a spiral type moulding to it (you'll know what I mean when you see it). If i remember it came from Targovishte (apologies to any Bulgarians for the spelling, I had quite a lot of it by the time I read the label).

It was 15 Lev per bottle in the Samokov restaurant and 7 Lev in the supermarket across the road. (Proably 3 Lev in Samokov town ).

Very nice Booze Booze Booze

My mum said that in Pamps they weren't very good at serving white wine cold. Aparently they didn't understand that someone would want a cold drink in the middle of winter.
