DRINK OF THE WEEK
19th January 2026
Varzea Vinho Verde
Lidl £4.89
Drinker Rating 90
So if you're in the midst of a damp-ish January here's a lovely lower alcohol wine from Lidl to keep you going.
There's been a horrible trend toward low and mid-strength wines in the UK - and these are forced and contrived in order that we pay less duty. Can I suggest instead that we focus on wines that have a naturally lower ABV and up steps Vinho Verde.
This has a wonderfully light CO2 prickle and is fresh and easy drinking at only 8%.Perfect before we all go absolutely mental in Feb!
Cheers!
