I saw a Youtube video that suggests that they have bottled Peter Vella, which is reasonably drinkable. Anyone else seen it there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giddyup Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 No boxed wine that I know of, but have Jacobs Creek which is drinkable, if grossly overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Peter Vella in a 750 ml bottle (A label from Gallo Winery of Modesto, CA), is available from time to time in various 7s, at least in Chonburi Province. It is readily available at Central Supermarkets, and at some Big C Extra outlets when you can get around. It comes in boxes as well, and is quite drinkable. A good nose, delicate on the palate and a versatile accompanyment to many dishes. Best wishes on your recovery. (From a former 6 year employee and recipient of their generous profit sharing program that allowed me to retire in Thailand. lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyfez Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Peter Vella is just about drinkable as a basic table wine. I seem to recall ordering wine through Tesco home delivery a while ago, but they only deliver during 'official' hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean Tops? the last time I was in Tops up here they had stopped selling Peter Vella and weren’t getting any more - so said the lady in charge of that aisle.

Bredbury Blue Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 The Jacobs Creek classic (white) and the Jacobs Creek unoaked Chardonnay are very drinkable, particularly the latter, and we buy them VERY regularly. Yes they are overpriced but isn't all wine in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob48 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I buy "Laughing Bird" a 1.5 litre bottle, Australian wine, at Tesco Lotus Express, not the best wine in the world, however drinkable, at about 575 baht, and that is a 2 bottle size, works out under 300 baht for 750 mil. bottle, go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropposurfer Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Depends on what your used to? If drinking very cheap local, young wines in US or European countryside is normal for you then maybe you'll find them ok. But I ask myself about the equation: Stockist = 7-11, Thailand, country low in understanding and appreciation of good wines, cheap prices = crap.

Reminds me of that old saying, “It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt”. https://vinepair.com/wine-101/right-temperature-serve-every-type-wine/ The most common misconception with red wine is that it is ideal to serve it at room temperature, when in fact serving it cool is the best way to enjoy it. To cool red down to its proper temperature, we like to place it in the fridge an hour before serving it. Teaching moment over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBKK Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 If they have 'Laughing Bird' get that as it's a day-to-day drinkable plonk. Not great but better than Vellas etc. I buy the large bottles from Rimping but 7/11 might have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
