Last of the Summer Wine

Here we find ourselves in the month of September, you could be forgiven for crying into a glass of wine as we soon wave goodbye to the summer of 2019. But let's not get too upset just yet, it's not quite the last of the summer wine…

In the UK, Last of The Summer Wine will be best known to many as the BBC British sitcom that ran from 1973 to 2010, about a trio of old men and their youthful misadventures. Whether you are of a similar age or a little younger, having a misadventure with a glass of wine or two may just be the music to your ears.

You may associate wine tasting as a French delicacy and perhaps unaware of The Algarve's emergence as a key player in the making of wine. From walking through one million acres of vineyards, stepping on a few grapes to tasting your creation from a swig of your glass, Portugal's vineyards are certainly a treat and a popular attraction for holidaymakers in Quinta Do Lago, Vale Do Lobo and Vilamoura!

Exploring vineyards are enjoyable, easy and fairly cost-effective alternative from what you may be used to. The locals may even join you in enjoying popping a cork, with the Portuguese consuming around 43.7 litres of wine per capita - can you blame them?

Tourists from all over the world are interested to learn and experience the native grape varieties that are still hand picked to this day, continuing the trend for being the most renowned producers of all types, colours and flavours of wine in the world - you may even want to take a bottle back home in your suitcase!

If vineyards and wineries are towards the top of your 'to-do' list before the summer is out, you will no doubt be interested to find out where you can go to embrace this culture phenomenon.
