Wine is amazingly inexpensive here, especially Portuguese Wine. It looks like most of the wine price ranges under three Euros for a 750 ML bottle in grocery stores. For a few times, John bought a box of wine (1 liter) for 0.75 Euro. It was surprisingly good. He thinks the packing might be the most expensive cost of the box wine. I wonder how a box of wine could be less than a dollar. Grapes are not usually cheap.
One of the cruisers introduced me a local wine from Pico Island, Faria’s Vineyard Wine, a little more expensive than other kinds, I mean under five Euros instead of three Euros. I have tried Faria’s Rose. It tasted different, dry with grape juice flavor, but I liked it. I plan to buy some more to store on the boat, hoping to drink with old friends someday. First come first served! Someone told me one time, the quality of wine comes from the people whom we are drinking together. We meet new cruiser friends but I miss those times drinking wine with old friends.
