Posted by Fiona Beckett(Google+) on February 5 2021 at 09:58 Lidl’s latest ‘wine tour’ focuses on Spain and Portugal this month so I tried out a few wines from the selection. These two Portuguese wines struck me as the best buys, not least because they were slightly cheaper than the others. It’s ironic that as other retailers madly scramble to reduce their prices Lidl is steadily creeping up theirs.
Vinho verde seems to get better and better with much more character than the cheap 11% examples that use to be standard. This is deliciously fresh and fruity (I picked up starfruit, kiwi, grapes and green apple) - almost springlike in its appeal so perfect for light fish dishes and salads.
