Author: THE WINE JUNKIES

On our website we share with you our stories as we are on the hunt for our daily dose of wine. We are two wine enthusiasts from Europe in our thirties and currently live in South-East Asia. Wine has really taken off here in the past few years and it’s great to see our-so-beloved fermented grape juice being embraced by more and more people in this part of the world as well. While some wine snobs make wine overly complicated, we believe wine is about fun. Wine adds so much joy to our lives, and we hope that by reading our posts we are able to share some of that enthusiasm with you. Santé! Albert & Willem

St Emilion is one of The Wine junkies favorite Bordeaux wines and this is why…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Sunsets are proof that endings can often be beautiful too"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our mind one of the best ways to discover a vineyard is through a hot air balloon.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
#winechallenge number 06 from @winefolly on a warm summer night in Amsterdam⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We were delighted to have seen with our own eyes how the Henschke family has been responsible for playing an important role in the history of Australian winemaking. The sixth generation of Henschke’s has now stepped up to continue what their ancestors have been successfully doing for many years and it was reassuring to see that this legendary winery is in good hands to continue to lead Australian winemaking to new pinnacles in the future⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that Grapes Are Actually Berries?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that table and Wine Grapes Are Different...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tasmania is Australia’s southernmost wine-making region, and has a great reputation when it comes to food and drinks. It has some of the best seafood Australia has to offer, famous for its oysters, salmon and scallops as well as lamb, cheese and honey. Besides some of the best cool-climate wines, the island produces some renowned apple and pear ciders, whiskey, beer and even gin. In other words, a great place for foodies to visit⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wine 16 of the #winefolly #winechallenge: #lambrusco from #cantinececi in this uber-cool blackboard bottle provided with a chalk and eraser to personalize your bottle. Our tasting notes; medium purple colour, sparkling, low viscosity, a nose of black currant jam, cranberry juice and potting soil. Medium dry, high acidity, low alcohol, low tannins and light body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The wine junkies are pleased that restaurants & bars are opening up again and can enjoy a served glass of wine... We wish all of restaurant & bar owners all the best in the coming period🙏🍷💪🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that the famous winery Château d’Yquem was almost English. During the Middle Ages, in fact, the estate belonged to the King of England, who was also Duke of Aquitaine at the time. In 1453, southwest France was once again brought under the dominion of the French crown by Charles VII and has stayed French ever since. A century and a half later, in 1593, a descendent of a local noble family, Jacques Sauvage, was given feudal tenure over Yquem. The Gironde department archives, as well as those of the château, show that special winegrowing practices and late harvesting already existed at this time⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the wine junkies favorite Champagne: Bollinger⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
