Thanks to the World Cup 2010, South Africa is getting some attention. Okay it’s getting a lot of attention actually. And thanks to that, a spotlight is being shown on South Africa’s wines. South Africa makes some unique and wonderful wines that while favorites of some savvy wine lovers, are still unheard of by a lot of the world. Wine from South Africa is best described as affordable. The region produces some glorious wines full of deep earthiness and smoky aromas like rich cigar or tobacco. These not very well known wines are finally getting some the press they deserve after 350 years of brilliant wine making.
But this surge of attention to South Africa’s wine market is all thanks to the World Cup, so why don’t you give it a little toast, with wine from the area of course. To get you in the mood for the World Cup what better than to enjoy some authentic South African wine. Make sure to slip the bottles you carefully picked out into a neoprene wine carrier for the safest possible ride home. Think about how far this wine has come for you to enjoy it.
