luso CHALLENGE INTERNATIONAL

Publicado em 16 de Abril de 2013 por Aníbal Coutinho

130406-3854-PArThe 2013 edition, Bourg sur Gironde based, was a record high for Portuguese wine samples – more than 470 – due to this year’s only Alentejo trophy. Considering that last National Wine Competition (CNV) gathered 700 wines and my 2 annual tastings get more than 3000 samples, may someone answer me if the investment of industry’s money in the remodeled domestic Wines of Portugal competition run by ViniPortugal and professional wine bullshiters (like myself) make any sense?
