Reasons we like Argentina No. 2 - cheap local wine

We've finally had our first bottle of wine, after 10 weeks, 6 days and - well we've crossed too many timezones to work out the hours!   Admirable abstinence for the sake of the children and the travel budget? Well no, not really.  It has been similar to when Jules was first pregnant and I decided to go on the wagon to make it easier for Jules. Well, similar in principle, at least, although on that occasion the abstinence was measured regrettably only in hours, not days and weeks.

No, the simple truth is that to date, at over £20 per bottle for a very modest imported wine, it has been a luxury not worth paying for in Brazil and Ecuador, although the odd beer has been within our reach.  However, here we are in Buenos Aires and yesterday, we paid under £3 for a very passable bottle in a restaurant!!



Salud!
I didn't have a camera to capture the moment, however here's one that's "similar!"
