At any rate, since I was working so hard, I decided to go to the liquor store and buy a bottle of wine to ease the pain. Boy, was I shocked!! The prices of wine are so-o-o high here: $16.99 for a fairly decent bottle.
So, now dear wine-drinking friends who are planning to
travel to Germany and France: I have some very, very, important information for you. When you want to buy a bottle of
wine, head to a supermarket, not to a wine shop. The prices are downright
cheap!! You can get a good bottle of
wine – from anywhere in the world – for
under 6€. (I only go to a wine shop to purchase wine when I need a gift. Their
free wrapping service makes any bottle look much more expensive than it is!)
In German supermarkets, you will find aisles and aisles of
wines from all over the world – including Germany. In French supermarkets, you
will find aisles and aisles of French wine and a half aisle of wine from
somewhere else!! I am not a wine
connoisseur (merely an imbiber), but I like Pinotage from the Western Cape of
South Africa (red wine), and I love Prosecco (sparking white wine) from Italy!!
In the summer, there is nothing better than a glass of
chilled Prosecco served with chilled gummy bears!! Try it!!
