Spanish Wine


Having spent a weekend in Spain, I spent a great deal of time eating and drinking, enjoying the difference between the two cultures, especially as far as alcohol is concerned.

In Spain, the house wine is the signature of a restaurant:  it’s cheap, it’s very good. It is the way a restaurant attracts customers and advertises itself. In the UK, on the other hand, the house wine is the cheapest the house could find -- quite often the mixed leftovers from the night before.

Another interesting difference is that while in Spain beer is served in small glasses, in England its in buckets.

Don't you like  travelling?
