I like drinking vine occasionally, although I usually drink beer. There are a few decent breweries in Thailand, but I didn’t really expect to stumble on a vineyard here, which is exactly what happened a few days ago.
It’s not a big vineyard, but it’s in operation for more than 20 years already, and it looks like it’s totally possible to make a good vine in tropics. I liked the vine selection enough to order a couple of bottles.
Those grapes will be ripe in February, but no one really knows how long the plant will last. In Europe, grape can easily live for over a hundred years, but we don’t really have any data for Thailand.
