I like drinking wine 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 has been in operation for more than 20 years already, and it looks like it’s totally possible to make a good wine in the tropics. I liked the wine 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, grapevines can easily live for over a hundred years, but we don’t really have any data for Thailand.
