Proper Spanish Tapas

Drinking the right Spanish wine with your tapas

The good news is that almost any type of wine (within reason!) will go with your tapas.

Bear in mind that there are many cheap wines that are truly excellent - and many that will take the skin off your tongue!

You just gotta try ‘em and sort out the good from the bad. Sorry about that!

One of the best ways of learning about wines is to go to Salamanca in Spain and try them!

There is an excellent course run by Don Quijote, the in-country language school, that combines a wine tasting and Spanish language course. What better way to further your education?!

Spain produces some superb wines, of any style you may prefer, from its many regions.

Each has its own colour, aroma and taste, reflecting the diverse individuality of the region from whence it came.

Rather than list a whole pageful of labels and vintages, I’ll give you some basic information to help you pick a decent one.

Then I'll leave it up to you to try as many different styles and qualities as you want.

You know it makes sense!

By the way, the Spanish for ‘cheers’ is ‘salud!’.

Or, if you’ve taken my above advice, ‘shalud...hic!’
