Our first Argentina Wine blog lists our top twenty red wines in order of preference and then deals with the time consuming task of choosing quality good value quaffing wines at the supermarket.
When new to a foreign country, choosing wine can be daunting task. Spending half your day gazing ‘knowingly’ at wine bottle labels when you do not have a clue what you are looking at (we have seen you) is a waste of your time – Buenos Aires Stay to the rescue!
Our objective is to provide our blog readers a quick guide to the very best wines available in Argentina (our lowly opinions) and then guide you to the cheapest best quality Argentina vinos tintos. How about that! We are treading where angels fear….confident – yep!
In return, we would like to elicit your views, you got your list here at the Buenos Aires Stay Argentina Wines Blog, we ask you, the reader, to comment on our advice and splurge your views straight from your palate.
Our first listings rank the top Argentina red wines (vinos tintos) in order of preference (please note that you will not find some of these in supermarkets, should you wish to source fine Argentine wines just ask) alongside our wine rankings is a price guide. Price is relative; we think Argentine red wines are great value for money, even those that costs in excess of $100 USD are amazing, quality wines for the price!
