My Fantastic Fairtrade Wine Tasting

Who doesn’t enjoy a nice glass of wine after a long day? I would be lying if I said my wine “cellar” wasn’t constantly stocked, so I think it is about time I added a Fairtrade variety or two.

Choosing the brand was easy; last year on a trip to South Africa, I visited Thandi Wines, the first wine makers to be certified Fairtrade, on their estate near Stellenbosch. Whilst I do consider myself something of a wine connoisseur, I’m not one for describing wines as smelling like ‘welly boots’ or ‘freshly mown grass’ like some wine experts out there. Why not take a look at my video diary to find out my thoughts on this glass of Thandi Semillion/Sauvignon Blanc.

I am definitely a fan of this wine and I would be happy to make it a permanent member of my wine stock, although I wouldn’t be adverse to a return trip to South Africa to research this subject a bit more extensively!

Thank you for sharing. You did not tell us how old was that drink.

Hello kombizz, thank you for your comment. The vintage of the wine I swapped is 2007. It really is a lovely wine.
