Title: Wine in Buriram.
Post by: Admin on October 21, 2010, 04:19:06 PM
Ok, so we all know there are various wine kinds available in Buriram area; 'Big C', 'Makro' and other minimarts, what I would like to discuss here is on the quality and prices of the wine sold here:

Lets start from the cheapest wine I have found in Buriram:

Mont Clair, Red Wine,South Africa: Cost 295 Baht in 'Big C' & 'Makro'.

*Sold in small bottles of 375ml in '7-11' stores for 149 Baht.

This wine is OK for its price, some mild peppery finish, drinkable but surely not the optimized choice.. scatter

Please post here your own recommendation.  party9

Hey admin ~~ you've been done that bottle is only half full.

For myself I like the Charles House Red or White from Makro. alcoholic

Most importantly it comes in a 5 litre bottle with a screw top! party12  about 850 baht a go!

The problem with the big bottle is that I'll surely not leave him alone for so long until empty.... hahaha

I like to buy the regular size and drink it slowly from time to time.

I know the Charles house but this time wanted to try this one because of its attractive price..  :wub:

Its OK wine but I agree with you the Charles House is better, I once met a French guy in the supermarket who gave me a full detailed lecture of the wine history and what can be called WINE and what is cannot be called wine in any condition, his first rule was of course.... MADE IN FRANCE! ;)

I drink wine from time to time, since drinking Beer is sometime somehow too heavy..

I too, drink the Mont Clair Red. BigC does a 5 litre box for around 980b (I think).
Its an OK wine and makes a pleasant change from Leo.

There are better wines but both wines mentioned above are decent low cost wines,
I agree it makes a good change from drinking beer and I think its even healthy if not drink more than lets say, 1-3 glasses of red wine a day.  party5

Nice wine, little bit too dry to my taste...
Title: Re: Wine in Buriram.
Post by: Admin on January 30, 2011, 02:56:54 PM
I just tried the Casanova Rosso red wine (Italy), OK wine but its lack of some dry finish taste at the end is not clear and lack of aroma in general..
I also read later on the bottle that it is a 'Cooking Wine Red'.
Maybe to some certain people it might taste well, sorry for the negative post and I'm not an expert as well but that's how few people who were drinking it last night thought about this wine.  icon_heart

This place I found had a great choice of wines ,some good prices too .
They are on Sukunvit RD Bangkok right next to the Burger-king ..
I think that they will deliver if you order is worth it (not sure if they put it on a bus) ,they said the specials are not always on the website but still here it is:

What is the origin of the wines in Cambodia?
Title: Re: Wine in Buriram.
Post by: Prakhonchai Nick on July 24, 2011, 12:40:14 PM
Probably all imported, as are most Thai wines. The price difference is duty to little or no duty payable

Earlier this month we were drinking French and Australian wine there.

I just tried this wine (Thai), very cheap, thought its worth a try at 199 Baht for a 'Reserve' edition.. :D
Not recommended.
Add an extra 100 Baht and you are going to the next level of low cost wine selection in Thailand. redman

I have always believed that wine is for drinking  -  not spitting in a bucket.


The Cortica Antica is perfectly quaffable, as is the Italian red @ 125 bahr for a half litre carafe, as are the various bottles of Aussie wine sold at 250 Baht a bottle.

I'm sure a Restaurateur of your standing would only sell a palatable house wine  smilenod
To be honest , expensive wine and cheap plonk taste the same to most people IMO.How many people would know the differance between a Chteau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac 1996 to a Rancho Zabaco Dancing Bull Zinfandel 2009 ...not many. Most on this site seem to go with quantity and price rather than quality .An expensive wine may well have a full body, a delicate nose and good legs, but the odds are most amateur's brain will never know. alcoholic
