VG: World Cup Wine
Leave it to the Germans to realize we’d all be sick of beer after a few days of FIFA World Cup soccer match-ups. Norway’s Verdens Gang (VG) newspaper is reporting German wine producers have officially licensed various wines for the 2006 tournament.
The daily newspaper’s pick? An easy drinking dornfelder. Big and juicy with weak tannins, this wine has a slow dark berry and licorice finish. Staunch beer drinkers might even be convinced to try a sip alongside sausage and barbecue snacks. And at about $17 US a bottle, it will be a welcome alternative come next week.
