Curious about Lambrusco in the US, UK and Australia

Go to

and put in Lambrusco as the wine name and select a country for the store location, such as the US. You will get a NV and some vintage choices. You will find that there are several brands of NV and a few brands of vintage Lambrusco for sale. Many you mentiond are included. Prices are given. You can find basic, low-priced Lambrusco neary anywhere in the US. The better ones can be much more expensive than the basic ones and often are found in stores in large cities that stock a large variety of better Italian wines. I probably could find a basic Lambrusco within walking distance of my home. I might have to drive 50 miles or order by mail to find a premium Lambrusco. Many are unaware that there are premium Lambruscos that are much better than the basic ones, but not everyone likes this style of wine even when it is very well made.

The Lambrusco craze in the late 70s-80s forced out any decent lambrusco's from the US market. I bought back some lambrusco as samples but given the fact that they all would sell for more than Reunite or Cella it was a non-starter. Good lambrusco is a delight. Many gustatory palaces in Emilia Romagna make their own and they are delightful.

Thanks, very much

And Riunite played a big role in all that. They produced some lambrusco + fruit juice combos, too. Sigh.

It's hard to sell something at a certain price, if it was usually sold as a replacement for Dr.Pepper :)

Thanks all for the infos
