Kia ora, mate! Sounds beautiful. It's blistering hot here. My dad is over here, visiting from godzone, got fed up with the heat and headed off in the general direction of the Canadian border, convinced he could find some cool mountain somewhere to avoid this heat.

By your 'hndle', can I assume that you live in St Helier, up around Auckland? Lived in Remuera myself but only for a year. Spent most of my years in Hamiltopn (yuk) and Wellington - which I loved. Brother lives in Nelson - lucky b(*^%(*^d

Hope all is well - tantalize us some more soon with tales of those great kiwi wines.

A common misconception - nope St.Helier is my name

Long story about Greek Arch-heroes; patron saints of Scotland and unmarried mothers; Jersey (Channel Islands) and Irish criminals of Norman extraction!!!!!

I must confess, it does raise the occasional eyebrow!

No, I simply REFUSE to do so.

First..., thanks to everyone for chiming in with so much info and comment re my enquiry.

Re 'acidic', what I meant was less acidic tasting and, hopefully, less likely to generate stomach acid etc.!

Just to add, I've tried Aliança and Aveleda. The latter seems a tad richer, though the former has lower alcohol content --- both have a nice 'fiz'.

I like them with ice, and note less of a slight/dull headache compared with the cheapo Canadian I'd been having the last while.
