Wine is always in season
A good glass of wine in the evening is always nice - no matter the season. But some wines and certain flavours are particularly associated with either winter or summer. And so the question is: Which wine goes with which dish? In summer, we often eat light dishes, perhaps in combination with vegetables and grilled meat. In the winter months, on the other hand, it's the hearty dishes that appear on the plate.
Similarly, there is a distinction between summer and winter wines: sunshine and mild temperatures call for a cool white wine or rosé. Here we recommend a nice fruity wine, such as Barefoot Pinot Grigio, or a sweet drop, such as Black Tower Pink Bubbly.
Strong, flavourful red wines or a Riesling, on the other hand, are perfect for the dark season. At ScandiPark you'll find a great selection: try Marques de Riscal Reserva from Spain or choose Mertes Riesling Kabinett. When winter turns into Christmas, a Christmas mulled wine is of course a must. The tasty blend of red wine, spices and orange juice is easy to make yourself - but you can also buy it at Scandinavian Park.
Here's to the vines!
The world's most popular wine regions have been providing wine lovers with great wines for many years: they have proven their worth and their positive reputation is well deserved. You probably know wine regions such as Rioja in Spain; Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence and the Rhône Valley in France; Piedmont and Tuscany in Italy and California in the USA. Germany also offers high-quality wine. Many have heard of the Mosel and Rheingau wine regions, also known as the "German Riviera". If you're looking for a tasty drop, it pays to buy wines from these regions.
But other countries also produce delicious wines. Take the Bohai region in China, which, with more than one million hectares of vineyards, is the second largest wine producer in the world. Greece is also an underdog, as the popular tourist destination is not necessarily known for being a wine country. This is despite the fact that Attica - a lesser-known Greek wine region with optimal weather conditions - offers exquisite wines.
