There is a lot of emotions here, clearly. But we had just started a nice chat about pizza, wine.

There are so many good wines in Portugal, at all price levels. Can barely find ANY Portuguese wines at the LCBO, Ontario's liquor store controller. Pity.
They bring in all kinds of wines from all over the world.
"Port" made in Australia ?? If it was a French d.o.c. they would have a fit. Rightfully too.
I end up buying Italian wine from the less famous regions (Abbruzzo mostly, San Giovese grapes), or Chilean ones (Cab merlot mix is the currently open bottle).

LCBO.com doesn's seem to be responding atm, or maybe they already Blocked me! 😛
But here's a page that could be interesting.

I meant the LCBO itself. For criticizing them here, lol.

For the record, there's nothing wrong with these lower priced Reds, they are honest Table wine.

Portuguese supermarket shelf. Notice the big range of pricing available, starting at just over Euro 1.5 or so.
Costs here in Canada are three times these, typically. 9 euros for a bottle of locally produced varietals.
The wineries all have monster Chateau kind of buildings; clearly overpriced and it shows in their ostentation.
