Lovers of sweet wine will be no stranger to Weingut Tschida Angerhof, the Austrian winery that we previously highlighted when they were crowned Sweet Winemaker of the Year 2019 (for the 6th time!) at the International Wine Challenge in London. 

We recently caught up with Hans Tschida himself, who talks more about the uniqueness of his terroir and the Sämling 88 grape variety.

We're in the golden age of winemaking, and new developments and technologies have made it possible to make high-quality wines all over the world. That also means you can now enjoy fantastic bottles at very affordable prices. From highly aromatic Moscato D'asti to powerful reds, these are some of the best wines you can get for under $50.

he charismatic and talented Alvaro Palacios is one of nine children born to the owners of Rioja’s respected Palacios Remondo. He later studied enology in Bordeaux while working under Jean-Pierre Moueix at Chateau Pétrus, where he learnt about “the importance of great wines.” He could have returned to his family’s domaine, but he struck out on his own in the 1980s and found the largely abandoned, ancient vineyards of Priorat. Some 60 miles from Barcelona, Priorat was once one of Spain’s important pre-Phylloxera wine regions, and Alvaro believed it was time again to make incredible wines here.
