365 Drinks: #272 Fresco Berry Red Wine (Thailand)

Really running out of Thai drinks…

After about a month in Myanmar we made it back to Thailand. The New Years festival celebrated by Myanmar and Thailand was still going, but you can tell that the Thai don’t take it as serious as the Burmese to splash people. We were able to get some dinner and head home with a bottle of wine staying pretty much dry.

The wine I had in my bag was a Frescon Berry Red Wine that (as the name says) was a berry-flavoured red wine. It had only 8 percent and a dark red clear colour. It smelled very sweet fruity/berry and was slightly thicker than your usual red wine. The taste was like eating a handful of berries mixed with some grape juice. It was very sweet but still bearable compared to other drinks I had. The price was cheap and it was ok to drink so it gets some points but overall I have to say that it is not really my drink.
