Blue Nun

The German white wine was a mixture of grape and riesling to produce a very sweet wine. The modern rendition of Blue Nun has removed the riesling, allowing the sweetness to settle. This is a lovely pairing with more spicy foods.

Riuntè Lambrusco

The Italian red was a common sight in the 70s and is still a firm favourite. A semi-sweet wine with a light fizz with a fruity bouquet. This wine also makes a wonderful base for a refreshing Sangria.

Mateus Rosè

This Portuguese wine is a delicious combination of strawberry and watermelon with a sparkling texture on the tongue. It is a pleasantly sweet rosè that will be refreshing after a long day at work.

Piat d’Or

The Piat d’Or range offers dry red, white, and sparkling wines. The modern vintages are a marked improvement on the early Californian wines. This is the range to look at if you are looking for a good dry wine from the 70s.

Lancer’s Rosè

A very sweet wine that is best served chilled and pairs well with dessert and fruit. This wine is made from an appellation of five different grape varieties. A luscious rosè that can be enjoyed on a hot summer’s day.

Alexandre Burgard Beaujdais-Village

This red wine has improved with the technologies modern wine-making has to offer. It now has a lower tannin content, reducing the bitter aftertaste previously had. Now you get a fruity blend with the flavour of currants.

Bikaver ‘Bull’s Blood’

The Hungarian red wine was a well-liked full-bodied wine. Sadly the quality dipped, and the reputation of the Bull’s Blood was damaged. Though hesitant to use the name, Hungarian winemakers have a new range of this deep and spicy red. This is definitely a good option if you enjoy a full-bodied red.

Andrè Cold Duck Sweet Sparkling Wine

A German wine that followed on from a practice that used leftover wine to create a tasty drink, the Cold Duck, was known to be sickly sweet. Even the modern purple-coloured wine has an incredibly sweet taste and is not for everyone.

Fratelli Bellini Chianti

This Chianti brings back images of raffia-covered bottles holding candles on restaurant tables. While the wine inside was thin and metallic. The modern version is much better. Although you don’t have the same bottle, the taste can take you back.

Martini & Rossi Rosso

This is a fortified wine with a blend of grapes, fruits, herbs, and spices. Many find the mixture to be too sweet to drink as a wine and prefer to use it as a cocktail mix or over a lot of ice as an aperitif.
