Oh. Drinking a can of Carlsberg Export, after sharing a bottle Argie Trivento Viognier over dinner. Nice wine...

I think this is the final straw for me tbh, I think WB have become a bit too big for their boots. The yellow label stuff used to be extremely palatable as was the presidents selection but I guess increasing yields and sourcing inferior grapes has driven the quality down as they've banked on previous reputation for sales. I like a good Rioja like Marques de Caceres or Marques de Riscal but my fave is a good SA wine like Kanonkop Pinotage or Kanonkop Paul Sauer.
