A Wine with History!

In honor of the upcoming 4th of July celebrations….a wine with history!
Mateus is a brand from Portugal that was created in 1942; production began at the end of World War II. The flavor profile appealed to the international market and became a huge hit. At that time the appeal was its fizzy, sweet, easy drinking profile.
Eventually, sales diminished so to breathe life back into the brand, a re-package and re-launch began. The new package capitalized on 1970s nostalgia. Along with new packaging came an updated flavor profile; less sweet and slightly more sparkling.
Today, you can find Mateus in its flask-shaped bottle, inspired by the flasks used by soldiers in WWI, at Bev Mo for approx $6.99.
Serve well chilled on a steaming hot day, such as this 4th of July, and you won’t be disappointed. Its not a dry Rose, it is a unique, fizzy, lively, fresh, $6.99, Rose....
