I drink Moscato because I love my wife. I love my wife because I think she smells of honey and she tastes sugar sweet, like the Moscato that she loves to drink.
Call me an Alchie but ever since I decided to collect wine after my Bali holiday in May, I have been drinking many a bottle. The great thing about Moscatos is that they're cheap. All the bottles shown are less than $35 and are readily available in the grocery store. They don't taste of too much alcohol, in fact, these wines have unusually lower alcohol levels and they're sweet. As some of you already know, my wife has a sweet tooth, correction, a sweet lower jaw, and we can go through bottles of this without being filled in the spirit. The funny thing is that Moscatos are usually slightly carbonated. And my wife hardly drinks anything carbonated.
So for the young lovers, this is the drink to drink. Not too drunk to not know whats going on and classy and mature enough that you're drinking wine.
But which one to drink? I reckon the best value is the Long Flat Moscato. Its only $19 on sale in any grocery store, carbonation level isn't high and its not too sweet that it tastes like a dessert wine.
The moscato with the worst name is Brown Brothers.
If you really want to impress your girlfriend or wife, buy the Italian Moscato d' Asti. More carbonation in its liquid, and usually less sweet than most other moscatos.
Hand picked was purchased because I thought Saruman from Lord Of The Rings owned the vineyard.
