Back in my college days (was I ever that young?), I used to buy this wine from a now-defunct wine shop because they reliably never checked my ID (I wasn't old enough) and it was just about all I could afford. Featherweight in body (only 9% ABV) and with the just the lightest bit of fizz, this wine can fit any occasion like a cheap suit fits a bad car salesman. Broadbent is a major player in the world wine trade, and as such, do not need my explicit support. But when the apocalypse comes, I simply don't want to be standing against them or their Vinho Verde.

They also show their terroir quite clearly, and represent a great alternative to the modern fruit-driven style. Vinho Verde is Portugal’s most famous white wine. Literally translated as "green wine," it...
