Thanks Gypsy, I will drink them when I get out, very nice of you.

I'm sure Tenerife has been famous for wines for centuries. They've got pedigree!

Didn't some wineries in Tenerife get fined recently for importing grapes and selling the wine as "Canarian"??

Don´t know but then I stick with buying Mercadona white and red in €0.90 litre cartons which is a touch above vinegar. Ideal for cooking.
