Tasting wine in Moravia, Czech Republic. We were all volunteering in this small Moravian town, and found this lovely TINY little underground cellar/bar/tasting room in a passageway just a minutes walk away. They sold about 12 different kinds of local wine straight from the barrel – there were 12 spigots on the wall behind us – you can just see one on the left if you look – and people brought in their own bottles (of any size or type) to fill them with, charged by the liter. A great system because bottles are almost all marked with their quantity – most people just took in their old one liter soda or water bottles (we did). But tasting in the tiny cellar with the very funny and gregarious owner on the far left was so nice. At this tasting he insisted, after we had all had a number of tastes, that after each taste we had to sing a song from our country to the group – was hilarious.
You can see how we buy the wine in soda bottles here, as well as how we were having a pretty good time 🙂
