    Any stories of wine in Asturias? The wines of cool-climate neighbors in Galicia and País Vasco get well-deserved acclaim, and Rioja sits nearby and prints money; do you know of any brilliant vintners in Asturias doing fascinating things?

    Please also feel free to discard that question if you prefer to discuss Asturian cider and beer!

      I’m not big into wine, but I do recommend trying “Orujo” if you have a chance; It’s a type of schnapps made out of fermented grape skins and we mix in other flavors making it into a cream almost, like honey or local nuts.

      We mostly make Cider, I asume by now you’ve already seen the traditional way of pouring it.

      You put the glass in front of you and pour it from as high as you can stretch your other arm so that the stream hits the side of the glass. This helps aerate the cider and makes it taste different.
