An Affordable Bottle Of Bubbly From An Unlikely Source

This Porsche Wine Will Definitely Give Those Air-Cooled Bores Something Else To Be Snobbish About

On its website, the wine is €19.50 per bottle, which shakes out to about $22.65. That’s not bad! It’s still about $12 more than my cheap ass is willing to spend, though.

Getting your hands on it isn’t the easiest, though, according to Motor1:

Getting ahold of a bottle of Cuvée 356 is a bit tough. Bottles are available from the Porsche Museum, or you can order a glass with a meal at the Christophorus restaurant in Stuttgart. Folks with a German address can order it directly from Porsche, but you have to get an 18-bottle case, which costs 366 euros ($425 at current exchange rates), including shipping.

Listen, if there’s a wine-lover’s will, there’s a way.

The 12 Modern Rules For Drinking Wine

5. Don’t assume you know what your favorite type of wine tastes like

• Turns out, it's not all about the more you know... “The more you know about wine, the less you know,” says Twomey. You might think your Pinot noir tastes weird, and some might even argue with their server or bartender about it (and subsequently make a tool of themselves), but it tastes different because of the terroir. You can plant the same grape in California and South Africa and British Columbia and it’s going to taste differently because of the soil, as well as the climate, and the way the winery harvests and peels the grapes once they’re ready to be made into wine.

8. Do not assume that the food you pair with your wine has to be conventional

• Good wine and good food always go together, so arbitrary rules like “steak can only be enjoyed with red” and “fish should only be had with white” actually make no sense. “There are fantastic red wines that I’d drink with fish and white wines that work well with red meat,” says Marci at B&B, where a rich Chardonnay is a favorite pairing with some of their burgers. And if you find the right red, you can even pair it with sushi.
