Tigers Milk

[Caran]

Does anyone remember this wine of a long time ago?
At the time I used to drink this regularly. But I can't find much about it now.
I think it was a sweetish reisling.

Found this on-line.

Ranina Radgona Tiger Milk 1953
Radgona (Povardarje)

£82.97

Out of stock but I wouldn't pay that for a bottle of wine.

[Caran]

My goodness, I can't believe the price. It was about £2-£3 a bottle about 30 years ago.

I don't know if that was the brand, all I remember is Tigers Milk.

I used to drink Bulls Blood....

But it upset the local farmers.

This is on a wine chat site - dated a good few years ago though.

Guess what I found last week? Yes a bottle of that oh so memorable Tigers Milk. I bought a bottle immediately and when I got home I stuck it in the freezer for a quick chill....tasting it already! mmmmm mmmmmm
You can get yours in the wee grocer shop between MacKays clothes store and MacBeaths the jewellers in Thurso, £3.99 a bottle which is very cheap by today's standards.

That's a long way to go for a bottle of wine!!
