Where there is no wine there is no love. Euripides. Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy. Benjamin Franklin. February is the month of love, and what pairs better with love and its celebration, than wine? Not much, to be honest. However, there are a few things that match perfectly with the amazing pair of love and wine: flowers, chocolate, the perfect surrounding, and, of course, the most special company!

Jorge, it had never crossed our minds that it would be just the perfect setting for all kinds of super romantic...

At our Wine With a View trucks and also online, we feature the Aliança Sparkling Bruto and Rosé, which are some of the best examples of a sparkling Baga wine. The Aliança caves were founded in 1927 and bought by the Bacalhoa vineyard in 2007. Francisco Antunes is the prize-winning enologist from the Aliança Caves, where our unique sparkling wine is...
