One of the first posts was a review of a bottle of sweet Moldovan red wine, called "Kagor".
Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to find in the shops, possibly due to where it is from.
Thankfully, today I read that the EU is likely to agree a trade-deal with Moldova next year to give them better access to the EU for their products.
As the piece points out, one of Moldova's main exports is wine.
When the agreement is signed, I guess that it will make it easier for me to get hold of Kagor!

Kagor
A couple of weeks ago I saw a bottle of mysterious red wine in an eastern European food shop near our Tube station.
I had no idea what it was called because the front label is in Russian*:
However, I am reliably informed that it is known as "Kagor", and that it comes from the Château Vartley winery in Moldova.
It's quite a sweet red wine, but not too sweet. It's probably best described as a dessert wine, although the Russian label states that it is a cabernet sauvignon.
* Thankfully the back cover was in German, which described it as "south Moldovan red wine".
