This week we’re taking a little detour from property into one of the real joys of life in Spain: wine.

Sandra is joined by Linda from Winederlust Málaga, a wine and food expert from Manchester with over 20 years’ experience in hospitality, now based in Málaga.

Together they bust 10 of the biggest myths about wine, from dark rosé and “breakfast cava” to Sherry, screw caps, natural wines and that mysterious dip in the bottom of the bottle.

If you’re thinking about moving to the Costa del Sol, this is the kind of everyday culture that helps you feel like you live here – not like a tourist.

You’ll learn:

• Why darker rosé doesn’t automatically mean sweet or poor quality
• Why Sherry is not just for your granny, and how to serve it so it actually tastes amazing
• How “room temperature” red wine doesn’t make sense in southern Spain – and when it’s smart to chill your reds
• When screw caps and boxed wines can be a quality choice for young, fresh Spanish wines
• What the “ABC club” (Anything But Chardonnay) is
• Why checking the “legs” or “tears” in your glass tells you more about alcohol and temperature than quality
• The real difference between organic, natural and mass-produced wine
• Linda’s favourite wine areas around Málaga and Ronda, plus the Wine Trails that take you through the most authentic local bars
