Ok.. Living in Saudi Arabia, a bottle of wine is always a treat. I must say I paid more for this wine than any one of you guys ever paid. It was 100 USD a bottle. I am not complaining since that’s a usual price for a cheap bottle of wine in Saudi Arabia.

I love wine and I travel a lot just to sample wine. This cheap wine was really amazing and it totally blew me away. It was cool and refreshing particularly in the desert’s unforgiving hot weather.

Cheers

I saw an old empty Mateus bottle on a shelf in my parent’s garage and was suddenly back to my Navy days,(early 70’s) when we drank massive quantities of the stuff. Much older, I’ve moved on to better wines, but I realized that you just don’t see Mateus anywhere these days. I would most likely cringe at the taste of Mateus or Lancers or Boone’s Farm now, but I can’t help but wonder what memories could be unleashed with just a sip of those old wines of yesteryear.

Loved the old recipe…..started drinking it in Vietnam when we ran out of water. (mid 60’s) and continued drinking it thru the 70’s. I stopped when the taste suddenly changed. I wasn’t aware that they changed the recipe……I want the old one back.

we had a blast on our Ireland trip back in 2008 – on one particular night we ran into a few bottles of Mateus at a wonderful restaurant. my God we hadn’t drank any of that stuff since the 70s (the Navy days). still taste the same (excellent) and the fun factor is still really potent – ha!

Kind of a special wine for me since my last name is also Mateus. I live in the southeastern New England area and your able to find it almost any place where wine is sold here. I did find an online wine seller that sells Mateus wine (I never bought from them or in any way have anything to do with them) for those who want Mateus wine but can’t get it where they live.

Look carefully at the cover of Graham Nash’s album “Wild Tales” – what’s that on the mantle behind his head – a Mateus bottle! Vintage 1973 in every way! Unfortunately I can’t find it anywhere down here in Florida, either . . .

Look at Graham Nash’s album “Wild Tales” . . . there is a Mateus bottle on the fireplace mantle behind his head . . . “vintage” 1973 ! Can’t find it anymore around here (Florida) either, unfortunately.

True it is a very nice wine, i live in Mateus where the wine is from so it is very easy to find .

Glad to know that people love the wine.

Mateus Rose is a magnificent wine to drink at any time, but particularly in the summer.
In Australia, we have very hot & long summers, particularly in the West. Then I buy three dozen at a time…getting a special deal from my supplier.
I find it best to drink rather icy. Before I pore, I take a bottle or two from the fridge (depending how many people there are) and put them in the freezer for about 45 minutes.
Like champagne, it is a wine which must be enjoyed at its coldest.

I love love love Mateus – it was big in the 70s, but I was little too young to be imbibing at that time, but its having a resurgence – good things never go out of style!!! It’s the best summer tipple – thank God I live in Australia, where it’s pretty much summer all year. I especially love it when they bring out the Christmas special with the little baby bottle (conjoined twin) attached!!!!!!!!!
