My boyfriend(now husband) starting drinking Mateus in 1970 when we started dating. Today is our 36th wedding anniversary. I bought him some Famous Grouse 12 year scotch, some Courvoisier VS Cognac, a bottle of Real Sangria (another favorite from the 70′s), and a large bottle of Mateus (to see if it would bring back any memories) — I just popped opened the Mateus to try it and was amazed at the number of bubbles. I did not remember so much fizz!!It was the Mateus in the flask shaped bottle, not their newer bubbling edition. IN any case, it is light, sweet, bubbly, and not bad. It’s like one of those white zins, or slightly sour Boon’s Farm…. Since I only drink white wines now, I will go easy on it… but, it isn’t as horrible as some of the reviews I’ve seen on other websites. I laughed about the Lancers and the candles stuck in these bottles. We did that, too! (Yes, we are now 60… college days seem far away and long ago…).

Ok, now that I have found like minded people who enjoy Mateus Rose, how and where do I purchase it??

Back in 1965, when I was a First Lt. in the USAF, stationed at Goose Bay Labrador, Matuse was our staple. We would buy it and drink it by the case. Only problem was that i couldn’t get myself to throw away any of the empties. Loved those bottles.

I have loved this wine since introduced to it in the ? 70′s. I had never drank wine before except for Gpa’s Morgen David Grape Wine. LOL But was on a convention in Denver and a gal from New York City asked if I would like to share a carafe of it. I didn’t want to act like a hick from the sticks (which I was) and said sure. Well that did it. I have bought it off and on every since. I have since acquired a taste for a little dryer wine, like Chardonnay, or Savignon Blanc but always love to treat myself with Mateus Rose occasionally. Which just reminded me, it’s time to find some again. I do love Two Buck Chuck’s Chardonnay and Savignon Blanc…..(Charles Shaw) but for a treat it’s always Mateus Rose!!!!!!!!! Reminder to self: Pick up some Mateus Rose soon.

Love this stuff! I like my wine chilled, and love the bubbly stuff, too, so this is a two thumbs up from this old hobo.

The bottles are great, too. Break off the neck and smooth the end on wet smooth concrete and it makes the best damn guitar slide I’ve ever used, and a true “bottleneck”.

I bought it because it’s my name. Well almost. Above average I think. Good stuff.

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.
