Happy World Malbec Day, darlings! π·β¨
Did you know the absolutely fascinating history behind your favourite glass of red? While Malbec originally hails from France, a devastating frost in 1956 tragically wiped out 75% of the French vineyards.
But never fear, Argentina to the rescue! Having already embraced the wonderful grape back in the mid-19th century, Argentina essentially βsavedβ Malbec. Today, they produce over 75% of the worldβs supply. Now that is a comeback story worth raising a glass to! ππ¦π·
If you are planning to celebrate with a lovely, full-bodied glass tonight, why not pop into the shop this afternoon to find the perfect book to pair with it? Whether you fancy a gripping thriller, a historical biography, or a romantic romp set in the sun-drenched vineyards of Mendoza, we have exactly the right read to complete your evening.
Cheers, lovelies! Have a fabulous day! π₯π
