Top 10 Trending Wines [South Africa] 8 February 2013

Haha! Would you look at that... Chateau Babbelaas is trending at #1! Sorry for the name, but that's a dear part of most South African's wine upbringing. Get in there and tap YUM, HMM or YUK - let's see what you REALLY think :)

Interestingly enough, it's a 2008. Either y'all are collecting, or someone hasn't uploaded a new bottle. Use this as an opportunity to upload the 2009/2010/2011 and you can supply the picture...

Focus. Back to the point. Here's your shopping list ladies and gents. Enjoy!
