Underwhelming. Chalamée was decent, but film lacked soul IMO.

Changed!

Weird that they don’t name me - always seems to happen when they do a “story” on a foreign writer’s report about the city.

But at least they’re addressing the market, I guess!

Even Brut is only 12g / litre.

Thanks Shawn -the problem with these alcohol-free wines is that they tend to be very sweet “por cada 100 mililitros, aporta 10,7 gramos de hidratos de carbono (de los cuales 10 gramos son azúcares)”. The driest cava has less than 3g sugar / litre.
