Apolonia Wineshops

Apolonia Wineshop, with three locations spread across the Algarve - Almancil (in the golden triangle), Gale/Albufeira, and Lagoa - offers an extensive selection of wines, primarily in the higher price range.

Wine Assortment and Price Range

With a wide range of wines, both from renowned wine estates and under their own label, there's something for everyone. Prices range from a accessible 5.99 euros to an impressive 36,950 euros.

Organic and Vegan Wines

While Apolonia Wineshop offers a wide range of wines, the selection of organic wines is somewhat lacking. However, there are several options available for vegan wines, which adds a positive note to the assortment.

Apolonia House Wines

Noteworthy are Apolonia's house wines. The Apolonia red wine, priced at 5.99 euros, the Apolonia Selection for 9.95 euros, and the Apolonia Reserva for 14.95 euros. A promising selection, but the actual experience was somewhat disappointing.

Our Tasting Experience

After tasting the house wines, we must admit we were somewhat disappointed. The cheapest option turned out to be our favorite, while with the Selection, the cork broke and cork fell into the wine. The Reserva exhibited a somewhat acidic taste, not quite what we expected from a high-end supermarket and wine shop.

Conclusion

While Apolonia Wineshop offers an impressive selection, we found the house wines didn't quite meet our expectations. Perhaps we should take on the challenge and try that 37,000 euro wine after all. Who knows, it might turn out to be an unforgettable experience! 😉
