Ah you are mistaking me for someone who has at some point in their life, been to America.
I am British and although I have been abroad to France and Greece that is as far as I have ventured.
Of course the Germans may be keeping "the good stuff" for themselves and only selling shit like Blue Nun (Blech) to us brits.
This would not surprise me and also explain why I have never had a decent german wine.
Oh no, I'm sorry! You all look alike to me
Blue Nun, oh horror, that is the English label for the infamous Liebfrauenmilch. That stuff is like the synonym for all that destroyed the reputation of german wine.
