| #5 Whoda thunk a Moldovan city name would have a dratted filter word buried in it? |

| #4 Real emetic fans will also go for a Glodeni Muddy, and a prize winning Cuvee Reserve Château Bottled Nuit San Milestii Mici, which has a bouquet like a shepherd's armpit. |

| #3 Quite the reverse is true of Château Hurlgut, which is an appellation controlée, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation; a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends. |

| #2 Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is Purcari Pink. This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is 'beware'. This is not a wine for drinking, this is a wine for laying down and avoiding. Another good fighting wine is Tamaioasa Old-and-Yellow, which is particularly heavy and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat. |

| #1 A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Moldovan table wines. This is a pity as many fine Moldovan wines appeal not only to the Bassarabian palate but also to the cognoscenti of lower Poughkeepsie. Black Stump Batuta Neagra is rightly praised as a kvass flavoured Pinot Gris, whilst a good Singerei Syrup can rank with any of the world's best salted wines. Château Barza Alba, too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn. Old Furmint 1998 has been compared favourably to a Texan claret, whilst the Moldovan Wino Society thoroughly recommends a 1990 Kvint du Stefan cel Mare, which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: eight bottles of this and you're really finished. At the opening of the Soroca Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the Nistru shallows every half an hour. |
