    “Whine, whine, whine, whine . . . . ” ;-)

    But, for it to be truely judged a 'people's wine', it s fragrant nose has to appeal to both the descamisados AND the gorillas.

    Argentinians had some decorum - their cami-disrobing was above the waist - unlike those great European revolutionary wine-drinkers that displayed sans-culottes!

    At 20 to 24 pesos a bottle it is out of range for the majority of the Peronist sweaty masses, so any plans to get them suitably pissed for the elections will be a dismal failure

    Marcos Alejandro, you can be very certain that neither myself nor the vast multitude of friends that I have would even have the label in our houses. I would suspect that the anti-Peronists who are delighted with its “flavour and fragrance” is another case of bought votes. I personally detest anything that carries the name of a pro- Nazi scoundrel and to boot a ruddy paedophile. The Peronists conveniently forget that after Evita's death he took on Nelida Rivas - a 14 year old - as his lover. He picked her up at the UES (Union of Secondary Students) where he would get his little girls and give them motor scooters for their favours.

    Enjoy the whine...sorry wine.

    Marcos Alejandro. Research and you will find, though Dr Emilio Fernandez Gomez de Pomar, historian and economist (now deceased) told me that Peron had a lot of documentation unfavourable to himself destroyed. To answer your question more fully I searched and found this link

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Per%C3%B3n ,

    Nelida (Nelly) Rivas can be found under the heading of Peron's Second Term (paragraphs 6 and 8), and Marcos I don't whine, I state facts which the gottverdammt Peronists don't like.
