Naomi’s been getting her apartment alll packed up for a move! While moving prep has included enjoying a decent amount of bottles with friends and family just to lighten the load before moving day, we kept a bottle in mind to enjoy while actually doing the brunt work.
Now this is a surprisingly delicate pairing. The wine needed to be light enough that it wouldn’t induce a nap and stop productivity, but also needed to be zippy enough so that running out of bubble wrap becomes an “oh well” moment and not a freak out.
Aveleda Loureiro Vinho Verde ($15) is exactly what you want in a Vinho Verde (a light, white wine from Portugal) – crisp & mouth watering with flavors of green apple, citrus zest and a little salinity. And at 11.5% ABV, this is the perfect easy drinker to sip on and keep your cool, even if your home is in a state of total chaos. Already packed up your corkscrew? This bottle has a screw top!
