You absolutely have to be in the right mood for Vinho Verde. It doesn't have the interest to match with food, unless perhaps half a grapefruit with a cherry in the middle, but as a summer aperitif, I imagine VV is a valid option.

Our favourite wine was Quinta de Azevedo 2008, which is £6.24/4.99 from Majestic or £5.99 from Waitrose and it was really rather lovely. Yes, both wines are pretty petillant, bordering on being downright sparkling, and low in alcohol (sains 9%, Azevedo 10.5%) but if the weather continues to improve, a chilled glass on the patio, after a hard day on your knees with natty little gloves on, could be just the thing.
