Picked up a bottle of the latest -- 2009 -- vintage of the white label Beyerskloof Pinotage at Morrison's ('reduced by 99p to £5.49')


Looking at it at home I was dismayed to see that it had been bottled in the UK. Never before has it been. I never by choice buy bulk shipped wines.

Then I noticed the appellation was Wine of Origin Western Cape when they've always been WO Stellenbosch.

I looked at the website. http://www.beyerskloof.co.za/wines.php?mid=13&pid=3

The label pictures show the 2009 wine is WO Stellenbosch with 14.5% abv

My wine is 14% abv

Different appellation, different alcohol level, same label....

I am disgruntled.

Fair enough. I would be too. Will investigate.
