After you've chosen the food for your dinner, walk over to the wine aisles and choose a nice red, or white or cava to accompany the meal. You'll drink well for under 4 Euros a bottle (about $6.00 Canadian) although we have had lots of success with decent wines in the less than 2.00 Euro price. And there's the fabulous Asturian apple cider...for the grand price of .69 cents for a quart bottle. Chilled, it makes a delicious low alcohol alternative (4%)to beer or wine with lunch or as a cool drink on the terrace mid afternoon. Spanish champagne or "cava" is inexpensive enough to mix it with orange juice every morning should you feel inclined to start the day off in a sparkly fashion. And of course, brandy, gin and all the usual liquors and liqeurs are equally inexpensive. The only problem you should encounter in the face of all this largesse is self-discipline.
