Hi there,


I was wondering if you can tell me if a bottle of Portuguese wine I have is drinkable and if it's worth anything? It's a 1983 Garrafeira Serra from J. Serra & Sons Ltd. Lisboa, Portugal It's a table wine, red. It has a number 037764 out of 50,000. I would really appreciate that and thank-you so much.



regards,





sylvia

My mother enjoys a drink made with "gingas" called jurpiga. Can someone tell me what the name of the fruit is in English? Thank you.

Sandy, As far as I'm aware, the closest comparison we have in english to a native Portuguese ginja berry is a cherry.

Troy · 1 year ago

and Sandy, a xaropiga or jaropiga is often a home-made fortified wine made from or flavored with whatever the winemaker might choose. the "ginja" is, as Gabriella noted, a morello cherry, related to what we normally call a cherry (and which the Portuguese call a "cereja"). the morello is a kind of a dwarf cherry tree. "ginja" or "ginjinha" is a brandy or liqueur made from ginjas. I love the stuff, but some people say it tastes like cough syrup.
