Well I usually go for the Riviera. But once I had to pick this one coz the usual was not available. This one was available for 160 Rs compared to the 320 Rs Riviera. And believe me, if you are a wine drinker (although Riviera is also not a very elite one) Mc Dowell Bosca Wine is not the one you should experiment with. If you are a wine drinker, you will whine. It is more towards a diluted vinegar kind of taste. And for the first time drinker, it might come in as a good buy. The price is very competitive though. At 160 for a bottle of red wine, its not bad at all for starters. But I wouldnt want to keep it at a party for guests, or for myself. Otherwise Mc Dowell products are good, or maybe the bottle that I bought was bad, overall, didnt like it.
