Tokaji

This is a very strange wine. I tasted several bottles in the past and no one convinced me. This is a couple of labels. Maybe someone will be able to explain why this wine is so famous and easy-to-find, even at El Corte Ingles.
Comparatively, there are many other cheap and better sweet wines.
The funny thing is the name "puttonyos". Theoretically, the higher the number of puttonyos, the better (sweeter) it is.

Oye lo de los puttonyos esto es de broma, no?

And you are asking why this wine is so easy to be found and unexpensive? Well, the answer to the first question is: Smart Hungarian businessmen and not so smart Spanish drinkers. The answer to the second question would be: are you really going to pay for something with a label like that????? Better make it cheap, even for dumb drinkers....
