The best Irish wine is made by a Spanish couple
A couple from Madrid who have lived on the island for 20 years own the largest vineyard in Ireland. Their wines, favored by climate change, are making a name for themselves in a country that predominantly drinks beer
The Irish county of Wexford has the most hours of sunshine on the entire Emerald Isle and one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Curracloe, where the movies Saving Private Ryan and Brooklyn, based on the memorable novel by Colm Tóibín, were filmed. Fans make pilgrimages to Enniscorthy (the writer’s hometown and where the beginning of Brooklyn and its sequel, Long Island, take place) to take a tour of the filming locations. They all end up at the Stamps Bar, which is very similar to the pub run in fiction by Jim Farrell’s character, with a pint of Guinness in hand. But this image may have its days numbered because it is no longer so self-evident that in Ireland, you can’t drink anything else.
