A warning to all you wine snobs.
and you beer snobs too.
I'm sure everyone assumes that since Spanish people are famous for their love of wine (and beer), they must have very high standards. I am sure that in some restaurants too expensive for me to afford, there are people doing the "Sideways" thing. But all the commoners here have a different way of doing things. And it just might scare the heck out of you snobs. They MIX. That's right. You can mix pretty much anything into wine and beer here. My favorites are the "tinto de verano" which is red wine mixed with sugar and soda water. Then there's the "calimocho" that's red wine (the cheapest box you can get is usually around 45 cents) mixed with good ol' coca cola. And for the beer lovers, there is caña con limon, or light beer mixed with lemon soda (usually fanta). I thought about trying to invent my own mixture. But I'm pretty sure it's all been done before!
