NEW WINES IN REGULAR ASSORTMENT MARCH 2024 (12-05-2024 by Nenad Jelisic)
NJ Wines has tasted all Systembolaget's new wines in regular assortment March 2024. The wines got the following points (Note that the wines are arranged in alphabetical order, that the wines that have got more than 3,0 NJP, if any, are presented or will be presented under "Make sure to try these wines, wines that have got at least 3,5 NJP of possible 5,0 NJP", that NV = non-vintage wine, that Systembolaget = a government owned chain of all liquor stores in Sweden and that NJ Wines does not taste wines from Boxes, Paper-packaging and PET-bottles because NJ Wines believes that these types of packaging destroy the wonderful wine culture. The Boxes also make people drink much more than they should.):

PROVINUM CELEBRATES 10 YEARS - THE BEST BIG WINE TASTING EVER (30-03-2024 by Nenad Jelisic)
Wow! What a fabulous wine tasting! The best big (big = wine tasting where wines from many wineries can be tasted) wine tasting ever. NJ Wines has participated in big wine tastings where 10% of the tasted wines got 3,5 NJP of 5,0 NJP (85 points of 100 points). Like for example the wine tastings organized by the world's best wine magazine Decanter in London. NJ Wines has also participated in wine tastings at some exceptional wineries where 100% of the tasted wines got 3,5 NJP or more. As at Enjingi's winery in the Venje appellation in Croatia and Edi Simcic's winery in the Goriška Brda appellation in Slovenia. But NJ Wines has never before participated in any big wine tasting in Sweden and in the rest of the world where over 21% of wines got 3,5 NJP or more. And this happened during Provinum's 10 years anniversary in Stockholm on March 2, 2024. This says a lot about this brilliant wine tasting and Provinum's brilliant wine portfolio. Bravo Provinum!
SWEDISH BRAND CELEBRATES 25 YEARS (23-02-2024 by Nenad Jelisic)
What a wine tasting! All 183 wines, which were available to taste, 3 Calvados and 1 Armagnac were tasted and rated by NJ Wines. Typically, about 3% of wines that have been tasted during a major wine tasting get 3,5 NJP (out of 5,0 NJP) or more. During wine tasting on the 19 of February 2024, just over 8% of the tasted wines got 3,5 NJP or more. That says a lot about this brilliant wine tasting. Bravo Swedish Brand AB! At the same time, NJ Wines can conclude that Swedish Brand AB's strong point are wines (and a calvados) from France, and this is also reflected by the list of the best of the best presented below. The company's wines from (in alphabetical order) Argentina, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States were also tasted, but they did not reach the same level as wines from France's Bordeaux and Burgundy wine regions.
