I think it’s quite a liberal country. Apparently Morocco has good wine growing country so surprised if they don’t drink it.

Have had a few Leo beers after a hot day on the course 36C now enjoying a dry white while watching the golf from Dubai.
A 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape, absolutely lovely drop.

Picked up some Poretti yesterday in Aldi - I'd imagine it's their own brand of Moretti - anyway, it's nice.

Right, makes sense - I better stock up on the good stuff cos no doubt it won't taste so good for long if Carlsberg have owt to do with it...

Moretti was bought by Heineken.Right, makes sense - I better stock up on the good stuff cos no doubt it won't taste so good for long if Carlsberg have owt to do with it...
Heineken closed the Moretti brewery and switched production to one of their own breweries.
Italian government forced Heineken to sell the Moretti brewery to Castello.
Heineken still own the brand name Moretti.
A pint of Moretti is actually a Heineken from a Heineken brewery.
A pint of Castello from the old Moretti brewery is a Moretti.

I read his post. I don't believe I missed anything.
He speculated that Poretti might be Aldi's version of Moretti. I found that interesting. So I added my view on lager brands.
I mentioned that Moretti is really Heineken and that Castello make lager at the Moretti brewery.
Poretti, Moretti, Heineken and Castello might all be different lagers altogether. But not necessarily what they each appear to be by brand name.
This evening, I've had a couple of glasses of South African Pinotage 14%.

I'm enjoying a small livation of Tesco's Bardenet Spanish brandy with a dash of cola 
A delicious bottle of red, Chateau Lynch-Bages, Pauillac 2021 that came highly recommended from a colleague. Stunning.

Aldi do a lovely big bottle called Rossini too, my usual drink is peroni and it’s a little like that except probably a lot cheaper, I’m sure the big bottle is about £1.40, pours perfect into a pint glass after a day or so chilling in fridge.
They also do birra mapelli I think it’s called which is their take on Moretti I think, similar brown bottle, it’s okay but would definitely recommend trying a Rossini

On the subject of Italian lagers, I was in Naples last year and a favourite was this little stumpy brown bottle, red and white label called Ichnusa, it was lovely and could get it everywhere, seemed to be their stock beer every shop, restaurant etc.
