Portuguese custard tarts and cut-price booze? The sweetness of the tart would completely ruin the taste of the red wine. Only a glass of a sweeter style of Madeira (I recommend the Bual) should be taken with those tarts.


I don't think Teribus mentioned 'red wine'. That is your translation.
What he said was 'cut-price booze'. By your own statements on the other thread your 'Bual' which you consider suitable for drinking with the tarts was 'cut price booze'.
"We went to Blandy's for a tour and a Madeira tasting. The five-year-old Bual was on special offer so we bought six bottles,"
