Travelling With Ryanair To Malta and duty free Maltese wines

The flag of Malta is red and white, just one of the things I learned on my trip to Malta. Tickets to Malta on Ryanair in off-season February were a bargain, about £37 each way per person, still under £100 per person return for a warm break in a country which was new to us.

You do have a small allowance for your check-in bag and your carry-on bag. We had our own hand-held weighing device which we used when packing the night before. Malta is not the rocky, grey outcrop I had imagined, but a colourful country, with red and white flags and red and white wine grown on vines in the green fields and hillsides. (More about the colours of Malta in my next post.)

This small weighing device we took with us to use on the return trip to check our souvenirs had not added too much weight. The advantage of buying your wine to take home at the Malta airport from duty free is that you are beyond the weighing point.

The red bottle has the red wine and the white bottle has the white wine. These wines are not too alcoholic, only 11.5% for the white and 12.5% for the red, so you can drink more of the white without getting too tipsy. As the back of the bottle tells you the wine is produced and bottled for the Nuance Group by Emmanuel Delicata winemaker at the Winery on the Waterfront at Paolo. 

I thought the red and white bottles were rather jolly, to display when talking about my travels or Maltese wine to a group such as Toastmasters International Speakers clubs. Afterwards when the wine has been drunk, you have a rather jolly pair of bottles to display or use as flower vases.
