A while ago I came across a red wine called Fókól. This wine has become my calling card - I first test drove it at the ATKV a year ago. I was recently there and I see my good friend Schalk Cilliers still has his bottle. The think I love about the wine is that there is no english on the bottle at all - everything is in Afrikaans. It's certainly not drinking wine but it goes down a storm.
The label on the back has the following words of wisdom.
Vir jare al is ons vriendskap Fókól werd. Deur dik en dun het jy my met Fókól bygestaan, gehelp met Fókól, en oor Fókól gepraat, daarom kon ons Fókól bereik. Omdat jy met Fókól tevrede is, het jy my ook geleer om van Fókól te leef, op Fókól te hoop in Fókól te glo en Fókól te verwag of te vertrou. Nou besit jy ook Fókól, kan jy ook Fókól bekostig, sien jy ook uit na Fókól, en leef jy van en vir Fókól. Ek bekommer my oor Fókól. omdat ek weet dat die dag van more vir jou Fókól in die sak gaan bring, en daarom is ek aan jou Fókól verskuldig. Baie dankie vir Fókól. 1998 ©
Thanks to Ostendo for transcribing these kind words.
And if you want me to do some work for you I'll throw in a bottle.
Awwwe delicious! You know what I want right now...? FOKOL!
