• Have you ever seen wine that is cheaper than water? I sure have not, until I decide to walk into a convenience store in Chiang Mai.
On this trip, our hotel is conveniently located near a convenience store, manned by a local that I enjoy having little conversations with and polish up my Thai at the same time. One night, while browsing for some interesting snacks and drinks, these wine coolers catch my eye. (Okay, so they are wine coolers, not wine per se, but still!)
As you would see here, the labels look quite attractive with a vintage feel. The bottle caps are the screw-on variety so there is no need to hunt for a bottle cap opener.

These wine coolers come from the Thai Full Moon brand and are available in two flavours – red and white. Each 300ml bottle has a 5% alcohol content which is hardly detectable in taste, but it’s there all right if you know what I mean.
The drink tastes mostly sweet, almost exactly like grape juice. I like it so much that I’ll go back for a second round.
And can you believe that it only costs about a dollar each? At that price, it really is cheaper than water.

Veron,
It’s a Great article you have written on Full Moon Wine Coolers.
I came across it last Dec 2011 in Beach Road, Pattaya where wine promoters gave me a sample to taste. I was instantly hooked! Between lunch and dinner I had more than 6 bottles of Full Moon. It was indeed cheaper than water!
Keep up the great writing.
