Spoiler alert! No clear winner. The debate between screw cap and cork closures for wine bottles continues to captivate enthusiasts and industry experts alike. Screw caps, known for their convenience and consistency in sealing, prevent oxidation and cork taint, ensuring a fresher taste over time. Conversely, traditional corks offer a sense of ritual and romance, potentially allowing beneficial micro-oxygenation that can enhance the aging process of certain wines. However, corks can sometimes suffer from cork taint, leading to spoilage. Each closure has its proponents, and the choice often depends on the type of wine and personal preference. #thewinebuffkillarney #thewinebuff #snippets #screwcap #cork #debate #winepreservation
New In
A truly elegant Pouilly-Fumé with a sunny character.
Notes of peach and apricot on the nose, very smooth on the palate. Flavours of grapefruit and lemon, and a fresh finish with great length.
Best served as an aperitif, and goes perfectly with fish and shellfish.

We really deserve a weekend of tranquility, sunshine, and a glass of rich white in the garden. #thewinebuffkillarney #thewinebuff #winesofportugal @quintadoparal_portugal #alentejo #bankholiday #chill #enjoy #whitewine
The Kisfiam (“my boy”) is the only certified organic Egri Bikavér (Bull’s Blood). It is characteristic of the blend, with spicy forest fruits, vibrant acidity and medium tannins. Rich, structured and lively. Notes of cherry cobbler, herbs and spices on the nose, with raspberries and zippy grapefruit on the palate and an earthy long finish. Unfiltered and unfined. Blaufrankisch, Syrah, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc. It’s a beautifully balanced wine, one of the favourites of our customers. #thewinebuffkillarney #thewinebuff @bukolyimarcell_organicwines #redwine #eger #organic #bullsblood #lambchops #kerrylamb #hungarianwine #simplepleasures #alfresco
A stunning day on Sunday at the @traleefoodfestival2024 Really enjoyed doing our wine tasting with a very enthusiastic crowd who hopefully got to taste some great wines and learn just a little bit more about wine.
Looking forward to next year already 🍷😎

Mules are essential on the steep hills of Priorat. They are resilient and hard workers, without them it would be impossible to look after the vineyards. #thewinebuffkillarney #thewinebuff @laconreria #priorat #hardwork #manual #mule #beautifulnature #organicwine #respect
Ahhh, the vibrant scents and flavours of the Mediterranean! The true elixir of long life. #thewinebuffkillarney #thewinebuff @poderiparpinellowinery #sardinia #cannonau #enjoylife #mediterranean

You haven’t lived if you haven’t tried Priorat.

Elixir of the Gods. In The Wine Buff all over Ireland.

Indulge in a moment of pure tranquillity. Brilliant, deep ruby in colour, with a rich nose of crushed raspberry and strawberry with intermingling of herbs and liquorice. Juicy and lush on the palate, packed with red fruit, and white pepper with supple tannins. In The Wine Buff nationwide. #thewinebuffkillarney #thewinebuff #greatwine #vacqueras #chateaudesroques #serenity #confidence #quality
Winemakers in Chablis are taking precautions in the vineyards and are lighting up the torches.
The funny weather in the first four months of the year is causing later budding, so, hopefully, even if there’s frost, there won’t be as much damage as in 2022.

Listen to Hans telling us about the Zweigelt.
It's an easy drinking wine that you can have practically with anything. Great with BBQ.
Find it in THe Wine Buff nearest to you or order it online.
