Rose Wine - Mateus

[flipflop104]

How do you pronounce it? We have an ongoing debate in our house - one camp says it should be mat-ee-uss wheras the other camps says it should be ma-tyoo-ss.

So how do you pronounce it?

pink wine , : )

It's pronounced 'rubbish'.

There are some superb ros� wines available but Mateus definitely isn't one of them. Worse still, Mateus was responsible for the decline in sales of some really great ros�s. (People tried Mateus and thought that all ros�s would taste like it).

However, to answer your question:
Back in the days when Mateus was widely advertised on TV, it was always pronounced 'mat -ay-us' (with the stress on the second syllable).

I'm in flipflop's house and it looks like my camp has won the battle....hooray!

Don't knock it, Chris!

This was my first (and a lot of others as well) wine back in 1960 something and we really thought it was the height of sophistication. I remember drinking with a meal at a Chinese restaurant. How daring!

I would say Mat-ay-us too, thats what they called it when we were in Portugal
