OK,  photo of a bottle of red wine. Some of you may have seen one or two before. This one though claims to be Asturian, where we don´t make red wine... Or white wine, we only make cider. And it cost me - and I flinched - 4 euros. 
But research reveals that it´s made in El Bierzo, a small area famous for having gold-mines where the Romans invented earth-pollution by fracking and where the Romans got most of their gold, in mines in an area called Las Médulas, which can still be visited. El Bierzo is said to have a Mediterranean microclimate because it´s on the mainland side of the Cantabrian mountains but is exposed to the mountains of Galicia and Asturias, with which it has borders. If we give it the benefit of the doubt this wine may have been produced just over the Asturian border. 
If it makes it to your Brexit-afflicted supermarket shelves, though: don´t flinch: it´s worth your 4 pounds...

And later research changes that  - it's made in Cangas de Narcea, close to the border but definitely in Asturias. 

 I tried, but failed, to link you to   Phoebe Bridgers singing So Much Wine, which is supposed to put you off it. paste in  youtube+phoebe bridgers+so much wine
