Taste Me, Rio de Janeiro

If you're looking for a bottle of wine that's a cut above the usual plonk, Taste Me is the place to come. Alongside delicious imported cheeses, chocolates, and other gourmet treats are countless varieties of wine – the majority imported from Portugal. Port wines are another specialty – those with cash to splash might want to try the Real Porto, aged for 42 years and costing a hefty R$720. Less pricey options include the Esporao Reserva, at R$85, and the Luis Pato, at R$64. This vast wine and food showroom also holds wine and cheese tasting events on the terrace, and it's hard to think of a tastier pairing. - Lucy Bryson
