Loosely translated to 'Beer is made for man, wine is for the Gods. I disagree', being a lover of both. I found this in Panama's old town, and it is a must for you wine lovers.

Bucanero Fuerte is definitely the best out of a not too great selection. Make sure you get the Fuerte as it has more flavour.

Another Quito local.
