Vina Sol and Gran Vina Sol are very tasty but quite sharp white wines. Very common in Spain and I have seen it in the UK at times.
Parellada, a traditional white grape, is what gives Viña Sol its distinctive fresh fruitiness.

This is a wine I have occasionally drunk in the UK and at other times in Spain. It doesn't dissappoint. Somewhat cheesy pictures on the label, but look past that.

I had thought this was actually called Mahon, for some reason. From the same outfit that make San Miguel. You can buy it in 1 litre bottles !

Spanish beer from Tenerife.
Like most beers its brewed locally by a majot Corporate - SAB.
The Canarias Brewery was formed in 1994 from the merger of two Canary Island breweries, CCC and SICAL, both of whom had been established at the start of the 20th century. The brewery produces the beer brands, Dorada and Tropical, and brews under licence various global brands, such as Carlsberg, Pilsner Urquell, and Guinness.
