Braai Weeks at RED SIMON: Enjoying and Having a Barbecue the South African Way.

VOERDE, Germany - June 25, 2013 - PRLog -- Voerde (Germany), 25th June 2013. A typical braai is a barbecue event in South Africa with friends and family which lasts for several hours and at which hearty food is eaten and great South African wine is drunk. People talk shop about the right wood, the right meat and of course the right barbecue. For South Africans, braais are part of their cultural heritage; this is why it comes as no surprise that there even is a National Braai day which is celebrated along with the Heritage Day each year.

At RED SIMON, too, the next weeks will be all about the topic of braai. Selected wines that match a barbecue as well as typical South African barbecue recipes will be presented. As a special offer, RED SIMON has compiled a ‘Let’s braai’ package which includes several wines, South African spices, a barbecue apron as well as high quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Atmospheric home accessories round off the offering around barbecuing.

The main focus is on the accompanying South African premium wines. RED SIMON presents a special selection of the renowned wineries La Motte, Spier, Glenelly, Tokara and Warwick. The range reaches from tangy white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc up to fruity rosés all the way to the strong red Pinotage that is typical for South Africa. Gourmets that are up for a barbecue can find all of RED SIMON’s braai offers at www.red-simon.com.

You can win the right equipment with a fantastic giveaway: a Master Touch GBS by Weber is the perfect barbecue for a braai. Additionally, RED SIMON gives away three ‘Let’s braai’ packages for a successful barbecue.
