($10, Now Wine Imports):  Aveleda’s Vinho Verde is the perfect antidote for the current heat and humidity gripping the East Coast.  A blend of a number of Portuguese indigenous varieties, chiefly Loureiro and Alvarinho, it’s refreshingly crisp — almost spritz — and cutting.  It awakens the palate with a grapefruit or green apple-like zing.  Weighing in at under 10 percent stated alcohol, it’s light yet memorable.  And look at the price!
