Do you know any stories or allusions about red wine? Demand. Huh

In France, only Château Dufort can use a statue of Napoleon as a wine label, because there is a story between Château Dufort and Napoleon!

It turned out that the beautiful girl who fascinated Napoleon's second lieutenant and lost a month's salary was the granddaughter of Jean Dewar's great-grandfather. They met in a tavern in Beaune, where the girl was a waitress at the tavern. Because he can sing and often sell good wine brewed at home to the tavern, he likes it very much.

Since meeting Napoleon, the two fell in love at first sight, even to the point of talking about marriage. Later, Napoleon was recalled to Paris, and before leaving, he gave the girl a ring, and promised to come to Beaune to marry the girl after retiring in a few years. The girl took it seriously, waited year after year, but waited for the news that her lover became the emperor of France.

At this time, the beautiful girl in the past has become a half-old, and only that ring has become a memory of her youth.

Later, Jean Dewar's great-grandfather learned that the Emperor of France had been fond of his granddaughter. He asked his granddaughter if she could discuss with the emperor and produce a wine named after him. The girl really wrote a letter and sent it to Paris.

It is said that Napoleon was in a particularly good mood when he received the letter, so he sent a messenger to tell the little girl in Beaune that the Emperor Napoleon had agreed to her request. The messenger also brought with him a portrait of Napoleon in military uniform standing by an oak barrel drinking wine with a military painter.

Later, this portrait became the label of this wine, which is still used today.

Stories about the god of wine in Greek mythology. Bacchus tied the ship of his disrespectful crew with vines.

Why does wine have a dry red?

That's a long story......

First of all, in terms of European eating habits. The eating habits of a region determine what kind of drinks people in that region go with their meals. There are only 3 ways for Europeans to cook:

Frying, roasting, boiling, they can't stir-fry, they can't stew, they can't steam, so the way of eating food is far less than that of China (no meaning). For example, Europe's favorite seafood, they can only cook it first, and then eat it with ingredients (not Chinese sauce bursting, braised and so on), so the seafood is often very light and sometimes has a great fishy smell. At this time, if it is paired with a sweet wine, the umami of the seafood will not only be masked, but the sweet and greasy taste will not be that I don't want to drink this wine next time, but I don't want to eat seafood!

Another example is steak, a slightly cooked steak sprinkled with pepper, which is really delicious! However, if it is served with sweet red wine at this time, the sweet taste changes the salty steak itself, and it does not bring out the strength of the steak. So they went to great lengths to get rid of the sugar from the wine!

And the order in which they eat is one by one, this one is finished and the plate is removed, and then the dish is served, and correspondingly, the white wine is drunk, and the red wine is drunk. Also, they love to drink coffee, and it's black coffee, because they like to eat bitter, so some of the wine is bitter and astringent, which is just right for their appetite ......

From the point of view of stuffiness, Europeans eat so much cheese and butter every day, if there is n more sugar in the drinks they drink, then their bodies will be dead long ago, so they rely on dry wine to support them here! Wine is rich in antioxidants, calcium and phosphorus and other minerals and vitamins, some of which come from grapes and some are produced during fermentation. The aromatic substances (such as polyphenols and flavonoids) produced also bring a variety of aromas and tastes to the wine, and wine tasting has become the greatest pleasure for wine lovers when drinking wine.

I don't think we can blame Chinese for drinking dry red with coke and dry white with Sprite, because we just like sweet tastes, we don't like to eat bitter! And there are so many Chinese cuisines, there are several dishes on one table, how can only one kind of wine be paired? However, mixing Coke Sprite not only conceals the characteristics of the wine itself, but also destroys the aroma and body of the wine itself.

Therefore, those who love to drink sweet wines can choose wines that are fermented by themselves, which have the aroma, taste and alcohol you want, and can also satisfy the sweet taste! The wine warehouse is full of all the types of wine you want.

Every wine with a little quality has its own story.

The history of red wine is too long, not one of them, but every winery has its own story.

It seems that a person who was passing by a vineyard accidentally stepped on a freshly picked grape, and when he returned to his residence, everyone else thought that the grapes smelled good, so after research, wine was invented.
