The French like delicate drinks, so we must slowly slide the wine from the tip of the tongue to the throat, because once the wine falls into the esophagus, it will not taste the best, so the better the wine, the slower it will be. French champagne and wine are world-famous. Champagne is for celebration. As long as there are festive days, the French will open champagne and raise a glass to celebrate. But don't use champagne with barbecue, because the smell of smoke will take away the smell of wine.
When drinking French white wine and red wine, there is an unwritten rule that "white wine with fish, red wine with meat". Moreover, white wine should not be too cold, and red wine should not be too warm. In addition, the wine glass is also learned. The goblet can keep the palm away from the wine, that is, it does not raise the temperature of the wine. It is not easy to be a "doctor of wine". There are several schools in France that specialize in training such students.
British "Whiskey" was officially put into production on 1839. Today's "whisky" is brewed from rye, oats, corn and other raw materials. As the British say, "mixing is an art". The most imitative Japanese have always wanted to know what the "mixed" art in Britain is, but until now, they have only imitated the "art" of amateurs. British people's ability to mix wine is far behind.
The Japanese seem to regard drinking as a job and report to the bar every day after work. They often make important decisions not in the office but in the bar. Whoever gets promoted always drinks, and the bar has become a paradise for Japanese men. After work, I soaked in the bar and dragged myself home. Most Japanese drink in this way to get rid of the pressure of work.
Korean wines are lighter and have lower alcohol content than Japanese wines. No wonder in Korean dramas, both male and female protagonists can drink a glass of "booze". Korean drinkers have also developed a way to improve the taste of wine: adding lemon juice and sea salt to a glass feels as refreshing as drinking tequila in a bar.
Germany is famous for its beer, with beer festivals, beer gardens, beer sausages and beer underground houses. Germans enjoy beer in different ways. German beer mug is the largest wine glass in the world, and one glass can hold one liter! In addition, there is the saying that "beer is cold" and "beer corpse", which is puzzling. "Cold beer" describes people who are natural and graceful, and "beer corpse" refers to people lying on the side of the road who have drunk too much.
Mexicans also like to drink beer. Beer is not only their drink, but also their food. Mexican beer is unique. Their beer is made of agave, which is latex-like and should be drunk on the same day after brewing. If one day you can fly to Mexico and drink a large glass of tequila beer, it will definitely be a pleasure.
Italian drinking culture: you will get drunk at every banquet.
Italy is a country addicted to alcohol. Italian dinner is world-famous. Every meal is bound to be drunk, and once drunk, they don't care about time and often drink until late at night. Their most popular wine is a kind of wine called "Vino".
Greek slightly drunk culture
Greece is one of the four ancient civilizations, and its culture is similar to that of China in many aspects. Greeks like to drink, which is very similar to China. The most famous wine in Greece is "Uzo", 42 degrees. Its reputation in Greece is no less than that of Wuliangye in China, but its price and sales volume are almost the same as that of ordinary wine in China. When I see Greeks taking bottles or even plastic buckets to pubs to play with wine, it is as familiar as seeing Beijingers buying Erguotou and Laobaigan. The taste of "Uzo" is a little licorice. Put some ice cubes before drinking, and then shake them a few times. The transparent liquid will turn white, look soft and taste good. Greeks think China's wine is delicious, but in Greece, it can only be drunk in Chinese restaurants, and the price is very expensive. In Greece, people usually go to restaurants and bars to drink. Unlike China people, they don't eat and drink at the same time, but simply drink, and bring some dried fruits and olives at most.
Greeks drink at lunch and dinner, and like to drink and have fun until late at night. During the festival, young men and women drink to their heart's content. If they are keen on doing business with the Greeks, they will inevitably drink strong Greek coffee and strong Greek spirits (ouzo). If they refuse rashly, it will be considered a disgrace to each other. They also use a little drunkenness as social manners.
Poles usually drink hard liquor before meals and sweet wine after meals.
Portuguese drinking culture: men, women and children love to drink.
Portugal is the country that likes drinking wine best in the world. In this country, people have an indissoluble bond with wine, which is an essential drink for every family. Men, women and children, before and after meals, love to drink and like to entertain people with wine. In their view, a man is a man only if he drinks. It is said that there are tens of thousands of hotels in this country with an area of only 880,000 square kilometers.
However, what is even more surprising is their exquisite drinking style: drink aperitif before meals and digestive wine after meals. In this process, they should also drink different wines according to different dishes, such as red wine when eating meat, white wine when eating fish and sparkling wine when eating snacks. This traditional and strict way of preparing wine has been passed down to this day, and it has become a etiquette and habit of the people all over the country in entertaining guests, business banquets, social occasions and family banquets. In Portugal, when you are invited, you must drink. If you don't drink for a reason, they will think you look down on them. Actually, don't worry, the wine here is different from that in other countries. It is said that it is cheaper than water and has low alcohol content. Drink some wine with your meal. Never drunk, and this wine is full of fragrance and worth tasting.
Spanish drinking culture: drinking standing up
Strolling through the streets of Spain, you can find that almost three or five steps is a pub, and even some streets are full of green pubs. Cities are no exception, and rural areas are no exception. Even in a remote mountain village, there must be a pub with less than twenty or thirty households in the village. These pubs are not only places for drinking, but also places for people to chat and get together with the whole village. In Spanish pubs, guests come and go, like shuttles and people are crowded. So most people drink standing up, few people sit down, and some pubs don't even have chairs.
American drinking culture: health
Americans' love for spirits is also famous in the world, but their drinking habits have changed since then, that is, from strong dark wine to light wine, and more people like to drink beer, wine and fruit wine. According to statistics, from 1975, the consumption of British whisky in the United States reached 13.6%, and then fell to 1 1%. On the contrary, in the past 20 years, the sales of low-alcohol liquor in the United States have increased by about 30%. Americans generally believe that "light wine is more beneficial to health than dark wine." This change in American drinking has a great influence on the world drinking customs, reflecting the general trend of the world drinking customs.
