Now I just hope to have a glass of good wine in my throat to warm my limbs and spend a warm winter with you.

Like food, drinking is seasonal. Taking drinking in winter as an example, there has been an allusion of "cooking wine with green plums" in China since ancient times. I remember Wong Kar-wai once said through the mouth of the blind swordsman in Time Has Passed: "The more you drink, the warmer you get, and the colder you drink." So for people who love wine, it is natural to drink some wine to warm up this season!

It's freezing in winter, especially pay attention to health care. In addition to "food tonic", drinking a little wine properly in the cold winter is also very good for your health. Let's look at the benefits of drinking in winter.

Shu Jing promotes blood circulation

Wine can promote human blood circulation, and has the function of relaxing muscles and collaterals. Moderate drinking can also alleviate wind-cold-dampness arthralgia, joint pain and unfavorable flexion and extension.

Appetite digestion

Drinking a proper amount of wine while eating can stimulate appetite and promote food digestion.

Eliminate fatigue and promote sleep.

Moderate drinking can eliminate fatigue and relax nerves through the effect of alcohol on the brain and central nervous system. People with insomnia drink a small amount of wine before going to bed, which is beneficial to sleep.

Prevention of cardiovascular diseases

Moderate drinking can increase high-density lipoprotein in human blood, which can transfer low-density lipoprotein that leads to cardiovascular diseases from blood vessels and coronary arteries, thus effectively reducing cholesterol deposition in coronary arteries and preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Promote metabolism

Wine can promote human blood circulation, so it can also promote human metabolism. It can have a certain osmotic effect on the whole body blood.

Having said so much about the benefits of drinking, do you have the idea of having a drink? Then, I would like to recommend some wines suitable for drinking in winter.

1, white wine

Liquor, as a unique beverage in China, has occupied the minds of China people for thousands of years. It has formed a special flavor style with its unique brewing technology, and is especially suitable for drinking in winter because of its high alcohol content. Liquor generally does not need warm drinking, because liquor itself has a high alcohol content. After drinking, the body warms up like automatic fever, which naturally achieves the purpose of keeping out the cold. Of course, some people drink liquor enthusiastically, thinking that it can reduce the intensity of liquor and is a better entrance. However, some ester aromatic substances are sometimes lost. It has been found that alcohol will continue to volatilize after the heating of liquor is stopped, which will stimulate the eyes when drinking. In short, whether drinking white wine is warm or not is a matter of opinion.

2. Yellow rice wine

Generally, the temperature is below 10, and yellow rice wine is most suitable for warm drinking. Soak the wine in boiling water and heat it to 40-45. The yellow wine at this time not only warms the stomach and promotes blood circulation, but also makes people feel very comfortable. Adding shredded ginger or plum is a collocation method. Warm drinking yellow wine can not only make you feel more fragrant, but also make the wine taste softer. More importantly, in the process of scalding wine, some trace methanol, aldehydes and ethers that are harmful to human health will evaporate, and esters will surge out with the increase of temperature. Warm yellow wine also has the function of warming the stomach and promoting blood circulation.

As for whether strong liquor is suitable for hot drinks, it has always been controversial. Excessive temperature will destroy the taste of liquor, but after proper heating, methanol, acetaldehyde and other substances will be volatilized. It is worth mentioning that whenever drinking alcohol, it should be warm but not hot, because the boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water, and alcohol will volatilize first after heating, thus making the wine tasteless, so it can be warmer. In addition to Shaoxing yellow rice wine, Shanxi thick wine, Shandong Jimo old wine and Hakka Niang wine are all suitable for this drinking method.

3. Rice wine

Unlike white wine, everyone likes warm wine when drinking yellow wine, just like drinking yellow wine. The most typical example is that Cao Cao talks about heroes by cooking wine, and Guan Yu kills Hua Xiong by warming wine. The reason is that ancient people used to drink rice wine. Because there is no advanced production technology, there are many impurities in wine, which can be volatilized with a little heating, which is more beneficial to the human body. Even now, it is better to drink rice wine warm, which is sweeter, more delicious and mellow, without hurting the spleen and stomach, and the effect of dispelling cold and warming the body is naturally better.
