There are many ways to classify wine. In terms of finished product color, it can be divided into three categories: red wine, white wine and pink wine.
6. Rice wine
Yellow wine is one of the oldest wines in the world. The quality of the yeast species determines the quality of the wine. It originated from China and is only found in China. Together with beer and wine, it is also known as the three major ancient wines in the world. About 3,000 years ago, during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Chinese invented the unique double fermentation method of distiller's yeast and began to brew rice wine in large quantities.
7. Baijiu
Liquor is the general name for Chinese alcoholic beverages (except fruit wine and rice wine). It is also known as Shaojiu, Laobaigan, Shaodaozi, etc. Chinese liquor has a compound aroma with esters as the main component. It uses koji and distiller's sake as saccharification fermentation agents, and uses starchy (sugar) raw materials through cooking, saccharification, fermentation, distillation, aging and blending.
The impact of alcoholism on health
1. There are different opinions on whether alcohol is beneficial or harmful to the cardiovascular system. Some alcoholics drink more and more on the grounds that alcohol can pass through the bloodstream, and their addiction becomes more and more serious. As everyone knows, there is a problem of quality and quantity in the benefits of alcohol to the cardiovascular system. That is, low-alcohol alcohol is beneficial to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases when consumed in small amounts, while strong alcohol and heavy drinking are harmful to health but not beneficial.
2. Some experts believe that among many wines, red wine is more effective in preventing cardiovascular disease than white wine and other wines. As for the amount of alcohol consumed, it is better not to exceed 50 ml per day.
In healthy people, the cardiac systolic function can be reduced after drinking alcohol, and this change is reversible. In addition, drinking alcohol can increase the heart rate and dilate peripheral blood vessels, which is detrimental to some patients with cardiovascular diseases.
3. I advise you not to be greedy for what is in your cup. Middle-aged people who already have drinking habits should limit and reduce the amount of alcohol they drink; it is better to drink low-alcohol alcohol during holidays or when gathering with relatives and friends. Patients with existing cardiovascular diseases You must stop drinking, especially children and teenagers.
