Gervas is the national drink of the fighting nation of Russians, and its raw material is dalepa, a drink made by fermenting and filtering bread and water first. It has been sold in Northeast China since 1960.

Process and content of grog

Brown bread (usually leftover bread) is sliced or diced and dried, then boiled water and yeast are added, and it is fermented for 1-2 days, then filtered and ready to drink. The resulting gewürztraminer is low in alcohol and rich in lactic acid, vitamin B1, vitamin E and amino acids, which are also good for the body.

Origin and origin of Gewürztraminer

As to how it was born? There are many legends, one of the more plausible is that a hotel owner felt that the guests dropped on the table of the bread crumbs pity, so they are collected and put in the bottle fermentation, and later found that the taste is actually very good on the popularity of it. Whether it's true or not, this drink is a perfect use for leftovers.

In Russia, people can't eat without a glass of grog, and drinking a glass of frozen grog in the summer is the biggest treat. And in China, people in the northeast are actually quite familiar with it, which has a lot to do with Russian colonization in China in the late 19th century, as well as ethnic Russian influences.

Difference between Chinese and Russian Gavas

While the Gavas that everyone drinks in China are drinks that are automated and produced by large factories, in Russia, many people drink Gavas that they brew themselves.

True Russian gavas are actually on the sour side, with a slight beer flavor, but only about 1% alcohol and very low in sweetness, whereas Chinese, for example, Wahaha's gavas add a lot of sugar, instead of the wheat that is the raw material (the bread is made of wheat), which is very low in content.

But as for drinks, it largely depends on personal taste. I'm surrounded by people who prefer Wahaha's Gavas, after all, humans are just naturally irresistible to sweetness.
