The time when Gin was officially manufactured for commercial sales was clearly recorded (the origin of most wines is unknown, compared with Gin, it can be said that it is an odd number). Lucas Bols, a Dutch contemporary of Dr. Silviu, foresighted the possible commercial value of this formula, and added some sugar to the original Gin formula to make a sweeter and more acceptable gin. Bols, which he founded in Schiedam, the Netherlands in 1575, is still a major producer of Dutch gin and a pioneer in the commercial production of this gin.
At first, Gin was called "Genever", which actually came from the Dutch spelling of Juniper Berry (from Latin Juniperus, meaning "giving youth"), the main seasoning material in Gin. It is called Geneva outside the Netherlands. Because this name coincides with Geneva, a big city in Switzerland, many British sailors and soldiers who found Gin through the Netherlands mistakenly thought that Gin was from Switzerland. They brought the concept of Gin back to Britain, and called it "gin" for short, which is easy to pronounce and remember. Since then, a small number of British products have been made in Gin.
However, the key to Gin's popularity in Britain is William III, the husband of Queen Mary. William of Orange, who was originally the king of the Netherlands, was not only a fan of Gin, but also because of the war between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and the Netherlands and France at that time, he ordered a boycott of wine and brandy imported from France, and he was granted the right of exemption by opening up the use of grains from England to make spirits. This legislation can almost be said to create a very favorable environment for Gin, so Britain has since become the most important producer of Gin, even more shine on you than the Netherlands where it originated.
