After-dinner wines include Porto and Madeira. Alcohol locks the sugar in natural grapes and prevents them from further fermentation. Other wines, such as scotch whisky or cognac, are pure alcoholic beverages, and it takes time and time to brew the taste of wine. In fact, you don't need much background knowledge to taste wine after dinner. The most important thing is to learn how to use your nose and mouth and fully enjoy the pleasure brought by your senses. If you plan to order a glass of sherry after a good meal, you will find that the wine in the glass is slightly sweet. Sherry, like the elusive sherry in Moorish palaces, is a mixture of wine and spirits, just like port wine. The difference is that sherry adds spirits at the end of the fermentation process, instead of adding spirits during the fermentation process like Porter. All classic sherry is not sweet, but if you plan to order a glass of sherry after a good meal, you will find that the wine in the glass is a little sweet. People often mix old unsweetened sherry with a little sweet sherry and store it for many years. Therefore, the taste of wine will be extremely complex, as elusive as a Moorish palace. Taste sweet sherry, such as Matusalem from Gonzá lez-Bujas and Solera 1842 from Valdez-Pi Nuo, all of which are mixed with aged dry sherry with different flavors. This is a mouth-to-mouth carnival, which makes you as fresh and excited as Chu Qing after the rain. The brewing of sherry can be divided into biological method (direct fermentation of grapes) and chemical method (relying on oxidation process). Amontillado and Palo Cortado sherry are brewed by combining these two methods, and the result is like a symphony orchestra. Wine gives off different aromas, elegant green leaves and nutty flavor, just like the sea breeze stroking, which makes people memorable. Because dry sherry always has some bitterness, there is Pedro Jimenez. PX is a dessert in sherry. It is all made of wine, and its black color is like engine oil. It is unique when mixed with the dry sherry of those years!
After a full meal, a glass of cold and pleasant port wine with a plate of roasted almonds is really delicious! The most beautiful alien
In fact, port wine was no different from other wines when it was first brewed. The difference is that when the wine is just partially fermented, a large barrel of cold brandy is poured into it, and the fermentation process will stop immediately, and the alcohol concentration will soon rise from 6% to 19%, and the fermentation will not continue. But at this time, the wine still retains the sweetness of the wine and the sugar in the grapes. The best grape for brewing this wine comes from Porto in the Douro Valley in the mountains of Portugal, hence the name. Porter wine is mainly divided into two categories: dark porter wine and light porter wine. Light-colored Botto should be brewed in wooden barrels before bottling to obtain a smooth and smooth taste. On the contrary, dark, red and black Porto wines should be bottled and sealed as soon as possible, and rubies are the most famous of these wines. You will also see some other brands in the market, such as Cockburn's special reserve, Graham's six grapes, fine wine and so on. Dark Potter is best stored at a relatively cool room temperature, and 19 degrees Celsius is the most ideal. Light port wine should be chilled before drinking, especially in summer. After a full meal, a glass of cold and pleasant port wine with a plate of roasted almonds is really delicious!
The best rum to drink after a meal is durable, and it is usually much stronger than the rum used to make mixed wine. Nectar made of molasses.
Rum comes from sugar water, which can be obtained from fresh sugarcane water, but more is from surviving syrup or molasses. Sweet water must be fermented first and then distilled, and the rum obtained is either light or strong, or somewhere in between. At first, this wine was colorless. The color of rum comes from the barrel in which it is stored. The longer the wine is stored in the barrel, the darker the color. The best rum to drink after a meal is durable, and it is usually much stronger than the rum used to make mixed wine. There are few spirits like rum. Rum is produced in the whole tropical region, especially in some small countries and islands, but if these wines want to enter the market, they will be controlled by some big countries, companies and brands. As a result, the ingredients of the mixed rum we drink may come from different countries thousands of miles away. Therefore, if you want to drink pure rum, at least for now, it is still an unattainable thing. In the Caribbean and its surrounding tropical areas, there are many intriguing high-quality rum. Jamaican appleton Manor 12 years old has a spicy and smoky taste; The most famous rum in Haiti is sold under the Barbancout brand, showing aristocratic style; Huang Jinguo special reserve rum in Guiana is rich in layers, which is much softer and more durable than other rums. Havana Club is the most famous rum brand in Cuba, and Havana Club in 15 is the most unforgettable one.
Most mixed whiskies are drunk before meals, while most single malt whiskies are drunk after meals. Beautiful scenery from the highlands
In Scotland, whisky is usually stored in wooden barrels for at least three years before it can be sold. Only this kind of wine can be called "Scotch Whiskey" (or Scotch Whiskey for short). There are many kinds of whiskies in the world, but none can compare with scotch whisky. The grains, ancient barrels, clear streams, cool weather and foggy air in the Highlands of Scotland make the whisky produced here unique. Scotch whisky is divided into two categories, one is single malt whisky, and the other is mixed whisky. 95% of Scotch whiskies sold all over the world are mixed whiskies, such as johnnie walker red label with mellow taste, famous grouse with elegant smell and black bottle with smoky aroma, which are all classics in mixed whiskies. Perhaps for some people, mixed wine seems to be less personalized and spicy than pure malt wine, but the price is really cheap. Compared with pure malt liquor, many drinkers say they can drink mixed liquor better. They think the latter is softer, fresher, smoother and full of affinity. Therefore, the output of blended wine naturally increased greatly. Most mixed whiskies are drunk before meals, while most single malt whiskies are drunk after meals. However, nowadays, some blended wines are slowly being drunk by people after a meal, such as the luxurious ballantine 2/kloc-0 vintage wine and the refreshing johnnie walker black label wine, which have now become a beautiful scenery in people's drinking glasses.
Smoke and earthy smell are typical characteristics of Shanyi wine. Armagnac
The feeling of being hugged.
Amai and Koenig are the two most famous brands of brandy in France. In contrast, cognac is more elegant and exquisite, and the aroma is overflowing after pouring wine, just like the chandelier hanging on the top of the restaurant, radiant; On the other hand, amayi wine is exciting and even crazy, and it is sometimes considered as a rude drink in the French countryside. Smoke and earthy smell are typical characteristics of Amai wine. You will feel a little spicy and exciting, with the fragrance of wild mushrooms and jumping leaves. After drinking a glass of wine, you will immediately feel embraced, but this wine will never have a low-paying job and an uncomfortable experience. Amai's hometown is Gasconi, where rugby is more popular with local people than football. Amai is not dominated by large brewers like cognac, and the strength of cognac makes Amai inconspicuous. Janneau is the largest manufacturer in this area, and Comte de Lauvia and Marquis Montesquieu are the other two larger manufacturers. Don't expect Amai to taste the same every year, it's impossible. Every year will be different, even every barrel and every barrel of wine will be very different. Some colors are light and soft, while others are heavy and thick. Being older doesn't necessarily mean being better. You need to discover the rich autumn world in wine with your heart: the taste of nuts and fallen leaves, the richness of toffee, the sweetness of roasted oranges, the moist mist and, of course, the pleasure of burning after drinking.

Graba is an Italian brandy. Grappa means pomace in the local language, and its raw material is a local pomace called Vinaccia grape. Italians like grappa very much. It's Italian malt whisky, Italian cognac and Italian bourbon. There are many kinds of grappa wine, and the packaging is very eye-catching. As we all know, Italians value refinement and despise rudeness. Therefore, Graba wine merchants not only pay attention to the sensory enjoyment of wine, but also have great ingenuity in the packaging of wine. Graba wine is usually packed in a beautiful flask. In Italy, you will see a small shop selling grappa, just like an ancient drugstore, filled with all kinds of narrow-necked wine bottles, which is very interesting. Many grappa wines are distilled from the pomace of various grapes. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to meet different old friends in the cup, such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Black Pi Nuo and so on, which is also a pleasure in the process of drinking Graba. Other grappa wines, such as barolo, Chianti and Amaron, also have the tradition of Italian wines. Clear grappa is usually aged or just stored in glass bottles. The color of wine indicates the storage time in wooden barrels and the degree of aroma. After dinner, drinking a glass of grappa for many years, with a little vanilla, is like starting a refreshing journey.
Tequila is lively and exciting, and is often used to make cocktails. American concentrated heart
Among the raw materials for making alcoholic beverages, you can't find anything more special than the agave heart, the raw material of tequila. Blue agave is a kind of lily, which grows in the dry and dusty semi-desert area of Mexico. The hard flower heart has been lignified and cannot be eaten. After a day and a half of slow cooking, turbid juice can be extracted from it for fermentation and wine making, and then distilled and purified. Suddenly, a magical manna was born, just like a concentrated American heart. This wine is full of strong roasted peppers and peppers, and it is subtle and stable. We see that all tequila sold in the market describe themselves as "100% tequila" because they are all made of pure tequila. The best aged tequila has the following brands: Chinaco Anejo, which is as smooth as butter; Don Julio Reservation, which is calm and mellow; El Tesoro Anejo, which is complicated and exquisite (also sold as Tapatio); and Jose Cuervo Reservationa de la Familia, which is surprisingly elegant in taste and packaging. Tequila has the unique fresh taste of peppers and vegetables, which makes many people enjoy and indulge in it, and feel the lasting and far-reaching call from nature in the cup.
Cognac is a gift from God to delicious followers. A gift from Xanadu
Just as whisky is distilled from beer, brandy is distilled from wine. Where there is wine, there is brandy. However, you will never find any brandy that can rival cognac in taste. Just take a sip of a dry mouth and let the wine slowly slide down your throat, as if all the essence of heaven and earth were gathered in it-the smell of earth and grass after rain, the wild flowers in spring, the spirits flying in the hive, and the fruits falling under the fruit trees on sunny field paths-surprisingly, cognac can include all these. Cognac, located in the west of France, is a sunny, quiet and peaceful place, just like a paradise. The quality wines and wines produced here are naturally unique. Cognac has six subsidiary regions, the most famous of which are the Grand Champagne Region, the Small Champagne Region and the Bordeaux Region. You must have seen these names on the wine label. Why champagne? This can be traced back to Shakespeare's time. In Twelfth Night, there is such a passage to describe an open country: "Under the sunshine, the land is endless." This sentence, like cognac, can stand the connection of time. Generally speaking, the sold cognac should be stored for at least three years; Many winemakers produce for 8 years or 10 years; XO will be stored for 20 years or more. The most expensive cognac was even preserved for 40-50 years before it was finally airlifted to duty-free shops in Tokyo or Singapore. However, the world of cognac is also full of changes. Martell is charming and powerful, Rem Martin has lively and provocative fruit fragrance, Hennessy exudes earthy fragrance, and Dramane is as soft as a silk scarf with a wonderful aftertaste.
