The only exception is wine.
What caused this prejudice against fruit wine? How does wine break through stereotypes and ride the dust?
Wine, the most important by-product of yeast "domesticating" human beings.
In order to pursue the excitement brought by alcohol, people who were the first to achieve a surplus diet offered extra food to yeast to make this chemical that does not provide heat but only stimulates the nerves. Grain starch, fructose, lactose ... All sugars can be yeast feed.
From gathering and hunting, to farming and animal husbandry, yeast makes people start to be insatiable for food outside their stomachs, and it also boosts the society from the side.
The food residue that yeast can't use becomes a part of the wonderful taste of wine, which is the dividing line of wine types and the most fundamental cornerstone of wine culture around the world.
In essence, grapes are indeed the most direct and simple source of sugar under the conditions of ancient technology.
This juicy berry is easy to cultivate and has high yield; In addition to water, the main components are glucose and fructose, two favorite monosaccharides of yeast; At the same time, the protein content of grapes is extremely low. Protein, which can't be decomposed and utilized by yeast, can attract a large number of miscellaneous bacteria pollution and even form flocculent floating objects, is the enemy in the process of wine fermentation.
More importantly, most of the grape skins will bring their own yeast. In fact, this is an instinct evolved by plants to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages: the frost on the surface of grapes is a sugar alcohol substance secreted by plants, which can attract yeast in the air to gather and form colony advantages, so as to avoid eliminating miscellaneous bacteria and prevent fragile berries from being contaminated by bacteria before ripening.
Humans have made use of these characteristics of grapes, crushed them and soaked them to make wine, which soon became the world drink of all mankind. At the last supper, Jesus said, "Bread is my flesh, and wine is my blood." Regardless of the mystery of religion, this statement actually proved the personal dietary preferences of the Bible writers and the status of wine in the European world at that time.
