If you don't want to see the doctor, then you can beat the doctor and carry it, and you won't see where this is.

Tilting his head to look at Gu Liuxiao, since he smoothed her eyebrows, he didn't frown anymore, does it mean that his stomach doesn't hurt anymore.

The senses of sight, smell and taste are different. Excluding the pursuit of high-priced wines just to show off their status or show off, there are three reasons why the price of good vintage wines from some famous wineries or wineries is higher: first, the good flavor and texture of these wines have been the common preference of many people for hundreds of years; Second, according to the principle of economics, when the wine brewed in the same year is drunk and the supply is less than the demand, the price will of course rise; The third is that these precious wines are usually stored for a long time to mature, and as time passes, the transformation becomes more and more perfect, and the price becomes more and more expensive.

Some experts or those who have been tasting wine for a long time can indeed tell the vintage by the color of the wine, the grape variety by the aroma, the ripeness of the grapes by the mouthfeel, and can be described with very apt adjectives for taste and texture. The whole wine tasting process is like playing with rare treasures, and it is fun again and again.

Drinking red wine is more for the sake of savoring a trace of romance, in order to relive a leisurely feeling, and to review the romantic stories that have been soaked in red wine for centuries: whenever a special day comes, the handsome and understanding gentleman always brings a bottle of wine and a bouquet of flowers to his long-cherished lover, and then the two of them taste wine and fall in love together in the warmth of the moon before the flowers. This kind of romance makes the beautiful red wine even more poetic than the world.

Red wine is a living work of art, and its magic is because it is full of fresh life juice, contains profound historical connotations, and extends noble cultural accumulation. Tasting red wine, feeling joy, and indulging in mystery are naturally a rare and wonderful artistic conception in life. When you pick up the curvy, crystal clear tulip-shaped cup and play with it, sway it gently, listen to the pleasant sound of the ice cubes hitting the glass, and gaze at the rosy juice slowly flowing down the glass wall, revealing a charming luster like clotted cream, your heart is so peaceful, serene, harmonious and elegant. As the wine glass swirls and the aroma of wine rises, you hold your breath and come up, stretch your heart and inhale a faint fragrance, smell it again and again, and you can't bear to go down your throat for a long time; Then you gently take a small sip in your mouth, letting the delicate and smooth nectar ripple between your lips, teeth and tongue, and the fragrance that permeates your mouth will linger even after entering your throat. At this moment, your thoughts and feelings will slowly float and swim wherever you want to go – you will feel that wine is a romantic poem that burns softly in your life. That's the joy of wine tasting!

Nowadays, many people don't actually understand red wine, and most people drink ordinary red wine with sprite and lemon, and they compare the amount of wine with a glass of wine. Those who really understand wine think that "drink less, but better" is an immortal proverb when drinking red wine. Because red wine is the perfect combination of nature and time, it requires a lot of patience from the drinker.

Western food and wine are foreign products, but they have been passed down from generation to generation and have a commendable tradition. Wine tasting is actually a good way to slow down the pace of life, from aperitifs to dinner wines and desserts, there is a program, just like flowers blooming and falling, they are born in an orderly manner. Indeed, when you have a jazz piano and a beautiful singer singing for you, and a comfortable seat around your tired body, why not give yourself a break and let the fragrance of the cup bring you a piece of vineyard beauty?

If you were asked to taste a red wine that was your age, you wouldn't be so careless. The elegance and preciousness of red wine lies in the fact that it represents a condensed time, and the glass holds the labor of people decades ago, and at that moment, it is inevitable that there is some emotion. If it's a good friend, when you share with you that vintage red wine that has been treasured for many years and is reluctant to touch, it is enough to make people drunk first.

It is assumed that as early as 7500 BC, the grape varieties used to make most modern wines appeared in the Caucasus, in what is now Armenia and Georgia. In ancient times, almost all the countries bordering the Mediterranean cultivated grapes that could be used to make wine. The murals of the Egyptian pharaohs from 2000 BC depict every step of wine-making in ancient Egypt.

Wine was an integral part of the culture of ancient Greece and Rome. The vineyards of the Loire Valley in France appeared in the 4th and 5th centuries, and today France is one of the most prestigious wine regions. Over the centuries, the French have brought the art of winemaking to the realm of art, and many of the country's wine regions have become famous for their wines. This is not only due to the high level of winemaking of the French, but also because France is blessed with a unique climate and soil conditions, which produce a wide variety of grape varieties, which in turn produce a series of world-famous red and white wines, champagnes and cognacs, which are world-famous and intoxicating to many drinkers. The cooler weather in France has led to a longer ripening period for the grapes, allowing the grapes to develop more and richer flavours. French wines are elegant, noble and complex, but not everyone knows how to appreciate them.

In Bordeaux and the surrounding area are a number of estates dedicated to winemaking, often referred to as "Châteaux" or "Château". On such estates, the castle is often nestled in the middle of endless vineyards. Although the main buildings are of different styles, they are mainly based on the Renaissance and 17th and 18th century architectural styles. Bordeaux wines are known for their smoothness and softness, with a deep purple and bright color, a strong and tangy aroma, and a natural and flawless quality, known as the "Queen of French Wine".

The Bordeaux appellation is blessed with a unique climate and geography: it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, with a temperate climate and a variety of soil morphologies, where the Gironde River flows through which the vines grow optimally. The Bordeaux appellation is one of the largest producers of fine wines in the world, producing almost all kinds of wines: full-bodied red wines, spicy or sweet white wines, and rosé red wines, from fine wines to ordinary table wines.

The winemaking process is careful and rigorous:

The first is the so-called destemming, which is the removal of grape grains from comb-shaped branches
