Regardless of the north, south and east, people's enthusiasm for spring picnics has always been high. The sprouts of grass that emerge from the soil, the flowers that bloom in the branches, the soft wind that blows on the surface, the warm sunlight that hits you, all call you into further contact with nature in a gentle but full of vitality.
As one of the parts of the spring picnic, the small matter of eating and drinking has become the focus of many people's attention. Simple bread and ham sausages were the standard in childhood, and in the adult world, finding the right wine and eating foods to make you happy is the ticket to the happy planet of "picnic". If you haven't figured out what to buy for your picnic, then you might as well take a look at this recommendation, of course, we also have another recommendation for friends who drive, after all, "drinking without driving, driving without drinking" should be a rule that every adult obeys.
Come with a little breath and relieve the heat
This will be hot season, but where the slight movement range is larger, there will be some thin sweat on the body, and a glass of beer or sparkling wine with bubbles is the best choice.
It's a bit of a fantasy to take out a refrigerator at a picnic spot, but it's not hard to do so with ice packs, ice cubes, and beautiful portable ice buckets — think of ice packs that come with foam boxes when you buy foods that need to be refrigerated, and this reuse can really help the environment. Of course, at this time, the car Xiaoice box will also be particularly useful, if there are not many people, a few cans of craft beer can also meet the needs.
Dried rosé sparkling wine from Austria's Budmel winery, with its fruity, fresh and crispy aromas, is perfect for a romantic picnic atmosphere
Sparkling wines are available in a wide range of types, from sweet to dry, and the price range is also very wide. Asti sparkling wine from Italy has a sweet taste and the price is often around 100 yuan, which is the favorite of many female consumers, but if you want to pursue a drier and fresher taste, then Cava from Spain, Sket from Austria and Germany, etc., are very good choices, of course, in all the sparkling wines, champagne can create a sense of atmosphere may be better, but the high price of a single bottle blocks the footsteps of many people, if you are not bad money, then this is indeed a choice that can not be wrong.

Compared to sparkling wines, the choice of craft beer should be more careful. This is not because of the price, but because the flavor of craft beer is really diverse, such as Shitao beer aged in oak barrels, not only the alcohol content is not low, but also the flavor is extremely strong, and it is difficult to please everyone on a slightly hot spring day. Session is an exception, not only is it not high in alcohol, but it also tastes more refreshing, drinking without stress, and from the beginning of its birth, this beer is designed to allow people to enjoy life during work breaks.
In addition, some fruity beers are also a good choice, such as apple, berry or peach flavor beer, refreshing, easy to drink and no pressure is a must pay attention to when choosing a picnic beer.
Let Riesling travel with your taste buds
If you had to choose a static wine that is suitable for drinking in the mild heat season, what would you choose? Most people will probably vote for white wine, but it is also a light, fruity and pleasantly acidic wine that has not passed through oak barrels, after all, for the taste buds, only these configurations of wine will not tire themselves in the hot summer days - and most Rieslings just meet these requirements.
As a white grape variety with a distinct personality, Riesling has now become a grape variety cultivated in the world's mainstream wine-producing countries, but if it is the real "happy hometown", it has to be Germany. Whether it's the climate, the soil, or other details, Riesling from Germany has attracted a large number of fans with its charm.

Depending on the terroir and brewing techniques, German Rieslings also show different styles. Some may have attractive mineral aromas, others have a greater emphasis on floral and fruity aromas, while some drinkers and winemakers will follow the variety's aging potential and the flint flavor it exhibits, while others will prefer to pursue the little natural sweetness of the semi-dry Riesling... But in any case, in the gradually hot spring, drinking a cup of ice to the right Riesling is always a thing that can not be wrong.
Alcohol-free can also be rewarded with happiness
If you want to have a little grade and a sense of ceremony in the overall specifications of the picnic, you have to prepare some accessories, such as the classic rattan picnic basket, a beautiful wine glass, a picnic mat with some design, and more exquisitely, maybe ice buckets, knives and forks, dinner plates, etc. If you want to bring these things to the picnic site at one time, you may really need a car and a driver.
As an adult, "drinking without driving, driving without drinking" is a basic principle that must be observed, so the question is, how to let the driver who bears the responsibility of driving can also participate in the activity without drinking? Just get him some non-alcoholic drinks that are just as delicious.
