The HBO epic drama that has accompanied us for 9 years, this magical epic forged by blood and flesh, has finally ushered in the end. Everything in the end seems to tell us that it is a game of thrones, ten thousand times more brutal than a dramatic romance novel.
This is the world of dragons and magic, and dragons once soared in the skies of Valyria, the capital of magic.
This is the world of knights and thrones, and there is no eternal kingship in the wars of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.
This is the world of power and desire, justice and conspiracy, chaos is the ladder up.
This is the world of fire and wine, and wine as a hidden thread is interspersed in all the stories.
In this game of thrones, alcohol is everywhere. Whether it is a prince or a nobleman, or a commoner, whether it is court communication or social struggle, in which almost everyone drinks wine as water. Watching the power tour is like watching a "history of exotic wine tasting".
We can even say: Game of Thrones without wine, not called Game of Thrones. The basic characteristics of Game of Thrones are not just "every episode must die", but "every episode must drink". Today, let's take stock of the people who love to drink in the power game.
Victory in the Usurper's War led Robert to sit on the Iron Throne.
But since taking the throne, Robert has become a spokesman for decay
He was not a good emperor, nor was he a good husband.
After marrying Queen Cersei, she has always thought of Lyanna Stark
Causing Cersei to hate him to the bone, the supreme marriage fell apart.
Robert's wine represents depravity and indulgence.
He was born free and loved wine as much as he wanted.
Often drunk from morning to night, drunk and drunk like mud.
The most common saying is the phrase, "More wine," asking for more wine.
Due to years of drinking, his world is chaotic and confused, full of wine.
Whether he was on official business or out hunting, alcohol was always with him.
In the end, alcohol also became the biggest culprit in "killing" him.
During one of his hunts, Robert drank three times as much spirits as the guards had secretly changed.
He drank too much alcohol and was eventually stabbed to death by a wild boar.
The little devil is the "god of wine" in the play.
Martin once described the little devil in his original A Song of Ice and Fire: "The light poured down, and his figure crossed the courtyard." At this moment, Tyrion Lannister stood tall, as if he were a king. ”
It is said that in all the shots about drinking in the first six seasons of Game of Thrones, the Little Devil topped the list with 91 times. Not only did he love to drink, but he also left many famous quotes:
"I'm the god of tits and wine."
I drink, and I know things."
Everything’s better with some wine in the belly."
Every drink Tyrion takes place, representing the bloom of the light of wisdom.
Of course, the most famous is the small devil's cup of wine to release the military power.
When Snow first appeared, he was only the illegitimate son of Ned Stark, even too humble to be able to share a purebred ice wolf.
But his true identity is that of Rhaegar Targaryen, the son of a man entitled to inherit the Iron Throne, which dooms Snow to be unable to do nothing in this life.
Borrowing wine to dispel sorrow is the main color of Snow's drinking.
He is a sword in the darkness, a guard on the Great Wall.
He is the flame that resists the cold, the light that breaks the dawn,
He is the trumpet that awakens the sleepers and the shield that guards the kingdom.
He gave his life and glory to the Night's Watch,
Tonight, night and night.
Robert's queen, princess of the Lannister family.
"Scorpion Beauty" Cersei is also a veteran wine lover in the game of thrones.
She can drink everything and drink very well.
Cersei's wine is a condensed embodiment of various emotions.
I don't know if it's a coincidence of fate or a run-in in reality.
Like her husband, she hangs on the lips of the same sentence:
"More wine", "Come, pour wine!"
Whether it's in celebration of success, or in a sad time when you're depressed.
The wine always stays out of her hand, but depending on the posture and drinking style, it represents her different state of mind.
But reality is not the same as that psychedelic continent,
Pure spirits are no longer needed in this era.
There are waves of sparkling wine, and each of its flavors is so distinctive. The fusion of fruity aromas and wine aromas can make us drunk like little devils; the refreshing taste of bubbles can make us drink like hounds; the slightly drunken feeling makes us drink freely like Cersei. This wonderful and wonderful taste is the most suitable wine for our drama chasers.
Although we still have difficulty accepting the ending, the smoke that has been spreading on the continent of Westeros for 8 years has finally dissipated. Here, raise the sparkling wine in our hands to pay tribute to Martin, to the protagonists of the game of thrones who have lived through eight seasons, to pay tribute to the game of thrones.
