Someone asked what was good about the wine, and decisively took out these two books! Share it with you who like to drink

These two books have been bought for some years, and they are taken out and turned over from time to time.
The little things about beer and wine jumped through my head over and over again. Always think of them at some point.
I'm not a drinker, but I don't hate the occasional drink either.
Of course, in addition to the "drink and drink" drinking behavior, I prefer to understand beer and wine through reading. About their history, raw materials, cultivation, production, sale, tasting, preservation...
Even if you only remember a little, the next time you drink, you will have a little more affinity for the liquid in the cup.
Wow, you're such a beer/wine!
49 things you don't know about beer
The book "What's Good about Beer" is equipped with more than 300 illustrations, using the form of "question + answer" to present the knowledge of beer through the way of daily people's cognition of "misunderstandings".
Don't say, there are really misunderstandings in these questions that I am accustomed to thinking. For example:
Myth 1: Beer is not nutritious
Myth 2: Beer of the same color tastes the same Myth 3: Beer has only 5 colors Myth 4: Draft beer is the best beer Myth 5: Beer is not suitable for meals Myth 6: France is not a beer-producing country Myth 7: Canned beer is certainly not bad Myth 8: Drinking beer will increase weight Myth 9: Hops are the main ingredient in beer Myth 10: Muddy beer is not normal Pick 10 of the 49 questions and it's enough to learn for a while. After carefully reading through this book, the most intuitive feeling is: beer is as exquisite as wine! It was we who underestimated it. Next time you drink a beer, mobilize your five senses to join forces!
Look: The appearance is the first impression that beer gives us. Just like the moment the dinner plate is placed on the table, you can know if it is your dish;
Smell: Admire the aroma of beer. Smell the beer in your hand / Turn the glass around to make contact with the air / When the wine in the glass is more than half drunk, the wine turns warm and will emit some new smells;
Touch: Touch the bottle and glass, the moment you touch, your sense of touch will indicate the temperature of the beer.
Taste: Different beers have different tastes – full, fine, deadly, refreshing, warm, bitter, soft...
Listen: The "sizzling" sound of bubbles
"Start with the taste and get to know the delicious beers of the world;
From history, understand how good beer is brewed;
Start with your choice and learn to taste and buy your favorite beer. ”
From the vine to the wine in the glass
And when it comes to wine, we subconsciously feel more elegant and restrained than beer.
Big za big drink =, small cup slow drink =
Middle-aged uncle with a round belly =, beautiful girl with a good figure =
Vest pants flip-flops =, long skirt evening gift with suit =
↑ All of the above are artificial
People unconsciously draw rules and boundaries for these two kinds of wines.
In fact, what kind of wine to drink is the same, as long as you are happy, comfortable, and happy.
If you know some background knowledge in the gap between happy moods, the feeling of "drinking and drinking in vain" can be less.
Unlike the previous book, "What's Good about Wine" does not take the form of answering "misunderstandings", but directly divides the knowledge about wine into 5 chapters, still with a large number of simple and easy-to-understand illustrations.
Chapter 1: Understanding the "Grapes" in Wine
Chapter 2: How Grapes Become Wine
Chapter 3: Tasting wine like a sommelier
Chapter 4: Saying Goodbye to Wine "Choice Phobia"
Chapter 5: Embark on a journey through the world's wine regions
At the end of the book, a Chinese-French cross-reference table of grape varieties and appellation names is attached for easy searching.
"Age, region, origin, variety...
The sommelier's knowledge of wine is widely disclosed.
