Halloween is one of the liveliest and most joyful holidays of the year in many Western countries. What should have been a religious holiday has evolved into a carnival where halloween is seen as an opportunity to have fun, tell ghost stories, and scare each other.
Although Halloween is not a traditional festival in our country, in slightly larger cities, various entertainment venues have held various theme activities related to Halloween. Especially this year, the eve of Halloween happens to be Saturday, and I believe many friends will be eager to participate in or hold some parties.

Olinsway Winery Chinese Baby Rosé Wine

Because the owner majored in art and politics in college, his wine labels are very artistic, and this Chinese doll peach is a mixture of Grenache and Syrah, and the pictures selected by the label are chilling, and the mutilated limbs appear naked on the label, which is most suitable as a Halloween wine.
Vampire Winery
Vampire
If you say, the first 2 wines are just one of the more unique among the many wines in the winery. The winery, which is simply named "Vampire", has a sense of "all-evil". Originally, the winery was located in Transylvania, known as the "homeland of vampires", and the winery was directly named after it.
Red Devil Wine
Locker Del Diablo
Coincidentally, on the other side of the Americas, the Chilean Dry Dew Group also has a set of wine series that is very much in line with the Theme of Halloween - Red Devil. Legend has it that after Mr. Don Melchor, the founder of The Dry Dew Winery, made a fine wine, there were always people in the local area who wanted to go in and steal the wine. In order to prevent the wine from being stolen, Dry Dew made up a lie about the devil in the cellar, which really worked. Subsequently, the name Red Devil came into being.

Crystal Skull Vodka
Christal head Vodka
This Canadian-made crystal skull vodka, which sells 10 million bottles a year worldwide, has become popular. The story behind this crystal skeleton is also very emotional. In the legend of the Mayan civilization, there are 13 crystal skulls in the world, which contain important information about the origin and development of human beings, and even help humans solve many unsolved mysteries. So, when you finish drinking this bottle of vodka, you can see if you have learned important information about human development!
Ice Ghost Vodka
Frozen Ghost Vodka
Vodka has always given people a cold and cheerful impression, and freezing in the refrigerator and drinking it is also a favorite drinking method for many senior alcoholics. And this new brand of vodka from Michigan, the United States, just doesn't want people to drink well. Imagine that there is a ghost that you have frozen in vodka, do you dare to open it and drink it?

Just a chili pepper is estimated to be enough to choke, but also added to the vodka, it is simply spicy and spicy! The devil skull on this wine label is still looking at you with fiery eyes, do you dare not drink it?
The ghost story of the whisky distillery
The wine horror alone is not enough, the whole winery is terrified that is the ultimate. On Halloween, while drinking whiskey, I tell the ghost story of this distillery, and I feel excited to think about it
Granluth "Toast"
Biała Macara and Gran Luce Whisky Distillery
Built in 1879, the Glenrothes whisky distillery was originally known for blending whiskies and is now a famous single-wheat whisky distillery in the Speyside region. Legend has it that in the early 20th century, during the Second War of Bohr in South Africa, British officer James Grant rescued a young boy named Biawa Makalaga from Zimbabwe and took him with him as an assistant.
After the war, James took Biawa back to his native Scotland. The officer was the owner of the Glen Grant distillery, not far from the Gran Luth Distillery, and it was only natural that Biawa worked in the distillery until his death in 1972.
In 1979, the Gran Luce Distillery was expanded to prepare for the installation of 2 new sets of stills. At the time of installation, some workers were afraid to say that they saw the figure of Biawa appearing between the distillers twice. This sounds ridiculous, but it aroused the interest of a university professor, Cedric Wilson, who took the initiative to investigate the distillery and claimed that the installation of the stills had destroyed the local "spiritual vein". He then went to the town's cemetery and spoke for half a day to a tombstone. Since then, the distillery has not had any strange incidents, and according to the "eyewitnesses" at the time, the tombstone was Biała's.
For this matter, we don't know, we don't dare to say it, let's just listen to it as a story. However, the staff of the Gran Luth Distillery continued the "toast" instead. Every year I send some to that guy, of course, with Granluth single-wheat whiskey.
The double ghost of Jura Island
Jura island belongs to the Inner Hebrides Archipelago, with an area of 366 square kilometers, but in 2001 the total population was only 188 people, which is a rather remote and desolate land. In 1781, Laird Archibald Campbell, then the governor of Jura, announced a ban on distilling spirits on the island, and Chula no longer produced whiskey.
However, one midnight 29 years later, Laird suddenly woke up from a dream and saw an old woman hanging by his bedside, resenting his policies for making the island's whiskey scarce and unsatisfied. On day 2, a frightened Laird repealed the act and decided to invest in a distillery, the Jura Distillery, established in 1810, in a cave where whisky smugglers had hidden.
Later, the distillery survived the shutdown, whisky tax reform and other blows, and there is still a 16-year-old bottle of whiskey in the depths of the cave to appease the soul of the old woman.
But that's not the end of the story. One day in 2010, Elvis, the "factory cat" of Jura Distillery, suddenly changed his temperament and kept screaming into the air. Joan Charles, who calls herself a "psychic," came to the distillery and claimed to have felt the presence of "a majestic, powerful, but kind female soul," even asserting that the man's name was Elizabeth Quinn. The winery manager, Willie Cochrane, was surprised to hear the name, and years ago there was actually a female teacher named Elizabeth Quinn in the town.
It turns out that female teachers also like whisky... In short, the whisky of the Chula distillery is still quite popular with female ghosts!
The Headless Horseman of the Pomo Distillery
The story begins with Lachlan Ban, a farmer on islay. One night, when Lackland returned home, he saw a "headless horseman" rushing out of his house and leaving. Lackland ran into the house in a panic and found that there was inexplicably a bottle of Bowmore whiskey on the table, and the cap was still open. Apparently the headless horseman had "drunk."
Out of fear, Lackland did not dare to accept the "gift" and threw the whiskey out. Later, When Lachland told his brother (the founder of the Pomo Distillery), he was embarrassed to explain that he had actually left a bottle of whiskey for his brother that night, but he couldn't help but take a sip. Because it happened to be windy and rainy that day, he covered his head with a cloak when he left, but he did not think about it, but became a "headless horseman".
Since then, however, "whisky for guests must be unopened" has become a tradition in Islay. Want to entertain guests with whiskey? It was an excuse to reopen a new bottle of wine.
In Scotland, however, there are many more ghost stories about whisky. I think it's probably because people are prone to hallucinations when they get drunk!
I have prepared so many wine and ghost stories for this Halloween Eve, what have you prepared for Halloween?
