Drink to get drunk, or because the wine tastes good

Mondo Gastronomy Updated on 2024-01-29

People who don't drink alcohol often have such questions about what wine is good about, and the taste is weird, especially when the liquor is just in the mouth, it feels spicy. Since alcohol is not good, some people are obsessed with alcohol, is it really just to be "drunk"?

For some people, wine is an emotional drink, the moment you hold the wine glass, it is not only the wine that you drink, but the catalyst of your inner feelings, when you are happy, you have a glass, when you are unhappy, you have to have a glass, so that you are happy, and you are sad and sad.

For others, they don't drink primarily for emotional exaggeration, but because they really like the taste and texture of wine. Just like some people like to drink tea and coffee, they think that drinking wine is a kind of enjoyment, a taste and pursuit of life. They enjoy tasting a variety of different types of liquor, appreciating their aroma, taste, and aftertaste, and for them, drinking wine is an art and a pleasure.

In traditional Chinese culture, when friends and family get together to drink and have a good time, wine becomes a lubricant for social relationships, a medium for people to get together to communicate, share and celebrate. In this case, even friends or family members who can't drink alcohol will have a drink, but if they can't, they will also bring tea and replace it with tea as a sign of celebration or gratitude.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is a catalyst for emotions, a love for wine, or a need for social interaction, what matters is the inner feeling of the drinker, whether he or she is truly relieved and happy because of drinking. And the so-called "wine table culture" is an alternative to drinking, which is a blasphemy against traditional Chinese wine culture.
