On Red Wine Culture

Red wine is the most emotional "elastic" drink in wine. Whether it is sweet, dry or semi-sweet, it is so smooth, delicate and lingering, and it slides across your tongue and mind like silk, making the drinker's tongue sweet, sour, moist and warm. Sometimes, it will be as fascinating as divine water, making your eyes spicy and spring strong.

Generally, the alcohol content of red wine is not high. Elegant is a bit too low, but you will be satisfied if you drink too much. The younger one feels a little high, but drinks less. In fact, couples or relatives and friends drink alcohol, not entirely for the sake of wine, but mainly for love. For leisure, red wine is just a foil and medium. Good red wine can cultivate people's sentiment and enrich people's material life and spiritual life. Once you really touch it, you can appreciate its elegance, sweetness and romance. When you and she (or he) are in the soft and colorful lights and graceful music, holding a slender tulip-shaped goblet, gently shaking the ruby-red wine juice, indulging in the gentle and graceful red wine, indulging in the spiritual impact of toasting, and infiltrating into the cool jade liquid inside, it will arouse emotional ripples in the body, sublimate into burning family ties, and magically turn into love, friendship and happiness. Red wine is a kind of oxytocin with thousands of amorous feelings, and it is the "affinity agent" of human tenderness.

Red wine generally refers to red wine. Good red wine is rich, round, with a dark fragrance and hundreds of flavors. As early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China, Zhang, a five-character poet, said in his poem Duijiu: "Grapes are full of flavor", "The wind is stirring, people are angry, and the moon comes to Gui Xiang" and "I forget the feather cup". It can be seen that the aroma of wine is incomparable to other wines. Only by savoring it carefully and appreciating it slowly can we understand the mystery. Many scholars and sages have aroused their understanding of life through the "hundred flavors" of wine, leaving many wonderful sentences handed down from generation to generation. According to statistics, wine has been mentioned 520 times in the Bible. Jesus taught 12 disciples: "Drinking can calm your heart and make you peaceful".

But sometimes the wine is "strong". William Wang, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his famous frontier poem "Liangzhou Ci": "If you want to drink the pipa, you should urge it immediately. Lying on the beach drunk, you don't laugh. How many people fought in ancient times? " It means, hold up the crystal luminous cup and fill it with crimson wine. I was about to have a good drink when suddenly, my horse jingled the pipa. Let go of drinking. What's so funny about getting drunk on the battlefield? Soldiers who have fought since ancient times are always ready to die. This poem describes the scene of soldiers drinking with bold style, full of enthusiastic praise for wine and rich color of ancient military life. In fact, this poem also emphasizes a kind of "feeling", a kind of male pride.

Since ancient times, when drinking, wine always plays the leading role, followed by the cup, and the cup is one of the most important wine vessels when drinking. There are many kinds of wine glasses, including feather cups and luminous cups mentioned in the two poems mentioned above. However, people rarely mention wine bottles. So far, most of the wine bottles are glass bottles in the shape of grenades, which are simple in shape and lack artistic beauty.

Fortunately, with the improvement of people's drinking taste, people have begun to pay attention to the artistic effect of wine bottles. For example, the newly developed plastic grape porcelain bottle is very eye-catching and eye-catching.

The shape of this wine bottle is a typical "gallbladder bottle", with a height of 25mm, a belly width of 1 1mm and a capacity of 750ml. The gallbladder bottle is famous for its shape of hanging gallbladder (some people say it looks like a bottle of gallbladder), which was popular in Song Dynasty. It is characterized by an open mouth, a slender neck, smooth shoulders and a full stomach. The material is porcelain glaze, which is generally rich or depicts simple patterns, and rarely carries out gorgeous decoration. The design concept of this bottle is really "bold". The grapes in the bottle are hand-shaped and hand-colored. That bunch of full and heavy grapes, set off by green branches and winding vines, is like a purple gem. And that good bottle cap is no longer a traditional bottle stopper, but a bunch of ripe grapes; The belly of the whole bottle is full, like a bag full of harvested fruit; The bottle body adopts top-grade porcelain clay and modern advanced firing technology. The bottle is as smooth as jade, as white as fat and as loud as chin. Looking at such a masterpiece of art, people can't help but think of When the Grapes are Ripe, as if there were laughter in the vineyard. This deep relief craft bottle is like a still life oil painting, which is intriguing and intoxicating.

The plastic bottle of this grape pile is unique and ingenious. It completely gets rid of the style and material of traditional wine bottles, integrates the national characteristics of China and inherits the essence of Chinese wine culture, perfectly combines ancient and modern art, and makes the old monotonous wine bottles look brand-new and instantly stand out from the vast world of wine bottles.

Imagine that if such a wine bottle is displayed in a warm exchange place or at a gathering of relatives and friends, it will certainly fully mobilize the drinker's relatively "idle" visual senses, arouse people's more dinner topics, increase people's richer romantic associations, let drinkers "get drunk before they get drunk", feast their eyes while enjoying the food, and achieve all-round enjoyment of "watching the fruit, smelling the taste and tasting the pulp". After the song, although the wine in the bottle has flowed into poetry and painting, the ethereal bottle will still add color to the memories in the future, which will touch people from time to time, so that the lingering fragrance of the wine will continue to swirl and the tender friendship will continue. Using such an artistic wine bottle as decoration is also an elegant ornament and spiritual enjoyment.

The appearance of artistic wine bottles makes beautiful wine bottles match perfectly, making up for the Millennium regret that it is difficult to find a good bottle of red wine only with good wine. This is the culture of red wine.
