The attendants around him handed a glass of carefully aged kolton dry red wine, and generous Charlemagne gulped it down, inadvertently dyeing a bunch of carefully maintained white beards red, which made the emperor in a good mood what to do.

Kangxi was an emperor who was keen on drinking.

The emperor kept the habit of drinking red wine until his death. Kangxi reigned for 6 1 year and was the longest reigning emperor in the history of China. Emperor Kangxi compared "tasting wine" to "human milk", so he developed the habit of drinking regularly.

17 14 years, after the famous "etiquette dispute", all missionaries except the Jesuits were driven out of China, resulting in a wine shortage. Kangxi ordered people to look for wine everywhere in the country. According to the research of Li Tiangang, a Shanghai scholar, the first French Jesuit missionaries presented wine to Kangxi, among which Louis Le Comte (Chinese name Li Ming) came from Bordeaux, so it can be inferred that Bordeaux wine is among the wines presented to the emperor.

Introduction to the story:

As we all know, Winston Churchill, a grumpy former British Prime Minister, is not only a politician and writer, but also an alcoholic. Churchill likes drinking very much and drinks every meal. He usually drinks red wine during the day, a bottle of champagne for dinner, port wine after dinner, brandy and a martini before going to bed. He once said, "A meal is not complete without drinking".

From 65438 to 0899, Churchill went to South Africa as a war correspondent. He brought 60 bottles of wine in his luggage.

However, among all the wines, melnick, a special grape variety from Bulgaria, is Prime Minister Churchill's favorite. The wine it makes has a high alcohol concentration. Judging from the contents of extract, tannin and alcohol content, melnick wine is not a typical modern Bulgarian wine, but has a strong Greek style.

This wine has been listed less than 50 thousand times a year, and its series is unique, niche and individual. For wine lovers who are looking for little-known grape varieties and seeking high-quality wine experience, the exclusive melnick dry red presents endless vitality and personality charm for them.

Food suggestion: red meat, game and mature cheese.

Introduction to the story:

Just like the soft tannins and changeable style of this red wine, so does Ming Rui. Octavian's bullying does not rely on iron riding Jin Ge, but on his strong social skills and political means, which are wily and ruthless.

When Rome was in civil strife, it ruled with marc anthony and Marcus Aemilius Ray letmathe, practiced military dictatorship, purged the Senate, marched into Philippi (now Macedonia), then returned to Rome, went to Egypt, and the empire ruled by things ... Later, it sent troops to Egypt, forcing Cleopatra to death and killing little Caesar. ...

When "purifying" the nursing home, 300 elders and 3000 knights were robbed and killed, and the wine in the home was naturally confiscated. However, a knight family named Saikal was spared, because the wine copied from his house had a jewel-like color and heavy taste, which Octavian could not forget for a long time. What's more strange is that there are no signs of wineries on these barrels. Octavian was afraid that he would never drink this wine again after killing Saikal, so out of selfishness, he ordered his wingman to find a farmer who looked exactly like Saikal, killed him mercilessly and hung his head in the city. The Saikal family hid in the castle and continued to make wine. According to Octavian's own favorite style, he put forward many suggestions and gradually became the representative work of Italian DOC: Amarone Riserva Doc, the classic Octavian.

Editor's recommendation:

3000 knights died, why did some people drag out an ignoble existence? This classic Italian wine tells you the truth.
