1, three wrong ways to drink red wine
1, eat hot pot and drink. Many people like food with strong taste, such as hot pot and white wine. As we all know, eating and drinking too much hot pot is easy to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, stimulate the stomach and intestines, and lead to the sudden attack of diseases such as gastric ulcer. In particular, some office workers with high work intensity and pressure will hurt their stomachs if they stay up late for a long time and eat irregularly. If they are addicted to hot pot and strong liquor, they will be more likely to be entangled in gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, for the sake of gastrointestinal health, it is still based on a light and soft diet.
2. Add ice cubes directly into the wine. This practice will dilute the taste and aroma of wine due to the addition of ice cubes, which is not conducive to tasting the flavor and quality of wine, and is more likely to cause physical discomfort of people with stomach cold and spleen deficiency, thus affecting their health. If you want to drink ice wine, you can pour ice cubes into the bucket, and then put the whole bottle of wine into the ice bucket to cool down. It is best to drink white wine chilled to 8- 12 degrees Celsius and red wine chilled to 14- 18 degrees Celsius.
3. Drink wine with espresso. Some friends think that wine and coffee are elegant things full of emotional appeal, so they like to have a cup of hot coffee after drinking wine. In fact, drinking both together is not healthy. As we all know, coffee contains caffeine, and moderate drinking can bring refreshing effect. But if you drink it with alcoholic drinks such as wine, it will accelerate blood circulation, stimulate the cardiovascular system and brain, and do great harm to the heart and brain. So "wine and coffee" is unscientific. If you want to drink both "wine" and "coffee", you'd better drink it at intervals of more than three hours.
2. What can't red wine go with?
Avoid contact with seafood. Red wine with red meat conforms to the law of cooking itself. Tannin in red wine and protein in red meat combine to make digestion begin almost immediately. Although fresh salmon, swordfish or tuna are rich in natural oils and can be well matched with reddish wine, when red wine is matched with some seafood, such as Dover sole fillets, high content of tannins will seriously damage the taste of seafood, and the wine itself may even have an unpleasant metallic taste. White wine with white meat dishes or seafood is also a good suggestion. The taste of some white wines may be masked by beef or mutton, but it will be pushed to a very high level if it is accompanied by plate fish, shrimp, lobster or roast chicken breast.
Avoid vinegar. Salad usually does not affect the style of wine, but if vinegar is mixed into it, it will passivate the taste, make the wine lose its vitality and make the taste dull. Lemonade is a good choice, because the citric acid in it can be in harmony with the character of wine. Cheese and wine are an ideal combination of nature, just be careful not to mix spicy cheese with light wine, and vice versa.
There is a selection of spicy food with wine. It may be difficult to match spicy or fragrant food with wine, but you can find a suitable partner with spicy or fruity wine. Chocolate sometimes adversely affects the taste of wine, and some people claim that it can be successful with aged Cabernet Sauvignon. L 'Aquila wine from Banfeiba, Cetto, has a very pleasant effect with chocolate, especially dark chocolate. This Italian wine tastes delicate and crisp, and the right natural acidity is enough to balance the richness and sweetness of chocolate, while keeping your mouth comfortable, fresh and clean.
3. Who can't drink red wine
1, pregnant woman. Some sommeliers believe that a small amount of drinking by pregnant women is harmless to their own health and fetal health, but other medical researchers warn expectant mothers that even a small amount of drinking by pregnant women may cause harm to the fetus, especially to the brain stem nerves of the fetus, which may easily lead to mental retardation, IQ decline and ADHD after birth.
2, arteriosclerosis. Although alcohol can prevent arteriosclerosis, drinking too much red wine is not conducive to blood supply function for people who already have vascular stenosis, and alcohol itself will increase blood lipids and promote arteriosclerosis.
3, patients with stomach problems. Although wine helps to protect the stomach and digestion, patients with gastrointestinal diseases, especially severe stomach diseases, are not suitable for drinking wine, otherwise it will easily irritate the stomach and aggravate the condition.
4. Patients with liver disease. Generally speaking, moderate drinking is healthy for normal people, because the liver can detoxify alcohol metabolism in the body. However, patients with liver diseases (including chronic viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, drug-induced liver disease and fatty liver) have more or less impaired liver function, and their ability to detoxify alcohol is weaker than that of normal people, so patients with liver diseases are not suitable for drinking.
4. When is a good time to drink?
Generally speaking, it is safer to drink after two o'clock every afternoon. Because the concentration of alcohol dehydrogenase, an enzyme that decomposes alcohol in the stomach, is low in the morning, drinking the same amount of alcohol is easier to absorb in the morning than in the afternoon, which makes the alcohol concentration in the blood increase and does great harm to organs such as the liver and brain. Specific to red wine, there is no detailed basis for when to drink red wine. Some people say that the best time is from 7 pm to 9: 30 pm. During this period, the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase in human liver increased, and alcohol was more easily metabolized. Above all, don't drink on an empty stomach and drink too much.
