Red wines

Red wine has been part of human history for thousands of years. It was revered in ancient Greece and Rome. It is even written about in the Bible, it served as an inspiration for poets, writers and artists. Today, the divine drink is still in demand, and its varieties delight connoisseurs around the world.

How is it done

Grapes with a dark red to blue skin are used to produce red wine. Remove the stalks and mash the beans. Allow to ferment with the flakes and minced meat. Thus, the characteristic ruby to black pigment penetrates the juice. In addition, the shells also contain tannins, which are of great importance for the formation of the characteristic taste.
During the fermentation process, sugars are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
The next part of the classic production technology is aging. Lighter fruit wines are consumed young, while those with a more saturated concentration of tannin are left to mature in oak barrels. After the allotted time for aging, the drink is stabilized, filtered and bottled. Some species are additionally aged in bottles.

What are the benefits of red wine

If there is a prize for the healthiest alcoholic beverage, then red wine definitely grabs it with ease. However, we are talking about moderate consumption - no more than one glass per night. Here are the benefits this can bring you:
● Lowers blood sugar;
● Improves sleep (but it is important to be consumed with food);
● Helps to be in good physical shape. The drink slows down the formation of new fat cells and inhibits the growth of existing ones;
● Increases immunity against colds;
● Reduces the risk of dementia;
● Lowers the levels of bad cholesterol and increases those of the good. This leads to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

What foods are served with

Good red wine goes well with quality food. It is the heaviest of these alcoholic beverages, so it is good to combine with similarly heavy foods. Especially dry drinks are a good company for meat dishes: pork, beef, lamb. They can also be consumed with pasta (pizza, spaghetti), especially those with red sauce.
Sweeter red wines can be served with different cheeses.
If the drink you have chosen is a dessert, you can combine it with chocolate cakes or drink it as an aperitif.
