Wine - an alcohol that enhances the taste of food
Wine is definitely one of the the most popular types of alcohol. It is held in high regard for several reasons. First and foremost, it is an extremely approachable alcohol due to its taste.
Another special feature of wine is that it it enhances the flavour of the food consumed. Wine is most often consumed as an accompaniment to meat. However, it is worth remembering that not every wine goes with every type of meat. For red meats, such as beef, pork or venison, red wine works best. Conversely, for white meat, i.e. poultry, veal or fish, go for white wine.
This drink is a very versatile alcohol due to its low alcohol content and approachable taste. This means that it can be consumed at gatherings with friends, as well as at all kinds of special events.
However, it is worth bearing in mind that wine, like any alcohol, is a stimulant and should therefore be consumed in an informed manner.
