How To Drink Wine As an Italian

in #travel6 years ago

If you are the wine-lover you definitely understand that wine is not just an alcoholic drink, it's a special culture of with traditions and rules. For sure, I can't pitch you a lot about choosing and drinking proper type of drink for your occasion, because I am not a sommelier or professional at all, but at least I can tell you couple interesting facts how to drink wine as an Italian.

  1. Italians are drinking for the pleasure, not to be drunk! That's why two glasses of wine during the dinner are more than enough. They don't drink wine to forget about their problems or feel euphoria, for the wine is a drink with complicated tastes, which has to be paired with different types of food.

  1. Everything in Italy goes under the special schedule and drinking wine is not the exception from this rule. Italians follow rules what to drink, when or where. For example, they are drinking grappa (grape vodka) or limoncello as a digestive. Wine is supposed to be drunk during the dinner (never before).

  2. In Italian families (usually grandpa) dips the piece of bread in the wine and gives it to taste to the grandchildren. Italians think that the wine is the national treasure and it's a part of the healthy diet.

Love wine! Great info.

thanks! me too! I am a huge fan of good wine.

Будучи в прошлом году перед Рождеством католическим в Милане, я удивился тому, что итальянцы на обед в пиццерии берут воду. Девушка и нам воду предложила, но мы отказались, сказав, что взяли уже чай.
Мы как раз попали на время обеда. Люди как-то моментом заполонили заведение и официанты бегали бегом. :) Когда я посмотрел в зал, то увидел на столах у людей пустые бутылки из-под воды. И, конечно, же вино было у всех.
Рядом со мной мужчины за столом разбавляли вино водой. У одного были очень маленькие такие шашлычки. ему их принесли в кувшине, который был положен на бок. :)
Очень удивительно.

дада! это отличный совет, который я забыла включить в список - они всегда запивают бокал вина большим количеством воды и чаще всего - спарклинг - то есть газированной! видимо, вино сушит, чтобы восстановить баланс.

Вот. Это ты забыла. Важная деталь. :)
