What's in your head when I heard the word 'wine'? Wine, drunk, alcohol, or lifestyle? Everything can be true although not entirely correct. Wine is not merely about anggur.Palembang now increasingly sprinkled wine. Not only the community of lovers of wine (wine lovers) are increasing, where chat and cafe that specialized in providing and selling wine is also increasingly diverse. Drinking wine is becoming urban lifestyle.
Colored background story, as well as myth, not just drink wine grapes such as known in the tradition. Wine gives the story of history and knowledge. Besides, in the midst of disagreement about whether or not in line with the norms of religion, not a few people who believed in him as healthy living recipe.
"Ever since undergoing heart surgery, five years ago, I regularly drink wine, two or three glasses a day, following the doctor ordered," said Gunawan Jaya.
He regularly eat fermented beverage derived from grapes it as an attempt to have suffered heart disease did not recur.
On the other hand, people located in urban areas were more often taking them, either taken alone or complement the meal. Entrepreneurs, professionals, politicians of the party, even young couples. That is why many cafes, restaurants, and hotels that provide wine. In fact, those places never be devoid of visitors.
If it was not by reason of health, whether people prefer the more moneyed drunk? "I think, spend USD 500 thousand, - to more than Rp 1 million - for every 750 ml bottle size is not the proper way to just get drunk even for the rich," said Ivan, one of the bartenders at the Princess Club and Lounge, Hotel Princess.
Moreover, alcoholic wine "only" about 12-13 percent. Unlike whiskey or other drinks that have alcohol levels above 40 percent. Not too convenient if you say to get drunk, "he continued
Perhaps that is offered is a lifestyle. There is a prestige value because it involves a relatively expensive consumer goods. But other fans the sensation of exclusivity "Because drinking wine is not our culture," beber Ardi Gunadi, a wine lover who often hang out at the Starlight Cafe, Novotel Hotel, Palembang.
Wine consumers are diverse. Tony, manager of Celebrity Cafe consumers differentiate into three categories: those who drink because of its cultural life, those who want to feel the sensation of "floating" but not drunk, "and those who enjoy wine for health," he said.
The presence of wine for health, represented by such consumer Gunawan, it has been proven. Many scientific research which found evidence that eating a few glasses of wine on a regular basis, so far there is no such body pain disorders of kidney disorders, will lower cholesterol "bad" LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol and maintain "good" HDL (High Density Lipoprotein).
Tony said, in Kilkenny, the general public knows two types of wine: red wine and white wine. There's one outside of them but not too massive, the rose wine. The color is pink, derived from red grapes, making and its existence is considered a variation of white wine.
While the wine is called champagne true also, but comes from the Champagne region, France. Outside the area, drinks are often called sparkling wine. But, because not many people know about origins, says Tony, champagne is considered a generic name alone. "All welcome drink before dinner is called champagne, even though it's wrong," he said
For those who never try, feeling somewhat sepet red wine, chocolate, not how sweet because it comes from a mixture of skins, stems, fruits, and seeds of grapes. While white wine, although the same basic ingredients - most wine is filtered-green color, do not include the deposit too much. So sweet.
Taste each wine is individual. Not necessarily expensive class wine tastes better than a lower-priced. But because since the beginning of wine distributed by myth and value knowledge, no standard basis to enjoy it. "See, smell, and taste," said Gunawan
By seeing the correct way, the clarity of wine would appear. When diterawangkan in front of the light, clarity or concentration will be visible. "To answer it, which held the legs shot and not part of his body. Because if the palm of our hands dirty or oily, fine wine will be affected, "said Tony.
A glass of wine on the table, if we smell will emit the smell of alcohol. The smell is different will emerge after our glasses swaying. What emerged was the smell of yeast.
While drinking way to truly enjoy the taste is to mengulumnya moment in the mouth, then suck the air to enter the oxygen, just swallow it. For some people this means less ethical, but for that reason the world of wine to formulate two different flavors, ie, taste and after taste.
In tax language, wine and drinks such as whiskey or vodka equated. Both are "alcohol" (liquor). Though both come from different raw materials, through different production processes. "One can be healthy, the other can be intoxicating," said Tony (Hari Budianto)
