liquor
As a unique beverage for receiving guests in China, Baijiu has occupied the minds of Chinese people for thousands of years. It forms a unique flavor style with its unique brewing process, especially suitable for drinking in winter due to its high alcohol content.
red wine
If white wine is the darling of summer, then red wine is bound to be the angel of autumn and winter! When drinking wine in cold weather, you can choose a heavy bodied red wine with heavier tannins and slightly higher alcohol content. Take a sip and you will immediately feel hot both physically and mentally!
Huangjiu
When the temperature is below 10 ° C, yellow wine is most suitable for drinking warm. Place the wine in boiling water for a water bath and heat it up to 40-45C. At this time, the yellow wine not only warms the stomach and promotes blood circulation, but also spreads its alcoholic properties quickly, making it very comfortable. Adding shredded ginger or dried plum is a pairing method. Drinking warm yellow wine not only allows for a stronger aroma, but also a softer taste.
rice wine
Different from Baijiu, people like to warm rice wine when drinking rice wine. The most typical examples are Cao Cao's discussion on heroes and Guan Yu's killing Huaxiong with warm wine
In ancient times, people used to drink rice wine. Due to the lack of advanced production technology, there are generally more impurities in wine. A slight warming can make it evaporate, which is more beneficial to the human body
Even now, rice wine is best served warm. When consumed warm, it feels more sweet and delicious, and one can also feel its mellow aroma more. It does not harm the spleen and stomach, and the effect of dispelling cold and warming the body is naturally better.
Whiskey
If you are still stuck in the old concept that only adding ice is suitable for Weitu Ji, then you are out of it. Wei Shang Ji is also a highly alcoholic beverage, and many people like to drink some whiskey in winter to warm up.
It is worth mentioning that even at minus 30 ° C, the whiskey can still remain liquid, so Antarctic explorers also like to bring some whiskey with them to keep warm. In addition, the editor of MAIGOO learned that adding a little hot water, a spoonful of honey, and a little lemon juice to the Wei Shang Ji while it is hot can alleviate symptoms such as coughing and itching in the throat, which is very practical in this cold prone season.
