Types of Alchol - Wine

Hello. Today I will be continuing my types of alchol series. So far I have covered beer and ale. Today's article is going to talk about various aspects of Wine. Wine, as far as alchol goes, is an extremely popular beverage. The use of wine has been dated back to around 6000 BC. Wine is a very important drink, and is used for both social and religious purposes. The word wine can be translated from latin to "grape vine."

There is a huge variety on the types of wine you can get. You can make wine from virtually any type of grape, apples, berries, barley, rice, and ginger. All of these wines have their own names, flavors, and tastes. By far though, the most popular is grape wine.

Wine is created through the process of fermentation. Since grapes have such a high amount of sugar in them, there is no need to add other sources of sugars. Yeast converts the sugars into alchol, and the result is wine. Different strains of yeast are used depending on the type of wine and flavor. Wine is usually made from different strains of a grape species called Vitis Vinifera. Some wines are also made from hybrid grapes, or grapes that have been genetically altered with other types of grapes. As most beer is created in breweries, most wine is made in vineyards, where the grapes are grown.

If you go looking for different types of wine, you might run into a vintage wine. Vintage wines are made from grapes that were all harvested the same year. Vintage wines for each year generally have the same taste. This is because they all came from the same grape.

After the wine is finished and ready for consumption, it usually goes through a tasting process. Wine tasting is all about judging the taste and color on a variety of factors. The first step in the tasting process is judging the color. Based on where the grapes come from, the color changes. Next, a wine taster will taste the wine. Tasters try to pick out individual ingredients and flavors, no matter how subtle. Lastly, the aroma is judged. Wine aroma is created by the release of compounds in the wine. To vaporize these compounds, all that needs to be done is to swirl the glass. Also, serving wine at room temperature is also helpful.

Lastly, wine is often collected. Some wines, depending on age and what vineyard they come from, can go for thousands of dollars. However, when you hear most people talk about fine wines, it's between the price range of $30-50. Many people devote whole cellars for the collection of wines. This allows the wine to age in the perfect conditions, so that when it's time to be consumed, it tastes perfect.

That's it for today's article. I hope you learned something about wine you didn't know before. Thanks for reading about alchol!

Delicious Alchol Slush Recipes

Hey everyone. I know I said I was starting a series on types of alchol, but today, I'm going to take a break. I'm going to write about something I've been wanting to write about for quite a while. Basically, I'm going to be writing on a couple different flavored alchohol drinks. First, I'll be talking about some of my favorite delicious alchol slush recipes. After that, I'll talk about alchol punch. Finally, I'll wrap up the article with alchol flavoring pouches and sugary alcholic drinks.

First off, let me explain what an alchol slush is. It's basically a mixed alcholic drink, with a slurpee feel to it. It's delicious. As you can probably imagine, it's perfect for a hot summer day. It's also an excellent party drink. So there are a couple of flavors that go really well with alchol slush. Lemon, Cranberry, Lime, Strawberry, etc. All the basic "summer fruits" taste amazing mixed with some flavored vodka or rum. If you'd like to experiment, it's very easy to make up your own recipes. Try mixing them, or trying different base drinks. The base drink is whatever alchol drink you choose. I'll show you the basic recipe for a Pina Colada alchol slush.

1 Bottle of Pina Colada Mix
1 Can of Pineapple Juice
1/2 fifth of Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Coconut Rum
Ice Cream - Sorbet's are great with this, and even vanilla ice cream can go well

Freeze overnight. When you're ready to serve, mix it with some Sprite or Squirt.

This is an awesome party drink. I always have some of this in a punch bowl, and it goes quick. If you've never heard of it before, Parrot Bay Rum is perfect for delicious alchol slush recipes. They have quite a few flavors, and it's only 21% alchol, so you can drink lots of it and not get drunk. I'll give you one more slush recipe. It's the perfect summer hummer alchol drink.

Summer Hummer Alchol Drink

4 Cups of Water
1 Can of Lemonade
1 Can of Limeade
1 Cup of Vodka, Gin, or whatever you like

Freeze overnight. Serve with a spoon.

If you're in a rush and need a delicious alchol slush recipe right away, you don't have to wait overnight. You can add all the ingredients together but the juice. If you buy canned juice, you can take it straight from the freezer and add it in. Once you mix it all together, it has the same texture as a regular slush, but it hardly takes any time. The one downside is that the flavors don't have as much time to mix so it won't taste as good.

Alchohol Punch is another perfect party drink. This can be used in an indoor party. It's not as cold as an alchol slush, so it works for winter occasions. Once again, alchol punch is extremely simple to make. You can easily make your own by just substituting ingredients. I'll give you a simple alchol punch recipe.

Sour Punch

1 Can Orange Juice
1 Can Lemonade
4 quarts of Ginger Ale
1 Fifth of Bourbon

Combine into a large punch bowl with ice. Add maraschino cherries to garnish.

As you can see, alchol punch is super easy to make. You can whip it up within ten minutes easy. It's a great crowd pleaser, and everyone will love it.

Finally, I'd like to talk about a drink 'modifier.' Many of these drinks can taste better with an alchol flavoring pouch. What is this? It's basically just a powdered lemonade, or even gatorade. Don't use it as a main ingredient, but add a bit like you were adding sugar. Alchol mixed drinks are great for social gatherings.

Thanks for reading my post on delicious alchol slush recipes. I've been wanting to share some of these easy recipes for a while, and I'm glad I finally did. Next post should continue the types of alchohol series. Thanks!

Types of Alchol - Ale

Welcome back! Today I'm going to be continuing the series I started earlier this week. Last time, I talked about beer. Today, I'm going to write about another alcholic beverage in the beer family. Today's alchol beverage is Ale.

Ale, like Beer, is brewed from malted barley, yeast, and hops. The difference is that the yeast used is different. The yeast is called top-fermenting yeast, and it converts starches to sugars at a much quicker rate. This gives the ale a sweet, almost fruity taste. Hops are added to give the Ale a more bitter taste. This evens out the sweet taste, and the combination is perfect. Most Ale's take about three weeks to go through the brewing/fermenting process. Ale takes less time to brew, and is sweeter than beer or other lagers.

The earliest record of Ale is from the 15th century. Ale was an important beverage in medieval times, complimenting the basic peasant diet. Now, in this century, ale is classified by the type of yeast, and the temperature of fermentation. Ale is usually fermented between 60-75 degrees F (14-24 C). This is the temperature where yeast releases aromas and flavors that give ale the fruity taste.

There are several different types of ale. These include Pale Ale, Brown Ale, Porter, Red Ale. Scotch, Mild, and Old. The difference between all of these is mainly the ingredients, and sometimes the percentage of alchol. For a pale ale, a lighter barley will be used, to give the ale a lighter color and taste. Red Ale uses roasted barley, giving it a particular red hue. Brown ales use regular barley, they have a lower amount of hops, and tend to have a mild flavor. Scotch is a stronger type of Ale. It can also be slightly caramelized to give it added flavor. Old Ale is, as the name implies, Ale that has been in storage for longer than a year. This gives it a much stronger flavor. Lastly, Mild ale is the opposite of Old. It's often drank as soon as possible after the brewing process. It also contains less alchol. There are a few other varieties of Ale, but they are less common, so I won't be addressing them.

In conclusion, Ale, as an alcholic beverage, is a lot like Beer, but has a sweeter, fruitier flavor. This is due to type of yeast used and the temperature. There are many different types of Ale, and everyone has a different preference. I hope you learned a lot from this article, and will continue reading. There are still plenty of beverages containing alchol that I haven't covered yet, so stay tuned!

Types of Alchol - Beer

Hey everyone. Today I'm going to be starting a new series. It's going to be about the different types of beverages that contain alchol. Starting with common drinks such as beer, and then moving to more hard liquors. I think this will be interesting to research, and hopefully interesting to read. Today I'm going to be talking about Beer.

Beer is the oldest and most common alcholic beverage. It's also the third most popular drink, both alcholic and non alcholic, in the world. There are recent archeological findings that suggest that beer may have been brewed as early as 9000 BC. Beer was also mentioned in the Code of Hammurabi, and egyptians even had a God of beer.

The ingredients of beer are pretty simple. Mainly, beer consists of malted barley, hops, yeast, and water. Sometimes barley is replaced with corn, or rice, but barley is the most popular. Beer mainly consists of water, with the other ingredients combining to make the hoppy, alcholic flavor that beer is known for.

Beer is made using the process of fermentation. This process occurs in places called breweries. The process of brewing involves combining grains or barleys with hops. This is turned into a sugary liquid, which is then fermented. After the fermentation process, beer is created. The sugary liquid is created by mixing malted barley and hot water. This process is known as mashing. This is where the starches are turned into sugars. The end product is a sugary liquid called Wort. The wort is then put into a large kettle where it is boiled, usually for an hour. It is boiled so that all the water will evaporate, leaving the sugary substance behind. The wort is cooled, and combined with yeast. This is where the wort becomes beer. The fermentation process takes anywhere from one week to one month, depending on the type of beer. The beer is then bottled, and is ready for consumption.

The alchol percentage of beer is usually around three percent. There are also light versions of certain beers that have lower alchol percentage or less calories. Many people use beer at social events, and parties. It's not often used if you want to get completely drunk, but after a few beers, you'll feel a buzz.

This concludes my first post on types of alchol. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll probably talk about other alcholic variations in the beer family next. There are so many different alcholic beverages that it would be foolish to try and cover them all. However, my goal is to cover all the major and well known ones. Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll check back often!
