Learning about wine and winemaking technology, especially enjoying a little wine when Tet comes, spring is really interesting. Then you will understand wine culture.

At the end of December 2024, Da Lat opened a wine street on Ho Tung Mau street.

I named the article like that because I remembered a poem by poet Ma Giang Lan written on July 29, 2011, called Da Lat Vang.

The poem is very good but I remember most the ending he wrote: ...The rain suddenly stopped/Goodbye restaurant/The purple afternoon sun lingers/Da Lat resounds.It was only later that I understood the beauty of that poem.

But he only talked about wine culture... but he didn't mention the special uses of wine, especially for women.

Many people do not know how precious and expensive a bottle of wine is and why it is so expensive. During Tet, drinking a glass of wine is really fun and warm, but many people only understand how to drink good wine but do not know the cultural value of wine?

I remember a very good sentence about tea drinking culture:First water, second earthah, three parts, tcongestionswallow, five birdsbattery. That sentence means that the most important thing when drinking tea is the water, second is the delicious tea, third is the way of making tea and the culture of making tea, fourth is the cup, and fifth is the friends gathering together to make the tea delicious.

Drinking wine is the same. Why did Ma Jianglin write the concluding verse:Dto Lresound resound?This sentence is ambiguous. He is also talking about the aftertaste of the party.

To make wine or beer, water is the most important, followed by the quality of the grapes, how to drink, how to bottle the wine and who to drink it with.

The history of wine in the world is quite old.

8,000 years BC people already knew how to process grapes into wine. Grapes grown in mild winter weather and sunny summers will produce fruit of sufficient quality to make wine.

How expensive is wine? Twenty years ago I read in a newspaper a bottle of American wine that cost $75,000. Of course, that bottle of wine was very expensive.

Once, in 2003, a company invited me and Dr. Hoang Huu Phe (at that time he was the Director of Trung Hoa Nhan Chinh Apartment Project). At the lunch party of that year, he told me to order the best wine in the restaurant. I ordered 2 bottles of wine. I vaguely saw the number 450,000 so I ordered it right away. The wine was very delicious, everyone praised it. The most surprising thing was when I paid, it was not 450,000 VND but 4.5 million VND. It is true that good things never come cheap. That bottle of wine will always be remembered by me.

An expensive bottle of wine is worth more than its packaging. Many bottles are beautifully designed and expensive, and the packaging is equally expensive.

I went to an imported wine store and learned that a bottle of wine costs 10 million VND, which is normal. Many people do not know that Dalat wine is affordable but tastes just as good as high-end wine if you know how to drink it.

Wine must be refrigerated to maintain its quality. I used to not understand why wine bottles are stored upside down in wine shops. The cork is very important to wine bottles. If left outside in a dry, hot climate, the cork will shrink and won’t open. Therefore, if you store the bottle upside down, the cork will stay moist and won’t break when opened.

Fine wine must be kept in the refrigerator. In low temperature conditions, the quality of wine is delicious and long lasting.

In terms of health benefits, red wine is very beneficial for women. Drinking wine is very good for digestion, but everything should be done in moderation.

Spring days, having friends over to drink a glass of wine and learn more about wine culture is also very interesting.
