Grape Wine

Grape wine is the second beverage in the international market, only next to beer. At the present, the grape wine already becomes the pronoun of wealth, fashion and personal status. Grape wine is well know to be beneficial to people's health, but how to choose, drink or store grape wine is a knowledge. There is a wonder: how the grape wine gets its color, since almost all grape juice (even from the black grapes) is basically colorless. The secret is letting the skins soak in the juice during fermentation.

葡萄酒

葡萄酒是国际市场上的第二大饮料，仅次于啤酒。如今，葡萄酒已经成为财富、时尚和个人地位的代名词。众所周知，葡萄酒有益于身体健康，不过怎么挑选、饮用和储存葡萄酒却是一门学问。有一个疑问：葡萄酒是怎么形成它独特的色泽的呢？因为几乎所有的葡萄汁（即使来自黑葡萄）基本上都是无色的。诀窍就在于在发酵过程中把葡萄皮浸泡在葡萄汁中。

Cheese

Cheese is one of the world's oldest food products in human history, although no one knows exactly how long people have been eating cheese. Nutrition basically is all about good eating habits, good foods for you, and that includes cheese of course, for it provides protein, essential daily vitamins, and of course energy. If there is one real cheese country in the world, it's the Netherlands, which is the world's largest exporter of cheese.

奶酪

奶酪是人类历史上最古老的食物产品之一，尽管没有人知道人们开始吃奶酪的确切时间。一般来讲，营养总是关于好的饮食习惯和对人有益的食品，这当然也包括奶酪，因为它可以提供蛋白质，每天必须的维生素，当然还提供能量。如果说世界上只有一个真正的奶酪国家的话，那么只能说是荷兰，它是世界上最大的奶酪出口国。
