With the onset of the holidays, people drink various alcoholic beverages. For some, this is a way to relax, while others like the feeling of warmth flowing through their veins, each person has his own explanation. But the choice and quality of drinks should be taken as seriously as the purchase of products. Most girls, for example, choose mild alcoholic beverages, which include
wine, champagne, cocktails. Men prefer something stronger: whiskey, cognac, vodka. But for a long time, representatives of different sexes like a fortified drink, created many years ago - the wine "Madera". Products have been manufactured since 1892. For the first time, an “experiment” with grapes was a success for a local resident of a small island, in whose honor he gave the name to his alcoholic drink. In fact, the wine is quite strong, it contains only 3% sugar and 19.5 degrees alcohol.
Wine "Madera" has its own peculiarity - any finished product has an aging of at least five years. Over the entire period, the bottle, located in an incomplete and open oak barrel, absorbs every ray of the sun. As a result, the bouquet of the drink becomes especially spicy, delicate and harmonious, and the taste changes a little and becomes full, pleasantly burning, with a hint of hot nut. During exposure, 40% of the liquid evaporates.
Quite often, Madera wine is called Twice Born by the Sun. It is worth noting that all processes are performed manually, as a hundred years ago. For lack of sufficient space in the vineyards, using modern technology is unrealistic. Sweet berries are usually planted at a distance of three meters from each other. Between grapes you can often see how other crops grow. Places in the homeland of the drink - the island of Madeira - are barely enough for vineyards and the production of a unique drink. There are many varieties of this wine, and different manufacturers make Madera wine . "Massandra" is one of the largest grape and wine-making plants - no exception. The unsurpassed drink was awarded ten gold and five silver medals for its quality and high palatability.
The longer the bottle is aged, the more pleasant is the aroma, and the wine acquires notes of vanilla and cognac tones with age.
Manufacturers recommend drinking an alcoholic beverage before lunch or during a meal for any snacks. Wine "Madera" perfectly tones, restores strength, and is also often used for medicinal purposes. According to legend, the story of the creation of the drink can be summarized as follows: wine sellers mainly transported the drink to India, but there were days when no one bought the barrels. After the goods returned back from a long trip, people began to notice that the wine became much tastier. When it did not open for a long time, new notes appeared in the aroma, and the color changed. After this discovery, sellers decided for some time to keep the drink on the ship's ship, and only after that put up barrels for sale. As a result, it has become more expensive, but has gained unheard of popularity. Today, Madera wine, whose average price is fifteen dollars a bottle, is known to the whole world.
