Good Wine for good friends

Wine has been drunk for over 8000 years, about 2000 years ago, the Romans brought the secrets of vineyards to france and later to Germany. Although wine can be made out of many different fruits, honey and grapes, it can only be called wine when it is made from just grapes. All other fruit wines must be so named eg. cherry wine, apple wine.

Wine is an important part of our social scene, when friends come round in the evening, wine will often be offered. Mixed with water in the summer, it is a refreshing drink without too much alcohol. The alcohol content is between about 9-14%.

Wine can be bought relatively inexpensively for every day drinking, but for the real wine expert, the sky can be the limit for the price they are prepared to pay, for example, for a rare Bordeaux.
