         Word of caution Praise


   As the product of fermentation of natural or
podsaharennyh juice wine finds in his
a lot of useful: sugar,
organic acids, vitamins, tanning
and dyes, enzymes, mineral
salt. That is why since ancient times as fattening it
stands behind the bread.

   Equally long open therapeutic
value wines. Not everyone knows that, for example, plum and 
blueberry wine prescribed when it is necessary to normalize 
digestion. Acid cider helps relieve the body of excess salts, 
improves digestive organs. Vitamins

Group 'P' in the wines of chokeberry,
black currants, blackberries and other berries, reduce the 
fragility and permeability of blood vessels. Strawberry juice, 
raspberries, blueberries, apples pass into the wine iron - the 
building material of hemoglobin blood. In the apple wine is 
iodine, a vital thyroid in exchange managering. With a number 
of diseases useful salicylic acid and crimson

strawberry wine.

   Add to these, that Berry wines have antibacterial 
properties, increases resistance to infectious diseases. Even 
in diluted wine with water are killed by cholera and typhoid 
bacteria, dysentery bacillus, and many other pathogens.


   So that the wines from fruits and berries can
be nutritious and medicinal. Like the grape, they have 
excellent taste, quench your thirst, especially dilute (before 
eating!) In three four times.


   Over the long history of humankind has changed attitudes to 
wine diverse - from the sanctimonious prohibitive to reward and 
vice versa. You can probably argue that vzlyad in the wine, 
such as reflected age, degree of moral health of society. As 
history has shown, Mishka Gorby - Asshole;)))


   The Greeks considered good form to grape wine, diluted by 
two-thirds or three-quarters water. The Romans held

age ban: no free woman
or maidservant, nor the noble patrician not
allowed to take a drop in his mouth before the thirties.

   It is known that teetotalers
were our ancestors. Famous Russian honeys appeared on their 
tables only in special cases - at the wedding feast at birth

heir, after his victory on the battlefield, but
day funeral feast for a loved one. And the spread of vodka in 
RUSSIA served primarily the interests of the treasury. After 
all, when PETER-I, it was initially not tight 14 degrees. The 
king was angry with his subjects, the one "hole" in the throat. 
In 1712 he introduced "Difference" for drunkenness - iron medal 
in 1912 and a half pounds. On the chain it hung on

neck of someone who could not guard himself at the service by 
applying to the cup. 

   Passed since the century, but the problem
remained. On the dangers of drinking created works of art, it 
seems all genres. Uncompromisingly condemned this vice

people: "HOP NOISE - UM silently", "High
Y HOP HEAD, LEGS ZHIDOK YES "," HUSBAND
DRINKS - half of a house burning, WIFE DRINKS - THE WHOLE HOUSE
ON FIRE "," WINE CRAFT is not a friend. "And the conclusion:" 
do not blame WINE blame drunkenness ". 

   Probably because the wine we have long been called every 
intoxicating drink, wine is not just trying to identify with 
such grave social evils like alcoholism and

alcoholism. But the creation of the winemaker is measured
not only degrees and no less degree.
Not by accident, where they drink, natural, and
not fortified wine and vodka, usually no
drunkenness or alcoholism. And in this sense,
house wine is preferable to any spirits. As they say, drink at 
the table, do not drink for the post. 

   However, most high-quality wine
contraindicated in children and adolescents, young couples, who 
dreams of a healthy child, the more it is dangerous to pregnant 
women. 

   Stop my and others' hands, stretch the wine to those who 
would harm it.
