The trips and enotourism have temporary fallen apart. As everybody else, we are also obediently sitting in prison and although our desire is to infect you with love and passion for wine. Today we are starting to temporarily test something completely different. The new character who came out of hiding and appeared in these moments of weakness is GIN. Ladies and Gentlemen, any resemblance to real characters and events is completely accidental, i.e. to Gin as prevention against illness or false conspiracy theories. What remains unchanged is the fact that we are still testing on ourselves, and we are still testing by ourselves.
Gin is associated mainly with England because the English people knew what to do with it. The English man brought it to the British Isles at the end of the 16th century. They called this drink “Dutch Courage,” because the soldiers sipped it as pre-fight treatment.
It may be obvious that juniper is required to produce Gin in addition to spirit made from grain or molasses.
Gin knows no borders or has no national affiliation, thus it’s the very reason why it should unite us.
The most popular and simplest version of drink is Gin & Tonic. The well-known James Bond use to order a shaken, not stirred cocktail containing gin. Anyway, I don’t know if this hero it’s worth mentioning, mainly because coronavirus beat James Bond, thus the premiere of the latest film “No Time To Die” was postponed to November. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony…ecotourism
Gin and tonic changed the fate of a large part of the world. During the invasion of India, the British Army was sipping the historical prototype of this drink. In this way it protected itself against malaria. Believe it or not, but fun is still great, and when we give gin the weight of medicine and additionally appreciate it taste, it came out that we are probably already in the seventh heaven.
Because of profession of dealing with wine but also because of our passion for wine, we usually don’t drink any other alcohol. Well, look what can be done for an idea!
At first shot goes French gim.
The GIN we’ve tested is French gin, developed as a small production by distillery Jos Nusbaumer or Jos’Berri. This gin is created in a mountain region. Jos Nusbaumer is a distillery typical of Alsace. Yes we are still in France but this time exceptionally in Alsace! Here you can learn about the distiller profession and visit the distillery and what is important do tasting.
I think you will also like the packaging. Jos’Berri has a unique, somewhat botanical box.
