What is the difference between wine, spirits, and liqueurs?<\/h3><ul><li><strong>Wine<\/strong> is made by fermenting grapes or other fruits. Alcohol content usually ranges between 8%\u201315%.<\/li><li><strong>Spirits<\/strong> (or <strong>distilled drinks<\/strong>) such as whisky, brandy, gin, and vodka have undergone distillation, resulting in a higher alcohol content (around 35%\u201350%).<\/li><li><strong>Liqueurs<\/strong> are sweetened spirits infused with fruits, herbs, or spices, often used in cocktails or as dessert drinks.<\/li><\/ul><h3>2. How should I serve different types of wines and spirits?<\/h3><ul><li><strong>White wine<\/strong> \u2013 best served chilled (7\u201310\u202f\u00b0C).<\/li><li><strong>Red wine<\/strong> \u2013 ideally at room temperature (15\u201318\u202f\u00b0C).<\/li><li><strong>Sparkling wine<\/strong> \u2013 well chilled (5\u20138\u202f\u00b0C).<\/li><li><strong>Cognac or brandy<\/strong> \u2013 slightly warmed by hand in a glass (around 20\u202f\u00b0C).<\/li><li><strong>Sake<\/strong> \u2013 can be served warm or cold, depending on the type.<\/li><\/ul><h3>3. How do I store wine properly?<\/h3><p>Store bottles <strong>horizontally<\/strong> in a <strong>cool, dark, and humid environment<\/strong> (around 12\u201315\u202f\u00b0C).
