Coffee

Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain flowering plants in the coffea genus. from the coffee fruit, the seeds are separated to produce a stable, raw product: unroasted green coffee. the seeds are then roasted, a process which transforms them into a consumable product: roasted coffee, which is ground into fine particles that are typically steeped in hot water before being filtered out, producing a cup of coffee. coffee is darkly colored, bitter, slightly acidic and has a stimulating effect in humans, primarily due to its caffeine content. it is one of the most popular drinks in the world and can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways (e.g., espresso, french press, caffè latte, or already-brewed canned coffee). it is usually served hot, although chilled or iced coffee is common. sugar, sugar substitutes, milk or cream are often used to lessen the bitter taste or enhance the flavor. it may be served with coffee cake or another sweet dessert, like doughnuts. a commercial establishment that sells prepared coffee beverages is known as a coffeehouse or coffee shop (not to be confused with dutch coffeeshops selling cannabis). clinical research indicates that moderate coffee consumption is benign or mildly beneficial as a stimulant in healthy adults, with continuing research on whether long-term consumption has positive or negative effects.though coffee is now a global commodity, it has a long history tied closely to food traditions around the red sea. the earliest credible evidence of the drinking of coffee in the form of the modern beverage appears in modern-day yemen from the mid-15th century in sufi shrines, where coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed in a manner similar to current methods. the yemenis procured the coffee beans from the ethiopian highlands via coastal somali intermediaries and began cultivation. by the 16th century, the drink had reached the rest of the middle east and north africa, later spreading to europe. in the 20th century, coffee became a much more global commodity, creating different coffee cultures around the world. the two most commonly grown coffee bean types are c. arabica and c. robusta. coffee plants are cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the americas, southeast asia, the indian subcontinent, and africa. as of 2018, brazil was the leading grower of coffee beans, producing 35% of the world total. coffee is a major export commodity as the leading legal agricultural export for numerous countries. it is one of the most valuable commodities exported by developing countries. green, unroasted coffee is the most traded agricultural commodity and one of the most traded commodities overall, second only to petroleum. despite the sales of coffee reaching billions of dollars, those actually producing the beans are disproportionately living in poverty. critics also point to the coffee industry's negative impact on the environment and the clearing of land for coffee-growing and water use. the environmental costs and wage disparity of farmers are causing the market for fair trade and organic coffee to expand.

Rivella

Rivella is a soft drink from switzerland, created by robert barth in 1952, which is produced from milk whey, and therefore includes ingredients such as lactose, lactic acid and minerals. other than switzerland, it is sold in several other countries, notably the netherlands, and is available in several varieties depending on the country.

Drink

Soft drinks

A soft drink (see § terminology for other names) is a drink that usually contains water (often carbonated), a sweetener, and a natural and/or artificial flavoring. the sweetener may be a sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, a sugar substitute (in the case of diet drinks), or some combination of these. soft drinks may also contain caffeine, colorings, preservatives, and/or other ingredients. soft drinks are called "soft" in contrast with "hard" alcoholic drinks. small amounts of alcohol may be present in a soft drink, but the alcohol content must be less than 0.5% of the total volume of the drink in many countries and localities if the drink is to be considered non-alcoholic. types of soft drinks include lemon-lime drinks, orange soda, cola, grape soda, ginger ale, and root beer. soft drinks may be served cold, over ice cubes, or at room temperature. they are available in many container formats, including cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles. containers come in a variety of sizes, ranging from small bottles to large multi-liter containers. soft drinks are widely available at fast food restaurants, movie theaters, convenience stores, casual-dining restaurants, dedicated soda stores, vending machines, and bars from soda fountain machines. within a decade of the invention of carbonated water by joseph priestley in 1767 inventors in britain and in europe had used his concept to produce the drink in greater quantities, with one such inventor, j. j. schweppe, forming schweppes in 1783 and selling the world's first bottled soft drink. soft drink brands founded in the 19th century include r. white's lemonade in 1845, dr pepper in 1885 and coca-cola in 1886. subsequent brands include pepsi, irn-bru, sprite, fanta and 7 up.

Drink

Tea

Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured or fresh leaves of camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to china, india and other east asian countries. tea is also rarely made from the leaves of camellia taliensis. after water, it is the most widely consumed drink in the world. there are many different types of tea; some have a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavour, while others have vastly different profiles that include sweet, nutty, floral, or grassy notes. tea has a stimulating effect in humans primarily due to its caffeine content.tea plants are native to east asia and probably originated in the borderlands of southwestern china and northern burma. an early credible record of tea drinking dates to the third century ad, in a medical text written by hua tuo. it was popularised as a recreational drink during the chinese tang dynasty, and tea drinking subsequently spread to other east asian countries. portuguese priests and merchants introduced it to europe during the 16th century. during the 17th century, drinking tea became fashionable among the english, who started to plant tea on a large scale in india. the term herbal tea refers to drinks not made from camellia sinensis. they are the infusions of fruit, leaves, or other plant parts, such as steeps of rosehip, chamomile, or rooibos. these may be called tisanes or herbal infusions to prevent confusion with tea made from the tea plant.

Blauburgunder

Pinot noir (french: [pino nwaʁ]) is a red-wine grape variety of the species vitis vinifera. the name may also refer to wines created predominantly from pinot noir grapes. the name is derived from the french words for pine and black. the word pine alludes to the grape variety having tightly clustered, pine cone–shaped bunches of fruit.pinot noir grapes are grown around the world, mostly in cooler climates, and the grape is chiefly associated with the burgundy region of france. pinot noir is now used to make red wines around the world, as well as champagne, sparkling white wines such as the italian franciacorta, and english sparkling wines. regions that have gained a reputation for red pinot noir wines include the willamette valley of oregon; the carneros, central coast, sonoma coast, and russian river avas of california; the elgin and walker bay wine regions of south africa; the mornington peninsula, adelaide hills, great southern, tasmania, and yarra valley in australia; and the central otago, martinborough, and marlborough wine regions of new zealand. pinot noir is the most planted varietal (38%) used in sparkling wine production in champagne and other wine regions.pinot noir is a difficult variety to cultivate and transform into wine. the grape's tendency to produce tightly packed clusters makes it susceptible to several viticultural hazards involving rot that require diligent canopy management. the thin skins and low levels of phenolic compounds lend pinot to producing mostly lightly colored, medium-bodied and low-tannin wines that can often go through phases of uneven and unpredictable aging. when young, wines made from pinot noir tend to have red-fruit aromas of cherries, raspberries, and strawberries. as the wine ages, pinot has the potential to develop more vegetal and "barnyard" aromas that can contribute to the complexity of the wine.

Drink

Blaufränkisch

Blaufränkisch (german for blue frankish) is a dark-skinned variety of grape used for red wine. blaufränkisch, which is a late-ripening variety, produces red wines which are typically rich in tannin and may exhibit a pronounced spicy character.the grape is grown across central europe, including austria, czech republic (in particular southern moravia where it is known as frankovka), germany, slovakia (where it is known as frankovka modrá), croatia, serbia (frankovka), slovenia (known as modra frankinja), and italy (franconia). in hungary the grape is called kékfrankos (also lit. blue frankish) and is grown in a number of wine regions including sopron, villány, szekszárd, and eger (where it is a major ingredient in the famous red wine blend known as egri bikavér (lit. bull's blood) having largely replaced the kadarka grape). it has been called "the pinot noir of the east" because of its spread and reputation in eastern europe. in america the grape is also known as lemberger, blauer limberger or blue limberger and grown in pennsylvania, washington state, michigan, new jersey, idaho, new york, colorado, ohio, virginia. and california,dna profiling has shown that blaufränkisch is a cross between gouais blanc (weißer heunisch; male parent) and blaue zimmettraube (female parent; the offspring of blauer gänsfüsser). historical sources of grapevine classification have provided very solid evidence that the geographic area of origin of the variety is lower styria (today slovenian styria). for a long time before the application of dna analysis, blaufränkisch was erroneously thought to be a clone of the gamay grape variety, due to certain similarities in morphology and possibly due to its name gamé in bulgaria.the german name lemberger derives from the fact that it was imported to germany in the 19th century from lemberg in lower styria in present-day slovenia and then in the austro-hungarian empire. an 1877 export of lembergerreben to germany has been recorded. the almost identical name limberger refers to limburg at maissau in lower austria, where in the late 19th century "ungrafted limberg blaufränkisch vines" (wurzelechte limberger blaufränkisch-reben) were offered for sale.

Drink

Chardonnay

Chardonnay (uk: , us: , french: [ʃaʁdɔnɛ] (listen)) is a green-skinned grape variety used in the production of white wine. the variety originated in the burgundy wine region of eastern france, but is now grown wherever wine is produced, from england to new zealand. for new and developing wine regions, growing chardonnay is seen as a 'rite of passage' and an easy entry into the international wine market.the chardonnay grape itself is neutral, with many of the flavors commonly associated with the wine being derived from such influences as terroir and oak. it is vinified in many different styles, from the lean, crisply mineral wines of chablis, france, to new world wines with oak and tropical fruit flavors. in cool climates (such as chablis and the carneros ava of california), chardonnay wine tends to be medium to light body with noticeable acidity and flavors of green plum, apple, and pear. in warmer locations (such as the adelaide hills and mornington peninsula in australia and gisborne and marlborough region of new zealand), the flavors become more citrus, peach, and melon, while in very warm locations (such as the central coast ava of california), more fig and tropical fruit notes such as banana and mango come out. wines that have gone through malolactic fermentation tend to have softer acidity and fruit flavors with buttery mouthfeel and hazelnut notes.chardonnay is an important component of many sparkling wines around the world, including champagne and franciacorta in italy. chardonnay's popularity peaked in the late 1980s, then gave way to a backlash among those wine connoisseurs who saw the grape as a leading negative component of the globalization of wine. nonetheless, it is one of the most widely planted grape varieties, with 210,000 hectares (520,000 acres) worldwide, second only to airén among white wine grapes and fifth among all wine grapes.

Drink

Gewürztraminer

Gewürztraminer (german: [ɡəˈvʏʁtstʁaˈmiːnɐ]) is an aromatic wine grape variety, used in white wines, and performs best in cooler climates. in english, it is sometimes referred to colloquially as gewürz (; although this is never the case in german, because "gewürz" means "herb" or "spice"), and in english and french it is written gewurztraminer (without the umlaut). gewürztraminer is a variety with a pink to red skin colour, which makes it a "white wine grape" as opposed to the blue to black-skinned varieties commonly referred to as "red wine grapes". the variety has high natural sugar and the wines are white and usually off-dry, with a flamboyant bouquet of lychees. indeed, gewürztraminer and lychees share the same aroma compounds. dry gewürztraminers may also have aromas of roses, passion fruit and floral notes. it is not uncommon to notice some spritz (fine bubbles on the inside of the glass). gewürztraminer's sweetness may offset the spice in southeast asian cuisine.

Drink

Müller-Thurgau

Müller-thurgau is a white grape variety (sp. vitis vinifera) which was created by hermann müller from the swiss canton of thurgau in 1882 at the geisenheim grape breeding institute in germany. it is a crossing of riesling with madeleine royale. it is used to make white wine in germany, austria, northern italy, hungary, england, australia, the czech republic, slovakia, slovenia, new zealand, canada, the united states, belgium and japan. there are around 22,201 hectares (54,860 acres)) cultivated worldwide, which makes müller-thurgau the most widely planted of the so-called "new breeds" of grape varieties created since the late 19th century. although plantings have decreased significantly since the 1980s, as of 2019 it was still germany's second most planted variety at 11,400 hectares and 11.4% of the total vineyard surface. in 2007, the 125th anniversary was celebrated at the geisenheim grape breeding institute. müller-thurgau is also known as rivaner (austria, germany, luxembourg, and especially for dry wines), riesling x sylvaner, riesling-sylvaner, rizvanec (slovenia) and rizlingszilváni (hungary).

Riesling

Riesling (, ; german: [ˈʁiːslɪŋ] (listen)) is a white grape variety that originated in the rhine region. riesling is an aromatic grape variety displaying flowery, almost perfumed, aromas as well as high acidity. it is used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet, and sparkling white wines. riesling wines are usually varietally pure and are seldom oaked. as of 2004, riesling was estimated to be the world's 20th most grown variety at 48,700 hectares (120,000 acres) (with an increasing trend), but in terms of importance for quality wines, it is usually included in the "top three" white wine varieties together with chardonnay and sauvignon blanc. riesling is a variety that is highly "terroir-expressive", meaning that the character of riesling wines is greatly influenced by the wine's place of origin. in cool climates (such as many german wine regions), riesling wines tend to exhibit apple and tree fruit notes with noticeable levels of acidity that are sometimes balanced with residual sugar. a late-ripening variety that can develop more citrus and peach notes is grown in warmer climates (such as alsace and parts of austria). in australia, riesling is often noted for a characteristic lime note that tends to emerge in examples from the clare valley and eden valley in south australia. riesling's naturally high acidity and pronounced fruit flavors give wines made from the grape exceptional aging potential, with well-made examples from favorable vintages often developing smokey, honey notes, and aged german rieslings, in particular, taking on a "petrol" character.in 2015, riesling was the most grown variety in germany with 23.0% and 23,596 hectares (58,310 acres), and in the french region of alsace with 21.9% and 3,350 hectares (8,300 acres). in germany, the variety is particularly widely planted in the mosel, rheingau, nahe and pfalz wine regions. there are also significant plantings of riesling in austria, slovenia, serbia, czech republic, slovakia, luxembourg, northern italy, australia, new zealand, canada, south africa, china, ukraine, and the united states (washington, california, michigan and new york).

Drink

Sylvaner

Sylvaner or silvaner is a variety of white wine grape grown primarily in alsace and germany, where its official name is grüner silvaner. while the alsatian versions have primarily been considered simpler wines, it was included among the varieties that can be used to produce alsace grand cru wine in 2006, together with the four 'noble grapes' of alsace, although only in one vineyard, zotzenberg. this dichotomy is explained by the vigour of the sylvaner vine and the grape's neutral flavour, which can lead to blandness unless yields are controlled. on the other hand, it gives a blank canvas for the expression of terroir, and on good sites with skilled winemaking, sylvaner can produce elegant wines. it has high acidity but naturally reaches high must weights, so is often blended with other varieties such as riesling or elbling, and is sometimes made into a dessert wine.

Drink

Zweigelt

The zweigelt, also known as rotburger, is a new austrian grape created in 1922 by friedrich zweigelt (1888–1964), who later became director of the federal institute and experimental station of viticulture, fruit production and horticulture (1938–1945). it comprises a crossing between st. laurent and blaufränkisch.
