Fun Facts About Wine
Wine drink is an ancient tradition that has been around for centuries. Also its fermentation process takes years and decades to achieve the perfect taste!
People chose wine over water back in ancient times because a natural fermentation of wine successfully killed salmonella and cholera.
Table and wine grapes are totally different. Table grapes have a thin skin, and over the years, farmers have managed to breed them to be seedless or have very small seeds. But wine grapes are smaller, have thicker skins and lots of seeds.
The top three producers of wine in the world are France, Spain, and Italy. Also the US (California) ranks fourth, followed by China in fifth place.
It’s said that Thomas Jefferson may be responsible for the California wine boom because after being to France on a visit, Jefferson brought vine cuttings back to the United States.
In Armenia, the officially oldest known winery in the world is situated in a cave in the mountains of Armenia.
For pairing in meals, heavier food goes best with a heavier wine. Hence, red wine is usually served with red meat and white wine is served with chicken or fish.

A Perfect Chilling Drink
Health Benefits of Blueberries
Antioxidant powerhouse: Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which give them their vibrant blue color. Antioxidants help protect the body against oxidative stress and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and age-related cognitive decline.
Heart health: The antioxidants in blueberries, along with their high fibre content, may contribute to heart health. Studies suggest that regular consumption of blueberries may help lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Cognitive function: Blueberries have been linked to improved brain health and cognitive function. Research suggests that the antioxidants and phytochemicals in blueberries may delay brain aging, enhance memory, and improve overall cognitive performance.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Chronic inflammation is associated with various diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Blueberries contain compounds with anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce inflammation and protect against these conditions.
Blood sugar management: Blueberries have a relatively low glycemic index, meaning they have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels. They contain fiber and antioxidants that may help improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels, making them a good choice for individuals with diabetes or those aiming to manage blood sugar levels.
Digestive health: Blueberries are a good source of dietary fibre, which supports digestive health. Fibre promotes regular bowel movements, prevents constipation, and supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Eye health: Blueberries contain compounds like vitamin C, vitamin E, and antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which are beneficial for eye health. These nutrients may help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
Expert Tips for the Best Berry Spritzer with White Wine
You can easily turn the drink into a red wine spritzer by swapping the white wine for red wine.
If you don’t have any strawberries and blueberries, you may also use other berries. For example, it could be blackberries, acai berries, or even cherries!
Add some stevia sweetener if you prefer your drink to be more sugary!
If you add the blueberry syrup, your cocktail gets an amazing purple colour with a pinch of sweetness.
For a more refreshing taste, you can also garnish the drink with some mint leaves.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Definitely. Apples, pears, and peaches would perfectly taste in your spritzer with white wine.
You can use any wine of your preference because this drink will always turn out to be pretty tasty and it never goes wrong.
This drink is served very cold, so you can prepare it a few minutes before serving, but not too far in advance. Otherwise the ice will melt and berries get too mushy.
It’s perfect for all times when you want something special! Dinner parties, wedding showers, birthdays, brunch, and much more! But it even goes well at baby showers if you leave out the wine and add extra sparkling water.
The drink is going to lose its fizz after it sits for a while. Hence, if you still save it for later, then keep it cold, and don’t add ice until before serving. Also, drink it within 1 day maximum.
Absolutely no. You can surely skip the wine completely and serve this drink as a ‘mocktail.’ You just have to double the sparkling water so that kids and pregnant women enjoy a fizzy and tasty drink.
