Korean people who like wine

 Wine is made by fermenting grapes, and when distilled, it becomes brandy, and when distilled from sugarcane, it becomes rum, so it is a type of distilled alcohol like our soju.

Yeongdong, Chungcheongbuk-do is also a major grape producing region, but as a county policy, it has introduced wineries and wine trains and is promoting them in various ways on a large scale.

Major producing regions include Yeongcheon and Gimcheon in Gyeongbuk, and Hwaseong in Gyeonggi, but recently, it seems that many regions have been cultivating them as a local fruit.

We eat grapes as a living thing, and do not process them separately. At best, we have made grape jam or wine, but this is a recent development.

Wine is stored in oak barrels for a long time, like rum made from corn, and it is said that the taste and aroma change during that period, transforming it into a high-quality wine.

In a high-end bar in Gangnam, Seoul, there was a case where high-end cognac was found to be fake along with rum, and RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tags were attached to the entrance to manage it.

The secret to the health of the French is that they eat slowly and drink a glass of wine in the morning, which is known as a Mediterranean diet and a longevity diet. It is said that cheeses such as Camembert topped with caviar go well with this as a side dish.

However, in the Bordeaux region of southern France, which is the main producing region, vineyards are being converted to other crops due to the expansion of grape cultivation areas and decrease in consumption.
