Is Wine Fattening

So, summer is here, and there is always a dilemma that drinking a hot summer day. Yes, a cold lager is refreshing, but sometimes it is good to have something different, and lager is a bit more fattening liquid. The wine is perfect for a summer day. In this article we will cover the great summer wines, and also give you some ideas on how to use it to make it even more special.

The first thing that comes to mind when one speaks of wine to drink in summer is Sauvignon Blanc. This sharp, dry wine is ideal for summer drinking, just make sure you relax and make the best of him. When looking for a Sauvignon Blanc, look for one that comes from New Zealand, this white wine offers something a little more special. These wines are the best types of wine created from this grape, and those are the ones most acclaimed Bay cloudy areas of Marlborough in New Zealand.

But what if you're not too keen on white wine?

There are some very good German sweet white wines, when chilled, are refreshing and add something completely different from the norm.

In addition, a Portuguese friend of mine keeps her red wine in the fridge too. She does not like white wine, and swears by a chilled red wine instead, which is great in the Algarve, where temperatures are very high.

For those of us not quite ready to chill the red wine, there is a happy medium. There are some spectacular rosed wines on the market. He is fantastic with picnics and barbecues, and also great to sit and drink with friends. There is something about the fruit of a rose that makes you think of the past summers and good times you had.

But there are many other ways to enjoy white wine too. It is the traditional shorle spritzer, which is white wine mixed with soda or lemonade (depending on whether you like things to be a little sweeter or not), and served with ice. This is an excellent refreshing drink.

It is also the favorite Spanish Sangria, where red wine is put into a pot with fruit, liquors and fruit juice or lemonade. This is the base drink on the Costa Brava, and is best if left in the fridge for a while, let the flavors blend together to ensure the perfect summer cooler.

In Germany, they are what is called Bowle (This is German for punch). This implies again fresh fruit, strawberries or raspberries often, which are then mixed with sparkling wine. The result is a sparkling, fruity treat you well cool. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can add a little brandy to the mix to give some extra excitement.

So, whatever style you are drinking, there is an option for the summer wine that will suit you.
