Wine
Uncork the Unexpected
All About Wine Wine is an alcoholic beverage fermented with grape juice. The contents of wine are usually water, alcohol, acid, sugar, and phenolic compounds like anthocyanins, tannins, and vanilla. Wine color and general style are known by the type of grape used and the amount of skin contact during juice extraction. There is no relation between wine color and its sweetness. The flavor of the wine will also change by the region where grapes are grown.
Popular Types of Wine : The two most popular types include white wine and red wine. These types further divide into sub-types, giving options to drink different tastes.
Red wine types include cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, merlot, syrah/shiraz, and more. Cabernet Sauvignon with dark fruit flavors is a rich red wine. White wine types include chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, moscato, riesling, and more. Chardonnay is a favorite of wine specialists for its citrusy notes and tropical flavors.
Sparkling wine is for celebratory moments to enjoy the special occasion. Types of sparkling wines are white, rose, brut, and more.
If you want to drink something sweet, then the Rose & Blush wine must be on your list! Given the palate of vanilla, rose, and flavors of fruits, the rose & blush wine is perfect for a gift or to have on a romantic occasion.

Beer
A thousand different brands from all over the world, with their own unique flavour and taste. “All under one name”
All About Beer In the broadest sense, “beer” is any alcoholic beverage made by the fermentation of grain, just as wine is any alcoholic beverage made by the fermentation of fruit. In the vast majority of the world’s beers, the grain base is barley.
Beer is the most widespread and popular fermented alcoholic beverage and the third most consumed beverage in the world. Only water and tea are more popular than beer. Over the centuries, it lost some of its reputation as it went from being the drink of the gods to a readily available beverage drunk by the working masses to quench their thirst. But his reputation is quickly returning. Today, modern breweries are creating more and more different new styles and flavours, and the beer market has become extremely diverse and competitive. Even in Slovenia, we are big fans and connoisseurs of good beer, which is nicely reflected in our many excellent breweries.
Beer families and styles : Beer is basically divided into two large families and one slightly smaller one, which are related to the type of yeast used to convert sugar into ethanol and carbon dioxide as a byproduct of fermentation. This is how we know bottom-fermented beers or lager beers and top-fermented beers or ales. There are also sour beers of wild fermentation, where the beer is exposed to environmental organisms, which upon contact with the wort start the process of spontaneous fermentation. Each of these families is further divided into beer styles. There are currently around 120 of them, and the number grows every year, mainly thanks to boutique brewers who erase and tear down these frames and thus create new styles. Each style of beer has predefined characteristics that it must meet in order to fit into this framework. These characteristics are color, bitterness, alcohol level and style-specific ingredients.
- Sour Beer
- Lagers
- Stout
Sour beers are often popular with beer lovers looking for something different and unique. Due to their high acidity, sour beers are often paired with foods such as fish, shellfish, salads, sauerkraut, cheese and fruit.
