Nevermind the Guinness: You Can’t Have an Irish Bar Without Craic

Imbibe Magazine

A lot of Anglophones stumble over the Irish language. We say “slayne-tuh” instead of sláinte and lose all confidence when consonant combinations like b-h-f appear.

While it’s possible to fall in love with whiskey through an advanced style like an aggressive rye or a heavily peated Scotch , it’s usually wiser to find a more approachable bottle to ease into the category.

How Sparkling Wine Works

Cheers

All wines are bubbly at some point because carbon dioxide is a byproduct of fermenting sugar into alcohol. However, this natural carbonation is usually allowed to dissipate, leaving a still wine behind. Why? It is much easier to allow carbon dioxide to escape than to preserve it. Finding a means to preserve carbonation is a tremendous challenge, since wine must be kept under pressure continuously at every step of production, transport and storage.
