What is wine culture　什么是酒文化
     Wine is an alcoholic beverage, made of fermented fruit juice, usually from grapes. The natural chemical balance of grapes lets them ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes, or other nutrients. Grape wine is produced by fermenting crushed grapes using various types of yeast. Yeast consumes the sugars in the grapes and converts them into alcohol. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts produce different types of wine.
     Wine has a rich history dating back thousands of years, with the earliest known production occurring around 8,000 years ago on the territory of modern-day Georgia. It first appeared in the Balkans at about 4500 BC and was very common in ancient Greece, Thrace and Rome. Wine has also played an important role in religion throughout history. The Greek god Dionysus and the Roman equivalent Bacchus represented wine, and the drink is also used in Christian Eucharist ceremonies and the Jewish Kiddush.
     Wine Clubs are a developing extension of modern wine culture. Wine clubs are designed to provide customers with a series of wine bottles on a monthly or quarterly basis that they would otherwise have to find and purchase on their own. Wine clubs often behave in a themed manner, providing recipients with red wines, white wines, or a mixture of the two. Wine clubs are most frequently offered by vineyards or specialty wine shops, but they can also be found as independent bodies.
     酒文化（wine culture）是指酒在生产、销售、消费过程中所产生的物质文化(material culture)和精神文化(spiritual culture)的总称。酒文化包括酒的制法、品法、作用、历史等酒文化现象。既有酒自身的物质特征(physical characteristics)，也有品酒所形成的精神内涵(spiritual connotation)，是制酒饮酒活动过程中形成的特定文化形态(culture type)。酒文化在中国源远流长，不少文人学士(scholars and men of letters)写下了品评鉴赏美酒佳酿(vintage wine)的著述，留下了斗酒、写诗、作画、养生(health maintenance)、宴会(banquet)、饯行等酒坛佳话。酒作为一种特殊的文化载体(culture carrier)，在人类交往(interpersonal interaction)中占有独特的地位。酒文化已经渗透到人类社会生活中的各个领域，对文学艺术、医疗卫生(health and medicine)、工农业生产、政治经济各方面都有着巨大的影响和作用。
