Australia wine culture
Speaking of Australia's wine culture, Australia people have never loved wine less than China people love rice. Have a drink or two when family and friends get together, have a drink with your date on a date, and even like to grab a bottle of wine and drink it when you are leisurely. In Australia, you can often see some elegant elderly people in their fifties, with gray hair, leisurely drinking wine in roadside restaurants. Of course, you will also see some minors entering various bars in the city center, drunk. Seeing this, you may ask, is Australia strict about wine management?
Let me give you an example. Many restaurants in Australia are not allowed to sell alcohol if they are not licensed. Even some cocktails with low alcohol content are prohibited. Therefore, in Australia, it is difficult for us to see some people acting like they are drunk at the table in China. Of course, some restaurants are licensed and can sell alcohol, but they also have strict regulations on alcohol content and concentration. Moreover, local Australia people drink moderately, and generally ordering a cocktail can accompany them to spend a leisurely afternoon.
Let's talk about Chinese restaurants in Australia. Maybe foreigners know the drinking habits of China. Generally, Chinese restaurants are not allowed to sell all drinks containing alcohol. It is said that once caught selling alcoholic drinks, he will not only be accompanied by heavy fines, but may also face prison. Therefore, many China tourists come to local Chinese restaurants in Australia and generally find it difficult to find wine. Australia's strict control over alcohol is not only on whether restaurants are authorized to sell alcohol, but also on those shops that sell alcohol. When we go to check out to buy alcohol, liquor sellers sometimes ask you to show relevant documents to check if you are of the legal age to drink. If you do not reach the prescribed age, it is generally impossible to get the wine you want from the wine seller. Moreover, wine shops in Australia are generally decorated in a manner that is not very eye-catching. To us China, they are just undecorated adobe walls. However, when you enter a wine shop, people often feel like a different world. There are a dazzling array of wines in them, almost everything you can think of. World Customs Network, you can choose the wine you want to drink at will and slowly.
Australia's wine culture has long penetrated into all aspects of people's lives. Unlike China, Australia not only drink two glasses on formal occasions, but also open a bottle of red wine and share it with others in informal leisure occasions such as friends 'gatherings. However, Australia's strict control over alcohol does have a lot of things that we in China should learn from and reflect on. For example, how to prevent the spread of alcohol among young people and how to avoid the tragedy of drunk driving. I think that although strict control over the sale of alcohol cannot completely eliminate the occurrence of such accidents, it can at least greatly reduce the probability of occurrence.
