May I take a few minutes and say something about Champagne?v欢迎光临我们的香槟品酒会。

请允许我简单介绍一下香槟酒vChampagne, for many, is simply the most romantic drink. The pop of the opening cork, the sigh of the release of gas, and the gentle, alluring fizz as the glass fills. What could go better with a candlelit dinner just for two on Valentine’s Day?v对许多人来说，香槟是最浪漫的饮料开启酒瓶时软木塞的嘭然声，气体释放时的咝咝声，倒入酒杯时诱人的嘶嘶声，情人节两人世界的烛光晚宴上有什么比香槟更合适呢？vChampagne is one of the world’s unique flavors. The creation of a good champagne is akin to something else often associated with love and romance – fine perfume. In deed, the link between the happy life and fizz is close. Champagne is one of the international symbols of a certain kind of pleasure. Why do people dream of driving a BMW or a Mercedes? Any car will do the trick – but some cars are about more than just getting there. And some drinks are about more than just drinking.v香槟是世界上口味独特的饮香槟是世界上口味独特的饮料之一。

一瓶上等香槟的效料之一一瓶上等香槟的效果好似一瓶洋溢着爱和浪漫果好似一瓶洋溢着爱和浪漫气息的上乘香水的确如此，气息的上乘香水的确如此，幸福生活和气体饮料密切相幸福生活和气体饮料密切相关香槟是国际上表示某种关香槟是国际上表示某种欢乐的标志人们为什么梦欢乐的标志人们为什么梦寐以求能拥有一辆宝马或奔寐以求能拥有一辆宝马或奔驰这类好车驰这类好车?任何车都可以任何车都可以当作坐骑到达某地，但是有当作坐骑到达某地，但是有些车的作用不仅仅限于到达些车的作用不仅仅限于到达某地同样，有些饮料的作某地同样，有些饮料的作用不仅仅在于饮用用不仅仅在于饮用vFew flavors in the world can match that of champagne. It is a truly unique taste, created by a complex and painstaking process. That process takes a legal minimum of 15 months. The bottles are turned every day for weeks on end. And it’s in this painstaking process that makes champagne such an allure. It’s about far more than just alcohol.v世界上几乎没有哪一种世界上几乎没有哪一种饮料的口味可以与香槟饮料的口味可以与香槟的口味相媲美。

香槟确的口味相媲美香槟确实口味独特，这种口味实口味独特，这种口味是通过复杂而艰辛的酿是通过复杂而艰辛的酿造过程而获得的按规造过程而获得的按规定这一酿造过程历时至定这一酿造过程历时至少少15个月，其间连续数个月，其间连续数周每瓶香槟天天都要翻周每瓶香槟天天都要翻转正是这一艰辛的制转正是这一艰辛的制作过程才赋予了香槟如作过程才赋予了香槟如此诱人的魅力香槟的此诱人的魅力香槟的意义已远远超出了酒的意义已远远超出了酒的意义vFor me it’s a wonderful thought that almost anywhere I go in the world, the flavor is waiting for me in the bottle. v对我来说，无论我来到对我来说，无论我来到世界何方，天南地北几世界何方，天南地北几乎都有香槟相待，一想乎都有香槟相待，一想到此，令人心满意足到此，令人心满意足vWhile countries all over the world can produce wine, only the Champagne region of France can produce the eponymous drink. The tiny carbon dioxide bubbles in champagne allow the body to absorb the alcohol at an especially high rate.

Some others like champagne because it can quicken the pulse and raise the mood perfectly well.v虽然世界各国都能酿酒，虽然世界各国都能酿酒，但是只有法国香槟地区才但是只有法国香槟地区才能酿造出这种同名汽酒。

The driest style, using the least sugar, is called extra-brut, but the bulk of the region’s production is the very slightly sweeter brut. And the difference between non-vintage and vintage is that the former uses grapes from several different years and the latter uses grapes from just one year – but it must be a good year, and in some years no vintage champagne is made at all.v香槟按其在发酵过程中所含香槟按其在发酵过程中所含糖份的糖份的“剂量剂量"分类。

最干分类最干的香槟含糖量最低，叫做的香槟含糖量最低，叫做“偏酸型偏酸型"，法国香槟地区生，法国香槟地区生产的香槟主要为稍带甜味的产的香槟主要为稍带甜味的微甜酸酒普通香槟和精制微甜酸酒普通香槟和精制香槟的不同之处在于前者使香槟的不同之处在于前者使用不同年份的葡萄酿制，而用不同年份的葡萄酿制，而后者使用同一年份的葡萄酿后者使用同一年份的葡萄酿制制——但是必须是一个好年但是必须是一个好年份，有些年份则连一瓶精制份，有些年份则连一瓶精制香槟都酿造不出来香槟都酿造不出来vNewcomers to wine sometimes worry needlessly about matching food and wine. They shouldn’t. If it feels good, just do it. Of course, spicy foods should be avoided. Oversweet dishes will also spoil the taste. v初尝葡萄酒者有时不知初尝葡萄酒者有时不知道如何选择下酒菜，这道如何选择下酒菜，这种担心实在没有必要种担心实在没有必要。

如果感觉好吃，就开怀如果感觉好吃，就开怀大吃当然，辛辣的食大吃当然，辛辣的食物还是应该避免，过甜物还是应该避免，过甜的菜肴也会破坏口味的菜肴也会破坏口味vAnd one of the delights of Chinese food is its range – it’s fairly easy to tailor a perfectly good Chinese meal that will go well with wines.v中国菜的美味之一是其中国菜的美味之一是其种类繁多的菜式，我们种类繁多的菜式，我们很容易选择一种与饮用很容易选择一种与饮用葡萄酒相得益彰的菜肴葡萄酒相得益彰的菜肴vI recommend balancing oily, richer dishes, with delicate vegetable tastes. Duck goes especially well with champagne. And many of the simpler vegetables, such as bean dishes, are good too. But really it boils down to just one thing – find out for yourself. v我建议将油腻味重的食我建议将油腻味重的食物与清淡爽口的素食搭物与清淡爽口的素食搭配起来。

鸭子特别适合配起来鸭子特别适合做香槟的下酒菜，许多做香槟的下酒菜，许多更为简易的素菜如豆类更为简易的素菜如豆类菜都是不错的选择当菜都是不错的选择当然，其实只有一条标准，然，其实只有一条标准，那就是自己喜欢就是好那就是自己喜欢就是好的vA good wine, or a vintage champagne, is like a person you’ve met whose personality you don’t forget. Likewise, a bottle of good champagne is nothing but the ideal companion for a delicious meal where you don’t want your personality to be easily forgotten, either.vNow feel free to sample our champagne selections.v遇到一瓶上等葡萄酒，遇到一瓶上等葡萄酒，或者说一瓶精制香槟，或者说一瓶精制香槟，就像遇到一个个性令你就像遇到一个个性令你难以忘怀的人同样，难以忘怀的人。
