头条：雷司令7月回归！Riesling Returns! July is Too Short to Drink Bad Wine

那些爱说 “人生苦短，不能喝劣质酒” 的人，如果他们生活在雷司令 (Riesling)——一种葡萄酿造的葡萄酒，CHEERS为它庆祝一整个7月，第一次受到关注的时候，可能就不会那么挑剔了。

People who love to proclaim “life is too short to drink bad wine” might have been less picky had they lived when Riesling -- a grape CHEERS is celebrating all month long -- first came to attention.

雷司令 (Riesling)的推广者指出，1435年，也就是现在的德国，是雷司令葡萄的诞生地。活在这样一个时代真好!

Promotors of Riesling point to the year 1435, in what is now Germany, as the grape’s birthday. What a time to be alive!

欧洲部分地区经常遭受战争的蹂躏。流行病普遍: 这片大陆700年前的黑死病夺走了三分之一的人口。寻找干净的饮用水和营养丰富的食物一直是个挑战。

Parts of Europe was regularly ravaged by wars. Epidemics were rife: heck, the continent was still recovering from the Black Plague that wiped out up a third of the population. And finding clean drinking water and nourishing food were always challenges.

那时，小编猜人们只是简单地说 “生命太短暂了” ，并希望享受一切葡萄酒。

Back then, I’m guessing people were simply saying “life is too short” and hoping to enjoy any wine at all.

不管怎么说，现在我们很容易就能买到很多美味的葡萄酒，包括世界上最好的白葡萄之一雷司令。都说无雷司令不夏天，那这个夏天让我们相约CHEERS，一起品尝一下CHEERS的这六瓶雷司令。

Anyway, these days we have the luxury of easy access to loads of delicious wine, including Riesling, one of the world’s great white wine grapes. Here are bottles six to try.

Alsace & Mosel

福

莱庄园雷司令干白葡萄酒

这款来自法国阿尔萨斯 (Alsace)地区的柔和纯净的葡萄酒具有柑橘和桃子的风味，同时还带有淡淡的白花香气，余味悠长。

This soft pure wine from the Alsace region of France offers zingy citrus and peach character, hints of white flowers – think Chrysanthemum – and a zesty tingly finish.

多

纳图雷司令干白葡萄酒

这款酒来自德国的摩泽尔地区 (Mosel)，这里是德国雷司令 (Riesling)的总部所在地。这款酒优雅、干爽，带有浓郁的柑橘类水果和精细的矿物质味。

Hailing from Germany’s Mosel region, the headquarters of the country’s Riesling, this wine is elegant, dry and lean, with tight citrus fruit and zingy minerality.

Mosel

皮

特彼得陡峭山坡雷司令干白葡萄酒

Peter & Peter Feinherb

这款摩泽尔葡萄酒的甜味(略)更高——Feinherb指的是甜度水平。充盈着水果的味道，包括成熟的桃子和苹果，再加上酸橙的味道。

This fellow Mosel wine offers a (slightly) more sugary experience -- Feinherb refers to the sweetness level. Expect fruitiness, including ripe peach and apple, plus a lime edge.

摩

泽之王雷司令半甜白葡萄酒

Konigsmosel

第四款摩泽尔雷司令，气味芳香，带有成熟的果园水果味的香气，并带有花香和柑橘的味道。口感轻盈，略带甜味，酒精含量8.5%。

Our fourth Mosel Riesling is, like Peter & Peter, slightly sweet and loaded with ripe orchard fruit character to go along with floral and citrus notes. A fairly light tipple at just 8.5 percent alcohol.

Rheinhessen & Nahe

红

衣乐园德国雷司令半甜葡萄酒

Tussock Jumper Riesling

红衣乐园带我们从摩泽尔产区到莱茵黑森，一个更温暖、更干燥的地区。此酒微甜，带有甜瓜和柑橘的味道，酸度高。

Tussock takes us on a short trip from Mosel to Rheinhessen, a warmer and drier region. This slightly sweet wine offers melon and citrus character, with lots of acidity.

SUMMER

托

马斯雷司令半甜白葡萄酒

Thomas Riesling

最后，从莱茵黑森到纳赫，纳赫是德国较小的葡萄酒产区之一，但土壤多样。这款酒带有青苹果和柑橘的香气，加上纳赫的石板带来的矿物质味。

Finally, one last short jaunt, from Rheinhessen to Nahe, which ranks among Germany’s smaller wine regions but compensates with diverse soils. Expect green apple and citrus character, plus minerality due to Nahe’s slate.

最重要的是，CHEERS 一整个7月对这些雷司令葡萄酒都有促销活动：购买任意两瓶可享8.5折优惠，任意四瓶享8折优惠。生命太短暂，对美好的事情心动了，就行动起来吧~

Best of all, CHEERS has a promotion on all of these wines throughout July: buy any two bottles and get 15% off, any four and get 20%. Life is too short to pass on good deals.
