喝白葡萄酒就可以免去

Because drinking white wine could prevent

这种难堪的局面

天公作美 没想到勃艮第

God bless, it was unexpected that the quality

酿出来的白葡萄酒

white wine brewed from those white grapes

也丝毫不亚于红酒的香美

was not inferior to fragrance and delicacy of red wine .

让查理大帝一喝成瘾

So, Charlemagne was addicted to drink white wine.

很快 这块白葡萄园

was selected to be in the lists for superfine and famous yards,

并从此得了“顿查理曼

and was given the title of “superfine vineyard

白葡萄去皮后

用葡萄汁发酵酿制酒

淡黄色的酒体清澄透明

Flavescent wine body is lucid and lucent,

酒香中混合着肉桂 烤苹果

黄油的迷人味道

查理大帝就这样端着酒杯
