Quenching thirst without alcohol
It is extremely important to drink enough, as the human body depends on regular fluid intake. The German Society for Nutrition recommends that every adult drinks 1.5 liters of fluid per day. The amount of fluid should not be less than 1.0 liter per day. After all, the water consumed by the human body has to perform numerous functions. Among other things, it provides nutrients to the organs and transports breakdown products. Since any physical activity causes a loss of water, this must be replenished at regular intervals. Extreme water losses are always to be expected when the body is subjected to particular strains - for example, in the case of extreme outside temperatures, fever or strenuous physical work. On average, the loss of water through digestion, sweating and breathing is about 2.6 liters. Healthy people react with a natural thirst sensation when the water loss is about two percent. A water shortage only occurs when the blood concentration has increased by five percent or more.
Undoubtedly, the best way to quench thirst is water in the form of tap water (provided the water quality is really good) or mineral water. However, if you would like to use other drinks than just plain water to quench your thirst, you can also use unsweetened herbal or fruit teas. Fruit juices should be mixed with mineral water rather than consumed pure. The mixing ratio of juice to water should be at least 1:1, preferably 1:2. Neither soft drinks nor energy drinks are suitable thirst quenchers for adults or children, as they contain so much sugar that they have a negative effect on weight and the speed of the body's water intake. Although many children like to drink milk, it is more to be considered as a good calcium supplier than a thirst-quenching drink. Products of the subcategory long-life milk and cream give you the opportunity to have liquid milk products on hand for all eventualities.
Soft drinks such as lemonades, fruit juice drinks and fruit spritzers are alcohol-free, but should not be drunk in too large quantities due to the sugar and artificial additives they contain. So-called light drinks have significantly fewer calories than sugary soft drinks. However, scientists suspect that frequent consumption of light soft drinks is associated with similar health risks as sugar-sweetened soft drinks. Therefore, it is quite recommended to occasionally create soft drinks yourself: choose a mineral water, squeeze out the juice of a lemon and choose a fruit syrup from our range. Half a liter of mineral water with the lemon juice should be supplemented with about 50 milliliters of fruit syrup.
Drinks for every occasion
Whether it's a glass of wine in front of the TV, beer for a cozy evening with friends or water for the office - drinks are needed everywhere. And that's a good thing, because the human body needs at least two liters of fluid per day. Thanks to the large selection, even those who are not particularly fond of drinking will find a suitable drink here. But drinking can and should also be a pleasure. It is no coincidence that the enjoyment of high-quality wines, cognacs or other fine drops is celebrated like hardly anything else. For this reason, you will find here not only commercial lemonades, refreshing drinks and spritzers, but also these exquisite products. A good wine, whiskey or champagne is a wonderful gift for a loved one, for example.
Alcoholic drinks can be broadly divided into beer, wine, spirits and mixed drinks. Essential distinguishing features are the alcohol content, the ingredients and the production method. The applicable EU food law stipulates that only agricultural products may be used as raw materials for alcoholic beverages. In particular, alcohol that is ultimately intended to be used as a drink must not be produced synthetically. Drinkable alcohol can be obtained either by fermentation or distillation. Any alcoholic fermentation causes the breakdown of carbohydrates into ethanol and carbon dioxide. The best examples of products based on fermented carbohydrates are beer and wine. Until the mid-19th century, it was not known that yeasts were responsible for the formation of alcohol. Rather, people simply took advantage of the natural conversion of sugary liquids into alcohol. To this day, there are some winemakers who rely on nature after setting the mash and use the yeasts contained in the skins for spontaneous fermentation. Since the regionally occurring yeast strains differ quite significantly from each other, wines with a distinctive character can be produced. One disadvantage of this natural process is the longer fermentation time compared to the use of pure yeast. While sugar-containing grape juice is required for the production of wine, beer brewers require starchy mash that is converted into sugar. After boiling the wort, yeast is added to initiate the necessary fermentation process. The interaction of the wort recipe and yeast variety leads after fermentation to top-fermented or bottom-fermented beer.

The drinks offered here are available in various price ranges and from various brands.

The distillation process is used to produce spirits. The most popular spirits in this country include herbal liqueurs, cream liqueurs and vodka. Especially in the case of vodka, spirits are not only consumed pure, but are often also part of a mixed drink. Any distillation is based on a boiling process. The steam that is created in the process must be brought back into liquid form by cooling in a condenser. Continuous and discontinuous distillation processes must be distinguished. Typical of continuous distillation is the constant supply of new mash. The patent process is a variant of continuous distillation which is mainly used for the production of grain whisky. Discontinuous distillation is characterized by the batchwise addition of mash to the still. This process is used, for example, to produce double distillate, with a first distillate and a subsequent fine distillate.
