Champagne
What’s a celebration without Champagne? Champagne has become the drink of celebration over the years since Dom Perignon accidentally created a wine with sparkling golden bubbles. Many customers often confuse Champagnes & Sparkling Wines, but there is a remarkable difference between both which exceeds taste and style. The name ‘Champagne’, under regulations and laws, is exclusive to sparkling wines produced in the French region of Champagne. It is made using three grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay) that are combined to produce a still wine. The wine is bottled with sugar and yeast and allowed to mature in the cellars for a minimum of 12 months. During maturation, alcohol is produced and carbon dioxide is trapped in the bottle which results in the sparkling bubbles we see when we pour a glass of Moet & Chandon or Veuve Clicquot. It is further processed to give it unique characteristics of complexity, aromatic flavours, distinctive taste, and class. There are several general factors that influence the pricing of a Champagne bottle, they include the limited land of the region, the prestige that Champagne has developed worldwide, and the high cost of the production process, among several other factors. Some prestigious…

Whiskey
Whisky which originates from Ireland and Scotland; (Bourbon and Rye are the US versions of Whisky). Whisky is a distilled spirit of around 40% alcohol by volume, which is made from a variety of fermented grains such as barley, corn, rye and wheat; these grains are sometimes malted but they must always be aged in wooden casks (normally made from white oak). Whisky is traditionally distilled in copper stills in order to remove the sulphur-based compounds, which can render it bitter to the taste. As Whiskies do not mature in the bottle, the age of a whisky is solely measured by the length of time between its distillation and its bottling. In its youth, Whiskey was not permitted to age and was therefore a much harsher spirit, barely resembling the smooth drink, which we all know, and love today. Whiskey is normally drank neat in a Whiskey tumbler but it can be drank with cold water or ice. According to written records, the earliest production of Whiskey is recorded in Ireland in 1405 cited in the Annals of Clonmacnoise; the first record of Whiskey in Scotland is cited almost 90 years later in 1494. The Old Bushmills Distillery is the…
Blended Scotch Whisky
Blended scotches are, as the name suggests, a combination of two or more scotch whiskies. Blended Malt Whiskey is a fusion of single malt whiskeys from different distilleries; if a bottle is labelled ‘malt’ or ‘pure malt’, it is most likely to be a blended malt; creating an aroma and flavour of the brand as opposed to the distillery. Blended Whiskey is a medley of different types of Whiskey from many different distilleries, thereby enabling the blender to produce a strain, which is consistent with their brand as opposed to that of any particular distillery. Most Scotch, Irish and Canadian Whiskey is sold as part of a blend, even when the spirits are the product of one distillery. Owing to a recent increase in the popularity of sweet-tasting alcoholic beverages, many American Whiskey purveyors have started to produce Liqueur Whiskeys. Although such products have recently become popular, Liqueur whiskeys have been routinely made by Scottish distillers for more than 100 years. As with their US counterparts, traditional Scotch Liqueur whiskies often use honey to sweeten them; however, they enhance their depth and flavour by using other ingredients such as citrus, coffee, almonds, cinnamon, vanilla, herbs and spices. Next time you…
Bourbon
Bourbon whiskey is a type of American whiskey, a barrel-aged distilled spirit made primarily from corn. American whiskey is distilled from a mash of fermented cereal grain, which contains the aroma and characteristics commonly attributed to Whiskey. There are six main categories of American Whiskey: Bourbon which must contain at least 51% corn; Corn whiskey which is made from a mash of 80% corn; Malt whiskey must contain at least 51% malted barley; Rye Whiskey, which must contain 51% rye; Malted Rye Whiskey – made from a mash of 51% malted rye and Wheat whiskey which is made from at least 51% wheat. An additional labelling in the US Whiskey market place is that of Tennessee Whiskey; the only defining difference between a Bourbon and a Tennessee Whiskey is that a Tennessee Whiskey is charcoal filtered; whereas, a Bourbon is not. By US Whiskey Law American whiskey must be distilled to no more than 80% alcohol, by volume and barrelled at no more than 125 proof; only water can be added to the final product. American Whiskey must be aged in new oak charred-casks with the exception of Corn whiskey, which is not generally aged. If these whiskeys are aged…
Irish Whiskey
Irish Whiskeys are normally triple distilled; they are traditionally distilled in pot stills although the column still is now used to produce grain whiskey for blends. Irish Whiskey Regulations state that Irish whiskey must be produced in Ireland and aged in wooden casks for a period of at least 3 years (although in practice it is normally aged for 9—12 years). Any age statement on a bottle must refer to the youngest Whiskey used to create that particular blend. Irish Whiskey tends to be broken down into two main varieties: Malt Whiskey, which is made from malted barley, and Grain Whiskey, which is made from grains. Single Malt Whiskey is a single distilled whiskey, made from a single grain species; unless the bottle specifically states ‘single cask’, you can assume that it contains a blend comprised of many different casks, from many different years. This enables the distiller to purvey a taste and character, which is unique to their own distillery. Any additional age statements or maturation techniques are usually indicated, on the label. Cask Strength Whiskey (also be referred to as barrel strength whiskeys), are bottled from the cask without being diluted; they are exceptionally rare and normally only…
Japanese Whiskey
Japanese whisky as it name sounds is whisky produced in Japan. It was started around the 18th century but commercially produced in 1924 by the first distillery in Japan, the Yamazaki distillery. The Japanese whisky is somewhat similar to the scotch whisky than any other type of whisky.
Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Single malt Scotch is single malt whisky made in the country of Scotland, a part of the United Kingdom. For a whisky to qualify for this category, the whisky must have been distilled at a single distillery using a pot still distillation process and made from a mash of malted barley. As with any Scotch whisky, a single malt Scotch must be distilled in Scotland and matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years, although most single malts are matured longer.
Spirits
A Spirit is an alcoholic beverage, which has an alcohol content of circa 40%; however, alcoholic beverages, which are above 20%, are also classified as Spirits. The alcohol content in Spirits is produced by fermenting grain, fruit, or vegetables, which are then distilled to concentrate the alcohol. Spirits are believed to date back to the early Neolithic period circa 10,000 BC. The most readily available forms of Spirits or “hard liquors” as they are commonly known are Whisky, which originates from Ireland and Scotland; (Bourbon and Rye are the US versions of Whisky). Brandy, which derives from France, and Rum which is the national drink of the Caribbean.

Brandy
Brandy is a distilled spirit, which is produced through the distillation of wine and fruit ‘Eaux de vie, the name itself is derived from the Dutch work brandewijin, which means ‘burned wine. Brandy was discovered accidentally via the distillation of wine used as a method not only to preserve wine but also to make it easier for merchants to transport in the 16th Century. The water removed by distillation was intended to be added back to the wine before consumption; it was, however, discovered that the distillation had improved the taste of the wine significantly and so Brandy was discovered. After distillation, un-aged brandy is placed in oak barrels to mature; after a period of aging, which depends on the variety, classification, and legal requirements, mature brandy is mixed with distilled water to reduce the alcohol concentration before bottling. Brandy is considered a ‘digestif’ or after-dinner drink, which varies between 35% and 60% alcohol by volume. Its caramel-coloured spirit is generally achieved in higher quality brandies by aging in wooden casks, by adding caramel colouring (in lower quality brandies), or by a combination of both methods. Brandy is traditionally served, at room temperature in a tulip or a snifter glass.…
Vodka
Vodka is a spirit, which originated in Eastern Europe; the name stemming from the Russian word ‘voda’ meaning water or, as the Poles would say ‘woda’.

By regulation, Vodka must be at least 40% alcohol by volume and 80 proof. Vodka is traditionally drank neat, though it is often served chilled throughout the ‘Vodka Belt’ Countries such as Russia, Poland, Iceland, Sweden, Ukraine, Estonia and Lithuania. It is most commonly drank in other countries with fruit juices such as Cranberry Juice, Soft Drinks or as an essential ingredient in many cocktails such as the Cosmopolitan, The Screwdriver, The Bloody Mary or the Vodka Martini. Russia, Poland and Sweden are the three main traditional Vodka producing countries; however, France has recently carved out a name for itself with the introduction of Vodka made from fruit eaux-de-vie. Vodka is, however, also manufactured in the US and parts of Europe.
Creams

Rum
Rum is a distilled spirit made from sugarcane by-products, such as molasses, or directly from sugarcane juice, by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak barrels. Rum is referred to in Spanish by descriptors such as Ron Viejo (“old rum”) and Ron Añejo (“aged rum”). Once produced, Rums are graded – light rums are most often used in cocktails, whereas “golden” and “dark” rums are often consumed neat or with ice. Rum is often flavoured with fruits and spices, some of the most common types being spiced rum, honey Rum, coconut or pineapple Rum such as the Malibu brand and even Mango Rum. Wray and Nephew is the most famous brand of overproof (rum with an alcohol percentage higher than the standard 40%) white rum, which is often used in the cocktail named The Zombie owing to its inebriating effect on those who drink them.

There are two major types of vermouth, namely dry vermouth and sweet vermouth, the former originates from France while the latter originates from Italy.
Wines
Wine is an alcoholic beverage, which is produced by the fermentation of grapes and other fruits. Wine is not only cultivated to produce Wine of different colours such as Red Wine, White Wine and Rosé (even Green in Portugal’s Algarve) but also comes in a myriad of varieties which are created by blending different grapes with various yeast strains to develop new and innovative wine species. Wine production can be traced back to the Caucasus and the northern edge of the Middle East in 6000 BC. It was later spread westwards by the Phoenicians through to Lebanon and Israel. From there, wine production was exported to Egypt and the Mediterranean where it became a staple beverage. In the present day, wine production is broken down into two main categories: Old World and New World, each appealing to different palates. The foremost Old World producers of wine are Italy, Spain and France; with New World contenders hailing from South Africa, Chile, Australia, the United States and increasingly from Nigeria and England.

Sparkling Wines
Sparkling wine is a wine with significant levels of carbon dioxide in it making it fizzy. The carbon dioxide may result from natural fermentation, either in a bottle, as with the méthode champenoise, in a large tank designed to withstand the pressures involved (as in the Charmat process), or as a result of carbon dioxide injection. Champagne is the crème de la crème of Sparkling Wines and because of its prestige, many people assume that all sparkling wine is in fact Champagne. Although Sparkling Wine and Champagne are similar in nature, they are not, in fact, the same. Sparkling Wine is deemed as Champagne only if it comes from the wine-producing Champagne region of France, using only Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes. Other than Champagne, there are many other varieties of Sparkling Wine such as Italian Prosecco and Spanish Cava. Sparkling Wine is available in Brut, which is very dry, Demi-Sec, which is dry but a little fruitier than Brut and Doux which is a much sweeter beverage. Drinks.ng is proud to showcase our extensive selection of celebrated Champagnes and quality Sparkling wines in white and rosé. Whether you prefer a dryer variety or are more prone towards…

Red wine is a type of wine made from dark-colored (black) grape varieties. The actual color of the wine can range from intense violet, typical of young wines, through to brick red for mature wines and brown for older red wines. Much of the red-wine production process, therefore, involves the extraction of color and flavor components from the grape’s skin. Red wine from the Old and New World regions is very popular in Nigeria, there is, however, a tendency to rely on those characterized as safe, such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. Such varieties of red wine can however be produced in both New World and Old World wines, although the wines listed above originated from France; Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Chile are famous for producing quality red wines using these grapes. Red wines can be light and fruity such as Beaujolais or bold and spicy, such as Chiantis or Barolos. Also, red wines can be oak-aged,…
Rose Wine
Rose wines are wines that incorporate their color from the grape skins they are produced from. It is one of the oldest types of wine and it is very straightforward to produce, using the skin contact method. Rose wines are a blend of pleasure and seduction, slightly pink color with fine and persistent bubbles and abundant foam which express the richness and diversity of the finest terroirs in Champagne. Rosé can be made from any red grape and cultivated in any wine region. Usually, the wine is labeled rosé in French, Portuguese, and English-speaking countries, rosado in Spanish, or Rosato in Italian.
Cognac
Tequila
Tequila is a regional specific name for a distilled spirit made from the blue agave plant, primarily in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, 65 km northwest of Guadalajara, and in the highlands of the north western Mexican state of Jalisco. To be classified as Tequila, the spirit must contain at least 40% alcohol by volume. Tequila brands like Olmeca and Camino are a great base for cocktails, but can also be enjoyed straight. Blanco (unaged tequila) is harsher with the stronger flavours of the distilled agave plant. Reposado and añejo (aged tequila) are smoother, subtler, and more complex. Tequila is a type of Mescal, the distinction between the two is that tequila must use only blue agave plants rather than any type of agave. It is commonly served neat in Mexico and as a shot with salt and lime across the rest of the world. Tequila is also the main ingredient in the popular cocktail named the Tequila Sunrise. In recent years flavoured tequilas have arrived on the market, one of the most popular flavoured tequilas is the coffee flavoured Patron, which is a staple drink available at the shot bars in most upmarket nightclubs.

Sparkling Wines
Sparkling wine is a wine with significant levels of carbon dioxide in it making it fizzy. The carbon dioxide may result from natural fermentation, either in a bottle, as with the méthode champenoise, in a large tank designed to withstand the pressures involved (as in the Charmat process), or as a result of carbon dioxide injection. Champagne is the crème de la crème of Sparkling Wines and because of its prestige, many people assume that all sparkling wine is in fact Champagne. Although Sparkling Wine and Champagne are similar in nature, they are not, in fact, the same. Sparkling Wine is deemed as Champagne only if it comes from the wine-producing Champagne region of France, using only Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay grapes. Other than Champagne, there are many other varieties of Sparkling Wine such as Italian Prosecco and Spanish Cava. Sparkling Wine is available in Brut, which is very dry, Demi-Sec, which is dry but a little fruitier than Brut and Doux which is a much sweeter beverage.
