意大利美酒

The Wines of Italy
    The Roman poets liked to speak of Italy as "oenotria tell us," the land of wine; Oenotria, in fact, was the old Greek name for southeast Italy.
    There is a tendency to regard Italian wines as cheap and cheerful from Chianti in a wicker fiasco to sweet and frothy Lambrusco.
    If Italian wines have lagged far behind the French in terms of international repute, that is partly because Italy itself is such a recent creation. The regionalism of Italy is reflected in its wines.
    意大利美酒
    古羅馬時(shí)代的詩(shī)人喜歡稱意大利為"歐諾特利亞之地",即葡萄酒之鄉(xiāng);實(shí)際上,歐諾特利亞是古希臘語(yǔ)中的一個(gè)名詞,意指意大利東南部。
    人們往往認(rèn)為意大利葡萄酒價(jià)格便宜,并且容易使人興奮。從柳條長(zhǎng)頸大肚瓶裝契安第紅葡萄酒,到味甜多泡的摩德納葡萄酒。
    雖然在國(guó)際聲譽(yù)上意大利酒遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)落后于法國(guó)酒,但是,在一定程度上那是意大利這個(gè)國(guó)家本身也是一個(gè)新生產(chǎn)物。意大利的地方主義也反映在酒上。
