中西方酒文化浅析

内容摘要： 酒是人类生活中不可或缺的美味饮品。无论在中国还是在西方，酒伴随着人类的脚步一路前行，在漫长的发展历程中形成了一门特殊的文化——酒文化，它是一个国家或地区历史文化的重要组成部分。本文通过中西酒文化研究对比，从中找出二者的共同点及其差别，为中西方文化差异特别是价值观方面的差异提供一些参考。

一、起源的美丽传说

尽管相隔遥远，在远古时代又彼此隔绝，但关于酒的起源，在中国和西方都有着许多美丽的传说。

（一）中国有关酒起源的传说

在众多关于酒的起源传说中，影响最大主要有以下几种：上天造酒说、猿猴造酒说、仪狄造酒说、杜康造酒说。关于酒起源在我国众多古籍中也不乏记载，《战国策》中说：“昔者，帝女令仪狄作酒而美，进之禹，禹钦而甘之，遂疏仪狄，绝旨酒，日：‘后世必有以酒亡其国者。”晋朝江统在《酒诰》中言：“有饭不尽，委之空桑，郁结成味，久蓄气芳，本出于代，不由奇方。”

（二）西方有关酒起源的传说

在西方，没有太多关于酒起源的古籍记载。其中最著名的是希腊神话中关于葡萄酒起源传说。相传塞墨勒与宙斯相爱、怀孕却被害致死，宙斯便把胎儿放入自己的大腿中养育，孩子出生后取名为狄俄倪索斯。狄俄倪索斯历尽磨难长大成人。多年后，好友在战斗中死亡，后来在友人的墓上长出一株结满果实的葡萄树。他采下果实榨成汁，喝来甘甜爽口，这就是最初的葡萄酒。他把这玉液琼浆献给奥林匹斯诸神，同时也赐给了希腊人民。于是，许多西方国家便有了葡萄酒的酿造技术。

性劳动基本上起着主导作用。经过漫长的探索、凝练，中国的酿酒技艺堪称一流、各种名酒各得其妙。总体来说，中国酿酒大都有浸渍、蒸煮、多次投料、固态及半固态发酵等工艺环节和方法，这也正是中国粮食酒酿造技艺的突出特点。

（二）西方酒种类和酿酒工艺简介

由于西方许多地方不适宜农作物的生长，却十分有利于葡萄的生长，因而葡萄的产量大、品质优，因此在西方最具特色的酒是葡萄酒和白兰地，用的几乎是百分之百的葡萄；另外开胃酒、利口酒、鸡尾酒等大多也以葡萄酒为酒基进行制作。西方葡萄酒的代表有法国的沙都拉菲、法国的精选波尔多、意大利的草编驰骋安稠、西班牙的公牛血等。

在酒的酿造工艺上，西方主要以葡萄为原料，讲究以料为核心，桶和窖为保障，采用液态、单式发酵方法。在葡萄酒的酿造过程中，葡萄起主导作用，葡萄的品种和质量决定着葡萄酒的品质、特色和香型，人的劳动则起辅助作用。葡萄酒的酿造大多是葡萄去梗破皮、压榨、发酵、培养、装瓶等工艺环节，而橡木桶、酒窖是其中的两个关键。橡木桶是发酵和培养葡萄酒的最经典容器。其木材多孔，外界的氧气缓缓渗入，包括酒精在内的挥发物质部分蒸发，使酒变得更加细腻、芳香；橡木释放出的辛香和单宁酸，给葡萄酒增添华美复合的润饰，使酒质不断成熟、稳定。酒窖是葡萄酒最好的栖身之所，决定着葡萄酒的最终品质。任何好酒都需要经过较长时间的藏酿，葡萄酒在橡木桶中的陈化不是全部过程，要达到最佳饮用状态，更需要继续贮存、陈化。

四、所用酒器不同

中国人历来就十分重视酒器的使用，就其用途而言，可分为贮酒器、盛酒器、卖酒器和饮酒器四大类。中国的酒器从远古时代的兽角、葫芦等逐步演变为陶制酒器、青铜制酒器、漆制酒器、玉制酒器以及后来的金银酒器、玻璃酒器和不锈钢酒器等等。每一种酒器都有其不同的类型，比如青铜制酒器中就有尊、壶、皿、鉴、瓿等。有些酒器会做成特定的动物形状，如羊、牛、兔等；有些酒器上绘有人物、山水等图案，其种类繁多，造型各异。当然，这些形状各异、色彩缤纷的

满传空”六礼，指要把杯中酒喝干，并亮底给同座检查。明代冯时化的《酒史》，记述了苏州宴客“杯中余沥，有一滴，则罚一杯”。如实在酒量不济，要婉言声明，并稍饮表示敬意。

2、酒德

酒德，指饮酒的道德规范和酒后应有的风度。合度者有德，失态者无德，恶趣者更无德。酒德二字，最早见于《尚书》和《诗经》，其含义是说饮酒者要有德行，不能“颠覆厥德，荒湛于酒”。儒家并不反对饮酒，但反对狂饮烂醉。

中国酒德的主要内容包括三个方面：

一是要量力而饮。即饮酒不在多少，贵在适量。《饮膳正要》指出：“少饮为佳，多饮伤神损寿，易人本性，其毒甚也。醉饮过度，丧生之源。”

二是要节制有度。即饮酒要注意自我克制，做到饮酒而不乱。《三国志》裴松之注引《管辂别传》说到管辂自励励人：“酒不可极，才不可尽。吾欲持酒以礼，持才以愚，何患之有也?”就是力戒贪杯与逞能。

三是饮酒不能强劝。酒林中一些近乎疯狂的欢饮者，常常是把沉溺当豪爽，把邪恶当有趣。其实，人的酒量各异，强人饮酒不仅败坏了饮酒的乐趣，而且有损身体健康。因此，在群饮过程中既要热闹，又要理智，不能强人所难，执意劝饮。

（二）西方的酒吧文化

酒吧，是西方人饮酒的主要且特定的场所，在英文中写作“BAR”，原意是指木栅栏。在欧洲，早期的酒吧只是出售酒品的柜台，后来，随着酿酒业的发展，酒吧从饭店和餐馆中分离出来，成为专门出售酒水和供客人饮酒、交友、聚会、娱乐的地方。

在西方国家，酒吧的数量和种类都非常多，其分类方法也不尽相同，根据酒吧形式进行分类，可以分为主酒吧、酒廊、服务酒吧、多功能酒吧等。

1、主酒吧

主酒吧大多数装饰美观、典雅、别致，设备完善，并备有足够可靠柜吧凳、大多数中国人把酒当做是一种特殊的物质，对酒本身的关注度并不那么高，人们更多的是依靠饮酒而追求酒之外的东西。在欢乐时酒可助兴，在忧愁时酒可浇愁；可邀三五好友在酒馆里豪饮，也可在家中独自小酌；可用大碗显豪饮，也可用小盅慢品。如此种种，都说明了在中国人的主观感情思维中，酒文化体现了其“以人为本”的特征。大部分中国人很少对酒种类、酿造和品鉴方法感兴趣，而会津津乐道于各种饮酒趣事。

在西方人看来，酒是一种特殊的艺术品，拥有魅力和生命。面对这个的神圣艺术品，西方人用心去欣赏和玩味。西方人喝酒时讲究规矩和套路，他们通常会去酒吧喝酒，而酒吧有特定的布局，酒吧侍者也有一套特定的规范化的服务操作程序。西方人注重酒的本身品质，对饮酒器具十分的讲究，他们把酒看成是艺术品，认为都要有适合自己的杯子，只有相互间完美地配搭，才能充分的享受饮酒的乐趣。这些充分说明了西方人的科学、理性的思维方式，体现了“以物为本”的特征。如果让他们选择的话，大部分人可能会滔滔不绝地讲述酒的种类、酿造和品鉴方法。

酒是一种客观存在的物质，更是一种文化。酒文化作为一种特殊的文化形式，中西方对其有着不同的解读。中西方饮酒之道的差异也折射出其背后不同的文化和思维模式。在信息化和全球化的今天，中西方文化在交流中也在不断地相互融合渗透。分析和比较中西方酒文化的差异有助于我们更加深入的了解酒文化背后所隐藏的中西文化差异，更好的为我们进行跨文化交际、交流服务，更好的为世界人民融洽交流服务。

1.The Background of Wine Culture 1.1 Wine Culture in China

China is one of the ancient countries in the world and has a long history about

the wine culture.“Since the appearing of wine and formed the methods of brewing wine, then the processes of brewing, the making of all kinds of drinking sets and drinking customs and etiquette were gradually formed and completed.”(Lixiaoye, 2010, P7)This is just the definition of wine culture.It is well known that Confucianism is the core of Chinese culture, so people's understanding of the wine culture tends to the spiritual dimension and gives it a variety of emotions.In 1987, the renowned economist professor Yu Guangyuan put forward the phrase “wine culture” in China and Wan xiaoyan(2009)explains that the wine culture has broad and narrow meaning.In the broad sense, wine culture including wine technology with thousands of years’ enhancement, technological level, legal system and drinking customs;in the narrow sense, wine culture is just referred to drinking etiquette, custom and anecdote.There are many experts devote themselves to the research of wine culture, but it’s difficult to give a clear definition.Wine culture represents different characteristics in different times and has different effects on society.Throughout the Chinese wine culture’s history, we know that wine culture studies the material, brewing techniques of wine and its social attitude.Xu Shaohua(1999)said that wine means drinking in social activities has a specific effect on politics, economic, culture, military affairs, religion, art, science and technology, social psychology, and folk customs.Wine culture is the combination of material culture and spiritual culture.It's a special and attractive culture.Next, take the Origin of Wine in China for example.Yi Di and Du Kang are considered the originators of wine-making in China.According to ancient annals Yi Di was ordered by Yu the Great to produce mellow wine fro me fermented glutinous rice.The concoction tasted good and Yi Di was confident he would receive a reward.Yu while agreeing that the drink was of excellent quality and had a good taste stopped short of rewarding its maker.Why? Because the Son of Heaven decided that over indulgence in this new beverage could be dangerous-it could make a person read-the monarch himself lose his wits and inadvertently put the country at risk.Another wine-maker Du Kang created a formula for high quality liquor made of sorghum..As legend has it one winter he put cultivated sorghum seeds in a hollow.The following spring he notice d a strong smell coming from it and was amazed to discover that the sorghum he left there had fermented.This accidental disconery inspired Du Kang to create an alcoholic beverage.1.2 Wine Culture in the West In the west, wine culture is also a richly historical culture.In most time, wine culture refers to grape wine in west countries.“It has a history more than 8000 or at most 10000 years since wine appeared, and much longer than the liquor history in China.”(Li xiaoye, 2010, P8)To western people, wine is a special kind of art and has its glamour.When we meet troubles in our daily life or feel sad, wine can help us become strong and comfort us.So there is no doubt that wine culture is not only a kind of material culture but also a kind of a spiritual culture.Owing to the different cultural backgrounds, the western people’s understanding of the wine culture tends to the symbol of the right and gives it elegant and luxury image.For example, they believe wine can enrich their life and regulate their feelings.Xu Yan(2004)said this view of life can be expressed as drink one’s sorrows/ troubles, drown one’s troubles away, drink down sorrow.Wine culture is the reflection of culture in history and it’s the witness of history.Next, take the Origin of Wine in the West for example.Greek mythology Dionysus Greek god of wine and fertility identified with the Roman god Bacchus.The son of Zeus and Semele Dionysus was reared by nymphs and taught men the secrets of cultivating grapes and making wine.but Hera struck him with madness and drove him forth a wanderer through various parts of the earth.Dionysus wandered through many lands teaching men the culture of the vine and the mysteries of his cult.The Bible The earliest written account of viniculture is in the Old Testament of the Bible which tells us that Noah planted a vineyard and made wine.Middle Eastern origin an ancient Persian fable credits a lady of the court with the

discovery of wine.This Princess having lost favor with the King attempted to poison herself by eating some table grapes that had spoiled in a jar.She became intoxicated and giddy and fell asleep.When she awoke she found the stresses that had made her life intolerable had dispersed.Returning to the source of her relief her subsequent conduct changed so remarkably that she regained the Kings favor.2.The application of the wine culture 2.1 Types of Wine Baijiu is a typical Chinese wine, while grape wine plays an important role in Western countries.China is a country with a long history and it is no exaggeration to say that Chinese history with five thousand years is written by wine.As China is a large agricultural country, the most wine is brewed with grain.In China, the word is “jiu” can be used to represent all the types of alcoholic beverages, such as beer, grape wine and so on.The most popular wine in China can be classified into two types, namely, yellow wine and white wine.The yellow wine is brewed directly from rice and wheat.The white wine is also brewed grain, but it has a higher purity of the alcohol level.Although China has a lot of techniques to brew wine and there are various types of wine, the grain liquor is always in the important position;this is because of the effect of geographical environment and agricultural culture.China's climate is very good for the growth of rice and other grain, as a result, the grain liquor is very prevalent.In the Western countries, no matter when we talk about the western wine, grape wine is always the first one comes to our minds.Grape wine is the major wine and

plays an important role in people’s life.Grape wine has a long history, Qu Xiaohui(1996)said that the Western archaeologists found that people had drank grape wine seven thousand years ago.Western is different from China as a large agricultural country, so most of Western countries develop animal husbandry and business.But the climatic and soil in many places don’t fit the growth of crops, they are suitable for grape.Grape wine was produced and became more and more popular under this circumstance.With the development of society, there are more types of grape wine, such as whisky, brandy, rum, cocktail and so forth.2.2 Drinking Vessels Where there is wine, there is drinking vessel.As the saying goes, if there is no drinking vessel, there is no way to drink.So there is no doubt that drinking vessel as a part of wine culture has a long history.The development of drinking vessel is closely bound up with the national economics;it can reflect a country’s level of development.China always shows great respect for the use of drinking vessels.People divided the drinking vessels into different categories depending on their usage.In ancient times, due to the low level of social development, people use some natural materials to make drinking vessels, such as horns and gourds.With the improvement of productivity and development of the wine industry, there are more types of wine vessels, for example, the drinking vessels are made of bronze or jade or other materials.What’s more, some drinking vessels are made in different shapes, for instance sheep, tiger, cow, rabbit and other animals or landscape.Different shapes of drinking vessels not only can help people enjoy the beauty of wine, but also reflects the unique charm of Chinese art.Compared with China's drinking vessels, West’s has a distinctive flavor.Westerners pay attention to different glasses for different kinds of wine.When they drink whisky, brandy and grape wine, they will prepare the corresponding cups.It is

well known that most western drinking vessels are made of glass and crystal, because these cups are good for drinkers to appreciate the wine's color and enjoy the beauty of wine.This is indeed the case;the western drinking vessels have an elegant appearance as well as the good usage.Nowadays, the glasses become more popular and are carriers to spread the wine culture.2.3 Etiquette of Drinking Wine is a medium to understand the culture of different countries.Knowing the etiquette of drinking can reduce the misunderstandings in social activities and promote communications between peoples.After careful studies, we can find that there are some differences of etiquette of drinking between China and Western countries.China is a country known as ceremony and pay attention to etiquette.Talk freely about the saying “No Custom without Wine”, etiquette of drinking is becoming an important part of life.Chinese drinking etiquette reflects the respect for the drinker.There is fixed seating and a fixed toast times about who is the master, who is the guest.Toast normally chooses after eating the main course, and before the sugar beet is not on.The cup must be held on the eyes level when the toast happen.The toast must begin from the master and watch each other, and at least drink a little wine to show respect.Others are not qualified to respect until the master finished.If the toast order is upset the person who upset the toast order will be fined.Toast must be started from the most distinguished guests, at this time the wine should be full of so that the most distinguished guests can be respected.Not only younger people toast to the elders, and subordinates take the initiative to propose a toast to the higher levels, but also should drink first in order to show respect.The Jiuling, Finger Guessing Game etiquette of wine, but also to make drinkers thoroughly enjoyed themselves.Obviously, Chinese wine culture deeply influenced by Chinese culture and traditional

ethics of hierarchy of seniority, during drinking alcohol the respect for those who drinking was placed in the most important position.Western drinking wine etiquette demonstrates respect for wine.Drinking wine must watch their color, smell their fragrance, taste its quality, and mobilize all kind of sensory to enjoy nice wine.In the sequence of drinking, pay attention to the first drink after drink red wine, white wine, the first lighter wine In the sequence of drinking, it is necessary to pay attention to the order of drinking.White wine should be first and after red wine, the first lighter wine following Re-bodied wine to drink a short year wine and then drink a long year wine, changes gradually in-depth change in the enjoyment of wine flavor.The selection of wine device, also revolve around how to get the full enjoyment of drinking on the drinkers.Let aroma convergence on mouth of the tulip-type goblet cup, and even for wine temperature degree specially designed thermometer, without exception, demonstrate respect for Westerners wine, and their Drinking etiquette is for a better appreciation of wine.In the West people rarely Toast each other, they usually drink separately.Only in certain occasions, they will join in a toast.If a time like this is usually the person after the speech, they are blessing a person, or to celebrate something for someone.2.4 Purpose of Drinking

Wine exists with the form of water and with the content of fire.They are incompatible since ancient times, only an exception on wine.It is water also fire.Not only was extinguished by the minds of unhappy, but also can bright the inner.Both Chinese and westerners love wine, but the diversity of cultures, so caused the difference on drinking purposes between the Chinese people and Westerns.The purpose of drinking in western is simple.They have a drink in order to enjoy drinking.Of course, wine also has the function of communication, but it is more important for people to enjoy the taste of wine.What kind of drink should be used to

enjoy on a occasion , and what temperature degree should be , what shape of the glass should be, there is a very fine clear requirement.There is not hing Finger Guessing Game was provided on the banquet.The aesthetic of western is a direct form Style-oriented and do not require to use distiller's yeast to achieve communicative effects, showing that the West is drinking for wine.In China, wine is often used as a communicative tool.Therefore, there are not scientific systematic theoretical analysis on Chinese wine culture.More attention was paied on other function s brought by drinking.The so-called ulterior motives are not on wine , but care between landscape and landscape of the music.People who drink often want to discuss official business, or talk to a private matter.In short, drinking is just an expression of a mood-assisted behavior.People have a drink just want to borrow the role of alcohol to complete a number of other things, so Chinese people will never be less wine on the table.Whether it is Chinese New Year, or a business in the future, wine is the middle of the hub of everything.It also links to the subtle emotions between people, but people rely more on drinking is the pursuit of wine.Qingmeizhujiu is to prove who is the hero.The paradis Jiang Jinjiu purpose to eliminate the same melancholy;Bamboo Poets of the Seven Sages was to take sanctuary.Qianlong 1000 gentleman feast want to share happy with the public.Chinese people drinking is not for alcohol but for feelings.Therefore, so long as having appropriate reasons, everyone can advise each other to drink, in order to show goodwill and sincerity.Toast is a typical performance of Chinese hospitality, but often is not understood by Westerners on the Chinese people.China is the ceremonies.The communication is usually advocated implicitly.They are not bounded, not only can speak, also can criticize after drinking alhtough there is nothing to speak usually.Wine can help Chinese people to achieve communicative purposes.2.5 Drinking Habits Several major Chinese festival of the year have a corresponding drinking activities, such as the Dragon Boat Festival drink “calamus wine”.Suspended drink “chrysanthemum wine”.In some places, such as Jiangxi, people gathered to drink after planting the cereal crop or to celebrate the harvest time.Chinese New Year also is known as New Year's Eve.It is the day for family reunion to have the most sumptuous dinner of the year.Dinner and wine are essential to the even poorest family.In some places, people generally do not leave the house on the first day of the first lunar month.From the second day, people begin to drop around.The owner of the house takes the dishes which have been prepared earlier to the table and enjoy the wine with the guests.“liquor of daughter in the south“ According to the earliest record by the ”Southern Grasses“ that the southern people began to make wine when their daughter was seven years old.Then they bury the brewed wine when their daughter got married.This kind of wine was inherited in Shaoxing and developed to be famous as ”Huadiao jiu“.Another difference exists in the custom of drinking wine.As is known to us, China is a big country with 56 nationalities and vast territory.Most of the nations have its own distinctive wine and custom of drinking wine.However, there still exists the common character: encouraging people to drink.While in western countries, no one will encourage you to drink.It is up to you to drink or not.No one would associate toasting people with the face.If there exists buying wine culture, that is, today I buy the wine for you in a bar;tomorrow you will buy for me.Wine culture brings about the difference of ideology of flows.Wine culture that caused great affection on the east and west civilization is embodied in the feminism.In the west, fete is an important means of worship of wine.The housewives and girls gathered in wild mountains to dance and enjoy themselves the whole night.Women could communicate with any people.Although the man was discontented with this, he could not have any complaints.This tradition was handed down.As a result, women got almost the same status with the man in the west.The worship of wine came along with the mysterious worship of maternity, which rippled in the civilization of the west.It was not the case in China.Although at the beginning, the wine was brewed for the daughter of Yu, women were deprived of right of drinking wine by man.The girls

in The Dream of Red Mansion mostly drank fruit wine.The liquor, repetitive of wine, was the patent of men, such as Jia Zheng.The status of women was gradually promoted after the spread of western culture during the period of Fourth Five.Women have the same right of drinking wine in modern times.3.Different Communicative Functions and Drinking Culture 3.1 Shallow Sip and Cattle Drink

Chinese people pay attention to the “shallow sip”.The so called“shallow sip”is to put the glass in one hand and enjoy the fun by singing a song or poem to purse the realm into a little drunk.The so called little drunk is like non-drunk and non-awake, with a rather wonderful feeling to get high in the realm.We Chinese people will take a little drunk while talking with our friends or family and have a good time.The Westerners pay attention to “cattle drink”, the so called “cattle drink” also described as the “drink by”.That is, no matter one battle or one glass, just raise your neck to drink it overturned.They enjoy the excitement that the wine brings to them.3.2 Masculinity and Feminism

Chinese wine culture is the doctrine of partial male.Since ancient times, “wine” was always used by men as the signboard and mask of their entertainment.By the “wine” of power, things will line.Things can be done easier by the power of wine.CaoCao used wine to test whether troops under his command were loyal to him.Wine and beauty seem always to go together;both are men’s tool to release their pressure.Actually, with the collapse of the feudalism, women were no longer regarded as men’s vassal.Nevertheless, in most case, women are often still at arm’s length speak of love.The western wine culture joined more feminist factors and is relatively neutral.In western countries, there is not only spirits for men but also cocktails and champagne with a sweet or fruity taste and beautiful color for women to drink.Female drinking is socially accepted, and fends to be neutral on the whole.3.3

Lyricism and Enjoyment

China, the scenic spot of wine culture, the significance of drinking wine is far more than the sensual pleasure.In many occasions, wine is used as a cultural symbol to represent a ritual, a state of mind.Wine and poetry, had the tight relationship from then on.In China, The wine is often used as a communication tool, a medium to express feelings after drinking.The so called the drinker’s heart is not in the cup but in people and in love.Such as to make the plum wine is in order to prove who is the real hero;to drink one more cup of wine is to bid farewell to the friend going away.Different feeling and different mood are passed through the wine.In the western countries, the purpose of drink is often very simple, to enjoy the wine and alcohol.Of course, the red wine in the west also has the function of communication, but it is more of a pursuit of how to enjoy the taste.It can be seen that the Western wine culture focus more on the wine itself while we Chinese people seem to pay more attention to the spiritual experience after evaporation or distillation of the wine.Western habit of tasting wine is to taste with their tongue, while we Chinese people use more of a heart and brain to feel the feeling the wine bring us.The Way to Promote the Intercommunication of Wine Culture 4.1.Launching International Communication Conference

The development of world wine culture depends on the intercommunication of different nations.On this matter, I give several suggestions as following: Firstly, we should launch international communication conference about research of wine culture.At present, the research communication between professors and experts in especially French, Germany, and England and so on is little.Professors and experts exchange their ideas and views about wine and put forward new suggestions.It is an important and direct way to push the development

of wine culture.Secondly, a worldwide organization should be set up to harmonize and guide the deed acted by nations.Regions and nations behave according to the rules regulated.4.2.Setting the Suitable Rules

As we know, a proverb says without rules we cannot do things well.Thus it is necessary and important to set the suitable rules.Nations can communicate and behave well with the restrictions.However, the rules are not set now, which needs the efforts of the professors and experts.4.3 Innovation

Wine culture can not develop without innovation which is the gist of wine culture.China has a long history of brewing wine, which is proud by us.Meanwhile, we indulge ourselves in the success we have had and depend on the traditional wine culture excessively.Therefore, crisis is there.In order to keep the booming vitality of wine, obviously, the innovation is crucial.But what we should do innovate the wine culture.In my point of view, we should do as the following: To begin with, the combination of innovation of wine and idea.The consumption psychology of people is always changing.There is an increasing demand about the safety and sanitation of wine.The idea of green consumption occurs to people.As a result, we not only cater to the demand of trend, but also put our feet in the consumer's shoes.Secondly, the combination of innovation and technology.The innovation of culture can not;eave the development of technology.The big innovation and development of many professions is caused by the innovation of technology.The innovation of technology and technique push the development of the profession of brewing wine vigorously and base the solid foundation of the innovation of wine culture.Thirdly, the combination of innovation of wine culture and the management of firm.The history of abroad or domestic management of firm can be subdivided into three stages: ”experimental management“ ”scientific management“ and ”cultural management".It realized the big leap on management from experimental one to Tylor's scientific one.However, scientific management neglects the creativity and ability of man, which can not fit the demand of development.Thus, cultural management came into being.That whether the wine culture is a success or a failure is associated with the leader of the enterprise.The runner of the wine firm is different from the leader of the firm of making screwdriver.He should be an artist with high quality of culture and artistic taste.The fierce competition demands that they give direction and decision on the design of products, the direction of market, the selling

and plan of market.It is also necessary for them to carry out the cultural management and innovation of management and make full use of resources including resource of mankind to infuse the color of culture in the product.Make sure the realization of innovation of wine culture successfully through innovation of management.This is one aspect and another aspect is that: In the first place, transfer the advantage of culture into the advantage of market.Transmitting culture is to exploit the market.The core of the wine market is health;safety and fashion which the enterprises need long time of penetration of culture and patient and dedicate cultivation of market.It advocates drinking wine in a scientific way and green consumption to guide man return to rationalism from the traditional wine culture, which advocates drinking wine in great amount.In the second place, transfer the advantage of market into the advantage of economic, society and zoology.The advantage of economic is the final embodiment of the advantage of market.Promoting the additional value of wine culture is a significant way to transfer the advantage of market into the advantage of economic.At the same time, it requires shat the effectiveness of society and zoology should be taken into account.We should strengthen the idea of sustaining development of firm and carry out green management and controlling of whole process and protect the mature during the process of carrying out the innovation of wine culture.Therefore, the vitality of wine lies in wine culture and fitting the progressive consumption culture, which is to keep pace with time.Conclusion The wine is the best present that God has given.Wine culture comes along with the birth of wine since wine appeared.Due to the difference of wine, regions and environment, the faith brought by wine culture also has more or less difference.At first, the wine in China was the sweet wine made from fruits.After that, man gradually found the grain which was used as the raw material of liquor.It was much better than sweet wine either in power or taste.Therefore, it is the mainstream to brew wine with grain as the raw material.At present, it refers to liquor when it comes to the wine of China.However, the wine in the west was brewed with barley the raw material firstly.Man began to brew wine with grape.The wine made man intoxicated and gradually became the mainstream of the west.And now, it refers to champagne and Brandy wit grape as the raw material.Drinking wine in China is the common phenomenon of different nations.Most of nations have its own characteristic wine

and custom of drinking wine.The culture of drinking wine has endurable vitality and character.The research of drinking custom will promote the unity of nations and progress of civilization.In order to communicate with the consumer, it is necessary to promote the development of wine culture.The wine can popularize wildly and sell best according to the taste of consumer.The brewed wine is to be consumed by man.Consequently, people's suggestion about the way of brewing wine is vital, which is to make sure the wine is consumed with confirmation and agreement of consumer.Intercommunication is also crucial to the development of wine culture.Thus, increasing international communication is essential.Professors and experts can exchange their views and put forward new ideas about innovation of technology.A worldwide organization restrains the behavior of the members.Through this topic, the profound Chinese culture during the course of investigations will be appreciated.Consequently the Chinese wine culture will develop along with the development of the world wine culture.Bibliography [1] Patrick McGovern.Ancient wine: the search for the origin of viniculture.Princeton University, 2000.[2] Haeger.North American Pinot Noir.Langman, 2004.[3] Patrick Matthews.Real wine: the rediscovery of natural winemaking.Mitchell Beazley, 2000.[4] Jeni Port.Crushed by women:women and win., Arcadia, 2000.[5] Jancis Robinson.Jancis Robinson's wine tasting workbook.Conran Octopus, 2000.[6]Dai Weidong.A New Concise Course in Lingustics for Students of Englishin [M].ShangHai Foreign Language Education Press, 2010:125-126 [7]Jamie Goode.The science of wine: from vine to glass[M].University of California Press, 2005 [8]John Winthrop Haeger.North American Pinot Noir[M].Niversity of California Press, 2004

Abstract

This paper gives a whole introduction about the differences between China and the west in wine culture.From the comparison of wine culture in the West, we can find that the difference between the culture of wine is actually a way of thinking in the West differences.Whether China is the booze or the West tasting, wine culture can all hope that the next time a relatively more and better wine, wine culture can be developed and inheritance, so that more people understand the culture of wine, Enjoy the wine culture!I am the principal of Liquor comparison of Chinese and Western culture, and focus on understanding the culture of wine in China history of the development.Key words: wine culture;differences;China;the west

1.The history of wine culture

It is well-known to us that China's wine culture has 5000 years of history, has a long history of wine in our wine culture, the development of long-term process, making many as the “Shen Pin” 'Qiongjiang “wine treasures.China is ahead of the world's ancient civilizations, is the home of wine.China five thousand years of history, wine and liquor culture always occupies an important place.Wine is a special kind of food that belong to the material, but also with people's spiritual life.As a special kind of cultural forms , wine culture has a unique position in traditional Chinese cultural.I think in a different cultural background and different walks of life, different people, and even different frame of mind which was to understand the extent of different ways.For Chinese and Western culture, a different understanding of wine, the key is to make the best wine culture development, better for our services, which require the integration of Chinese and Western cultures of wine.Today, the West's wine culture to a large extent, the impact of China's wine culture, particularly in the tasting the mood in the West tend to be more, can hope to make more Westerners to understand China's fine tradition of wine culture.Talking about China's fine tradition of wine culture, wine and poetry had mentioned the close relationship between the poetry of wine is given a new interpretation of the source of origin so that the culture of wine in a long, and is deeply rooted.From ancient times people do not know the number of Jie Jiu literati ink to write a good poem passed down until today, to express his or hi or bad feelings, a lot of people describe the beauty away.Now I would like to say something about China-made wine, it is very famous in the world.China-made wine dates back to ancient times, variety, meta, the renowned wines.Rice wine is the world's oldest wine, about three thousand years ago, the era of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Chinese original, Koji penthouse fermentation began a large number of wine.About a thousand years ago, the Chinese Song dynasty who invented the Distiller, liquor law, became the main Chinese people to drink alcohol.Wine penetration to the entire China five thousand years of civilization, history, literary and artistic creation and cultural entertainment to diet cooking, health care, and other aspects of Chinese life in occupies an important position.As far as my knowledge is concerned, wine is one of the oldest food, it is almost history and the history of human culture began.Since the wine appear, as a matter of culture, wine, its history and economic history of synchronization, but wine is not only a kind of food, it also has a spiritual and cultural value.As a spiritual culture it is reflected in the social and political life, literary arts and even people's attitude towards life, aesthetics, and many other aspects.In this sense, the drink is not just drinking and drinking, it has also been drinking culture.The differences between China and the west in wine culture

2.1 The differences in the kinds of wine

China's wine culture springs from a long, though undoubtedly the longest history of wine, but the most representative of the Chinese wine than white wine, and in some ways can be said that China's wine culture, wine is wine culture.Because of the many wine types in China, she has a long history, mature technology, so far remains the world's largest production of distilled liquor.Chinese civilization in the Yellow River basin, where the fertile soil, mild climate, long a major agricultural country, China as early as ten thousand years ago, with the West Asia, Central America became the world's first three agricultural centers.China's grain output large grains and cereals, varieties, food consumption in the function to meet people, as well as surplus, which laid the foundation for food wine.Known as the cradle of Western civilization has been located in the Balkans, Greece, surrounded by the sea, mountains and islands throughout the territory, the soil is relatively poor, is a typical Mediterranean climate.It is not conducive to the growth of food crops, cereal crops, low yields, only to meet the food, it is difficult to have a surplus wine.The grapes prefer gravel soil, with its drought tolerance and adaptability to the Mediterranean climate and widely cultivated in Greece, wine to meet the needs of Westerners on alcohol.2.2 The differences in wine glasses

Ancient Chinese bronze ware drinking vezits beautiful and decorative images.And the most ancient wine is completed, the most typical is Shang bronze.Bronze vessels in heated debates, decanter, drinking, wine storage, ritual.Just like the tea now.Later, lacquer ware, porcelain, the above pattern is also very attractive.There are some very unusual drinking vessels, such as: ye guangbei, backflow pot, Mandarin Duck fragrant pot, pot, Kowloon fair of blasphemy against the Grand jade sea etc.But now, most households use of wine are Westen wine.In order to observe the grade level of the wine, Western wine are glass, transparent.Western wine lightweight convenience, are to be accepted by most of the Chinese family.Westerners to drink wine application what wine.So they have wine glasses, wine glasses, wine glass for red wine, brandy, etc.In the wine glass in two-party differences larger.While Western wine now represent a clear advantage.China's traditional drinking vessels in general are now very rare in the family.2.3 The differences between drinking etiquette China's ceremonial drinking of alcohol reflects the respect for human beings.Masters of the guests have a fixed seat, have a fixed order of toast.When a toast from the beginning of the master King, owner of disrespect End, is not eligible for other people's respect, if the order of the chaos to deserve to be punished.And a toast from some of the most distinguished guests began to King, a toast to wine full time, that the toast was also a respect for human beings.The younger generation of elders, the lower a toast to the higher authorities to take the initiative to propose a toast, but also pay attention to the first King to do.The Xing Jiuling, Hua Quan, such as drinking etiquette, but also to allow people to drink more alcohol and enjoy the came into being.It is clear that the Chinese wine culture by young and old hierarchy of traditional Chinese culture, ethics, in the course of drinking alcohol on the respect for human beings on the most important position.The rituals of wine drinking in the West, reflect the respect for alcohol.Kam goods to wine and watch their color, smell their fragrance, flavor of their products, to mobilize all kinds of sensory enjoyment of wine.Goods in order to drink, pay attention to drink white wine after drinking red wine, the first products of light and then liquor products of the rich wine, to drink young wine to drink in the long years of wine, in accordance with the laws of taste changes gradually and in-depth Enjoy the taste of wine.The wine's choice, but also around how to fight the full enjoyment of those who drink wine to the requirements of choice.Aroma Cup together so that the tulip-mouth goblet, so full of wine-Shu start of the wine decanter, as well as to master the temperature of wine and drink products specially designed for the thermometer, all in the West reflect on the respect for alcohol, and their Ceremonial drinking, drinking culture is better to appreciate the delicious have been made.2.4 The difference between drinking purposes

In China, wine is often used as a tool, the so-called ulterior motives.Qing meizhuiu as to demonstrate who is a hero;Cup Mo Jiang Jin jiu stop in order to eliminate forever the same and Seoul worry;bamboo Poets of the Seven Sages, in order to Jiejiu asylum.Wine in the eyes of the Chinese people more as a communication tool in China's wine culture of wine for their own lack of scientific and systematic analysis and evaluation, but also about drinking after he brought a wonderful role.In the West, often drinking purpose is very simple, in order to enjoy the wine and alcohol, in order to enjoy the wine and alcohol.Of course, wine in the West also has the function of communication, but it's more pursuing is how much of the flavor of wine to enjoy.3．Some problems that we should pay attention to on the westen drinking 3.1 The way of holding wine glasses Many Westerners agree with such a view that we can determine whether a man knows wine, whether it is a quality person from the way he holding wine glasses.Here the following is a summary of several etiquette when drinking and I think its very important.In the westen restaurant, in order to let the guests indentify the quality of the wine , the waiter usually pour a little wine to the guests.What you have to do is take a sip and if you think there is no problem you should say good to the waiter and then the waiter will pour wine in order to help you, then you should put the wine glass down on the table instead of get hands on the wine glasses.In the Western liturgy, the correct way is to pour half of filling the cup(champagne can be filled two-thirds of the wine glass), please do not fill the wine cup as we Chinese do.When drinking brandy, please use your whole hand to wrap the bottom of the cup in order to keep the temperature of the wine and increase the aroma of wine.When drinking wine you should hold the feet of the wine glass with your fingers because the wine should be drink in a lower temperature.So as to avoid your hand increase the temperature of the wine temperature, your should let your thumb and middle finger and index finger holding the feet of the cup and keep your little finger on the bottom of the cup.When you are drinking a little jiggle have contact with air to add the wine tastes mellow of fierce, but don't shake the cup.in addition, a gulp, and drink the wine glass to see through glass, and took the words and drinking and eating, drinking and the lipstick mark in the cup edge is considered improper behavior.When you are holding the cup please ensure that your elbows keep distance with the table.That is very important.3.2 Some drinking tips The most suitable temperature for drinking wine is 16 ~ 18 ℃, and the best temperature for drinking white wine is 8 ~ 12 ℃.White wine can be drink with ice, do not add anything when drink red wine.But when someone is drinking red wine, they usually like to add other drinks as color and so on, this is a very rude way I think.If your wine is which the kind of kept in a special cellar for many years in the wine sommelier then you should be cautious, or wine may be return to the bottom of the bottle back from Pingzui or blistering, and bottom of the sediment stirred up due to ”backlash“.And the bottle of wine should not be empty, please leave about an inch deep to the wine, because they may have a little reception for cloudy precipitate.In the Western table, you can toast, but do not persuade others to drink more like we Chinese usually do.And please ensure that you have an excessive drinking, and if you are a visitor three cups of wine will be suitable.If you do not want to drink because of some physical problems, you can politely say: ”I do not drink, thank you.“ Please pay attention to that your hand should not cover the cup.Finally, let me talk about the problem that whether we should have a cold drink with red wine.Europeans generally believe that only white wine needs cold beverages, when drinking red wine, the room temperature is suitable.A national wine-tasting expert stated that probably because of the different geographical and cultural backgrounds and they lead to people misunderstanding.The average temperature in Europe is about 15 ~ 18 ℃ or so.Moreover, only the possession of alcohol possession of the French underground wine cellar in their own place in the relatively cool, the general temperature is 12 ℃.Although the temperature difference between winter and summer, but there is no effect on the wine quality.In China, most of the summer temperature usually reaches 30 ℃.The so-called 15 ~ 18 ℃ temperature is also limited to the best Bordeaux and Burgundy wine flavors in terms of heavy, other than a light red wine in terms of taste, Maybe it tastes better a little cold again.This wine-tasting expert had drunk the wine in the hot sun under the irradiation of the so-called ”room temperature“ wine, he said: ”These 'hot wine' than 'hot beer', but also very hard to swallow."

And thus he has given such an advice: we do not have too rigidly about the wine temperature, if we feel not well with the wine temperature, wine, cool as ice bucket can be placed.In short, just choose what you like.4.Conclusion

From what has been mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that wine plays an important in our daily life.People’s life becomes colorful with it.As regards the wine culture, there exists difference between China and the western countries.The raw material and drinking custom is different in terms of geography.There also exist similarities.Both China and western countries have some beautiful legends about the origin of wine and the symbol wine of spirit, leading to the birth of romanticism and the development of mainstream belief.The development of world wine culture depends on the intercommunication of different nations.Thus, communicating with other nations is helpful and indispensable to the development of wine culture.Some methods can be done to promote intercommunication.Nowadays, as we know, globalization is inevitable, so is the intercommunication of wine culture between countries.The wine as an objective substance in the world is in the shape of water but it has the character of fire.It will brighten the bright and fool the fool.People, such as the emperors, the heroes, the liberators, the ordinary people, the beggars and the like, all like it since it appeared.Undoubtedly, the wine can be said as a riddle.People no matter in China or in western countries all have the habit of drinking wine.They regard drinking wine as an indispensable part of life There is no doubt that the wine culture was gradually formed after the appearing of wine.With the rapid development of science and technology ,more and more people believe that wine culture is playing an important role in our life.While we pride ourselves on the long history of wine culture we only to find that we depend excessively on the traditional wine culture.It is generally acknowledged that China is far away from the western countries.As a result, the way to drink is different.Even in China, there is also some difference between nationalities on the way to drink.There is also some similarities of wine culture between China and western countries although the difference exists.For example, both China and western countries have a beautiful legend about the origin of wine.The development of wine spirit accompanied with wine culture.While wine culture developed to a certain degree, schools of ideology came into being.In order to push the development of wine culture we should do our utmost to promote the international communication of the wine culture.References [1]陈少华．独领风骚的中国酒文化[J]．科学中国人，1999，(2)：45—48．

摘要：酒是人类生活中的主要饮料之一。在人类文化的历史长河中，它不仅是一种客观的物质存在，而且是一种文化象征，即酒神精神的象征。酒文化源远流长，品种繁多，是一个国家历史发展和文化沉淀过程中不可缺少的一环。中西方文化价值观存在着根本性的差异，酒文化也是一样。本文通过比较中西方酒的源头，酿酒原料与酒品的差异，酒文化核心的差异，酒的交际功能等方面的不同来分析和比较中西方酒文化差异，从而进一步阐述中西方文化差异，特别是价值观方面的差异。关键词：中国，西方，酒文化，比较

文化是人类在社会历史过程中所创造的物质财富和精神财富的总和，中国和西方的酒文化差异，包括酒的酿造工艺和酒人文精神等的差异，都可以归结为物质和精神两大类。造成这些差异的原因是多方面的，不仅有地理环境、物产和风俗习惯等因素的不同，而且有生产方式、文化传统等因素的不同，但是也不外乎客观和主观两个方面。只要密切关注这两个方面的变化，就能在一定程度上了解和把握中国和西方酒文化发展的脉搏，促进中西文化的交流与发扬光大。

酒被认为是酒神赐予人们的礼物。酒文化源远流长。酒在人们日常的交际生活中起着重要作用。由于生活环境、历史背景、传统习俗、价值观念、思维模式和社会规范等的不同，东西方（甚至国与国之间）的酒文化呈现出风格迥异、丰富多彩的民族特性。对东西方酒文化特性进行比较研究，颇有意义。东西方酒文化同中有异、异中有同，内容丰富。了解不同民族的酒文化，有助于人们成功地进行跨文化交际。

本文主要研究中西方酒文化在精神象征方面和风俗习惯中的差别。具体将从中西方酒文化所体现出的不同的酿酒技术、人文精神以及酒俗酒礼三个方面对本文主题进行阐述，本文旨在发扬中国酒文化，了解中西方酒文化，找出二者的差异，实现中西方酒文化的交流。

在中国的餐桌上，大家喝的酒一般是啤酒，如哈啤，青岛啤酒，雪花啤酒等等，或是白酒，如茅台，五粮液，北京二窝头等等。在美国，喝啤酒的人很多。但是，我很少见

到美国人有直接喝酒精浓度很高的白酒，这和中国很不同。还有，我极少见到美国人在餐桌上互相敬酒，大家通常都是各喝各的。只有在某些特定场合，大家才会一同举杯。这样的时刻通常是在某人致辞之后，大家交相举杯，祝福某人，为某人某事庆贺。仔细想想，可以发现：中国人饮酒重视的是人，要看和谁喝，要的是饮酒的气氛；西方人饮酒重视的酒，要看喝什么酒，要的是充分享受酒的美味。中国的饮酒礼仪体现了对饮酒人的尊重。主人，客人都有固定的座位，都有固定的敬酒次序。敬酒时要从主人开始敬，主人不敬完，别人是没有资格敬的，如果乱了次序是要受罚的。而敬酒一定是从最尊贵的客人开始敬起，敬酒时酒杯要满，表示的也是对被敬酒人的尊重。晚辈对长辈、下级对上级敬酒要主动敬酒，而且讲究的是先干为敬。而行酒令、划拳等饮酒礼仪，也是为了让饮酒人喝的更尽兴而应运而生的。显然，中国酒文化深受中国尊卑长幼传统伦理文化的影响，在饮酒过程中把对饮酒人的尊重摆在最重要的位置上。而西方人饮用葡萄酒的礼仪，则反应出对酒的尊重。品鉴葡萄酒要观其色、闻其香、品其味，调动各种感官享受美酒。在品饮顺序上，讲究先喝白葡萄酒后喝红葡萄酒、先品较淡的酒再品浓郁的酒、先饮年轻的酒在饮较长年份的酒，按照味觉规律的变化，逐渐深入地享受酒中风味的变化。而对葡萄酒器的选择上，也是围绕着如何让拼饮者充分享受葡萄酒的要求来选择的。让香气汇聚杯口的郁金香型高脚杯、让酒体充分舒展开的滗酒器、乃至为掌握葡萄酒温度而为品饮专门设计的温度计，无不体现出西方人对酒的尊重，他们的饮酒礼仪、饮酒文化都是为更好的欣赏美味而制定的。

无论是中国的豪饮，还是西方的品酒，都希望酒文化能够在以后的时间里比较出更多更好的酒，也可以是酒文化得到发展和继承，让更多的人了解酒文化，欣赏酒文化！在中国，酒常常被当做一种工具，所谓醉翁之意不在酒。如青梅煮酒是为了论证谁是英雄；杯莫停的将进酒，为的是与尔同消万古愁；竹林里狂歌的七贤，为的是借酒避难。酒在中国人眼里更多的是当作一种交际的工具，所以在中国的酒文化中缺乏对于酒本身进行科学而系统的理论分析和品评，更在意饮用他后带来的美妙作用。在西方，饮酒的目的往往很简单，为了欣赏酒而饮酒，为了享受美酒而饮酒。当然，在西方葡萄酒也有交际的功能，但人们更多的是追求如何尽情的享受美酒的味道。

比较中西方酒文化，可以发现，酒文化之间的差异其实就是中西方思维方式的差异。中国人喝白酒的多，西方人基本不喝白酒，以果酒和啤酒为主，中国酒礼可太多了，一时也说不清，各地都不相同，我有个朋友说，他有个外国朋友，外国朋友说过：“我们德国人喝的才叫酒，你们中国人喝的不叫酒，叫酒精”好了，把这个事写到你的论文

中吧，这个外国人说的话说明了很多问题，我国酒的酿造工艺非常差，酒精直接对水，像法国的葡萄酒，要选上好的葡萄，还要用橡木桶封装，工艺十分讲究。

鉴于上述情况，中西酒文化对比主要研究的是中西方酿酒技术的差异、中西方酒俗的差异、中西方酒文化所折射出的人文精神的差异。酒文化是人类社会文化和历史文化的投影，从一个侧面反映出其所属群族的文化本质。酒文化的差异就是其主体文化的差异，不同的饮酒习俗与酿酒技术和原料等，有助于我们加深对主体文化差异的认知。
