Wine "Akura": types and reviews
It can not be said that the wine "Akura" enjoys great popularity among the Russians. Perhaps, it is because it appeared not so long ago on the counters of wine shops of our country.
Sunny drink
The wine "Akura" is produced in the country, the nature and climate of which create excellent conditions for winemaking. It all started back when Bulgaria was part of Ancient Thrace. Grapes were grown near large rivers and on the Black Sea coast. After a long and difficult journey, the country has preserved ancient traditions and now occupies a worthy place among the most famous producers of grape products. On the foreign market are delivered thousands of decaliters of wines of different brands and qualities. They are the product of more than a hundred small and large producers. Among such a variety of "Acura" is not the last place.
It is produced at the Dolna Banya factory, which is located in the town of the same name in the south-west of Bulgaria. Here, on the bank of the ancient Maritsa river in the picturesque Dolnobanskaya valley, vineyards were grown from ancient times. Vine to this day takes its strength from the earth, from the depths of which beats many mineral springs. It is blown by fresh warm air from the mountains. It is these juicy fruits that have become the basis for a new fragrant wine.
The secret of cooking
Experts believe that the wine "Akura" rather refers to drinks. If you carefully consider the technology of its production, you can be sure that this statement is quite true. The product is produced on the basis of the most natural wine. At one of the stages of the technological process, juice is added to it from fresh berries and fruits. As a result, you get a pretty delicious flavored wine. In this case, such a phrase is most appropriate. The alcohol content in it, as a rule, does not exceed 8.5 percent. Therefore, "Akura" can be more easily classified as dry wines. And the sugar content in the amount of 90 to 130 grams makes it possible to attribute it to semisweet wines. A special fruit is produced by an unusual fruit additive. This method is rarely used in standard technology. Winemakers often use mixing raw materials. Because of this feature, many people call the Bulgarian "Akura" fruit wine.
The price of pleasure
Separately, we must pay attention to the fact that the wine "Akura" is quite inexpensive. In our stores, you can buy such a drink for a very ridiculous price. What does it mean for wine 225 rubles for a standard bottle of 0.75 liters? And if you add to this a balanced rich taste and a pleasant aroma, then there is an irresistible desire to go to the store for shopping. Of course, in different retail outlets prices differ from each other. But in any case, an ordinary bottle of white or red "Acura" will not cost more than 400 rubles.
In addition, there are other options for packaging: 1.0; 1.5; 2.0 liters. Large volumes are poured into tetrapacks with a convenient screw stopper. This option is the best for a country walk. Feeling of ease from drinking wine in this case will pleasantly complement the fresh air, sun and positive mood of the company of friends. But knowledgeable people advise to be extremely cautious. After all, a delicate semi-sweet drink after a while very well even strikes the head.
User Reviews
Many Russians were lucky enough to try the not quite ordinary wine "Acura". Product reviews and opinions after such a tasting were divided. Some consider it a miserable likeness to wine and low-grade products. They are sure that if this is a flavored drink, then it must necessarily contain chemical components. Although in this case only natural juice is used. That's how public opinion leads people to erroneous conclusions.
Others are sure that this is quite a worthy wine. It is very easy to drink and has a pleasant long sweetish aftertaste. But, in truth, this product is more like a cocktail. As the basis is a natural grape wine, and additives in the form of juice and sugar it is pleasantly supplemented, slightly changing the habitual taste and aroma.
This mixture is more like women. Perhaps that's why men practically do not pay attention to it. But as an addition to a pleasant conversation of close friends Akura is just perfect.
Appearance
On the shelf in the store you can immediately see a product with a poetic name "Acura" (wine). The photo will help you to consider all the subtleties and evaluate the appearance of the goods.

If this is not possible, then it is better to use simple ice cubes and put them directly into the glass. In this form, wine will be a wonderful aperitif. The bottle is clogged with an ordinary stopper, which is extracted with a corkscrew.
On the front side of the container there are two labels. One is colorfully framed and contains the name of the product. The other is much smaller in size. It depicts the fruit whose juice is used as an additional component. On the reverse side there is also a label on which all the information about the product is collected, starting with the description of the taste and data about the manufacturer and ending with the characteristics and rules of storage. This is very convenient if the buyer first purchases such a product.
Plum Smell
Despite the fact that there is a rich assortment of the trademark "Akura" on sale, there is only one white wine in it. This drink has a plum flavor.
He has a nice, slightly transparent straw color. According to the characteristics of such a wine is no different from other representatives with a similar name.

Fragrant raspberry
Another vivid representative of the famous Bulgarian brand is the wine "Acura" raspberry. Using the already well-known technology, experts decided to diversify the product line and use raspberry juice as an additional ingredient. The product turned out to be a rich red color with pleasant notes of fresh berries in taste.
Variety of taste
The ruler of the famous Bulgarian drink can be conditionally divided into two parts by color: the wine "Akura" is red and white. If the second is basically a drink with white plum, the first is not so limited. It includes several specimens with rather interesting and unusual tastes. In addition to the already known raspberries, juices of quince, pomegranate, red plum are added to red varieties, and the root of ginger is also used. In addition to the characteristic color, it gives a unique range of taste and a real holiday of flavor.
In addition, according to the conventional wisdom, red wines are more useful to the body than representatives of white varieties. This is due to the peculiarity of the structure of the fruit itself. They contain more of those amino acids and other chemical compounds that affect the growth and development of cells, and are also responsible for the normal metabolism. In ancient times, red wines were used to improve well-being. People did not know then that this drink helps to expand the blood vessels and lower the cholesterol in the blood. In the new Bulgarian product, all these qualities are combined in the best way.
