美國(guó)夏令營(yíng)小編來(lái)告訴您：
美國(guó)的酒大致可分為啤酒、雞尾酒、威士忌和葡萄酒。啤酒有淡啤酒跟濃啤酒之別;包裝采用瓶裝、聽裝和壺裝。雞尾酒跟“混合飲料”含有很濃的酒精成分，飲用方式一般有加冰與不加冰兩種，其配制的方式各種各樣。威士忌也是一種烈性的酒，而且呈油狀，分為黑麥威士忌跟蘇格蘭威士忌。葡萄酒分為紅、白兩種，但值得注意的是：標(biāo)有“Chablis”商標(biāo)的葡萄酒并非法國(guó)所產(chǎn)的無(wú)甜味的白葡萄酒，而為美國(guó)加利弗尼亞州生產(chǎn)的白葡萄酒，該酒在美國(guó)享有盛譽(yù)。
51TestBeer
51TestAmerican beer, with very few exceptions, varies from the mediocre(普通的) to the terrible. There are not many types of beer in the US—"light" and "dark" are two terms commonly used.
51TestIt is therefore normal to order beer simply by brand name. In a restaurant, in fact, it is quite all right to order "a beer", and they will tell youwhat they have.
51TestIt is not necessary, either, to specify quantity when ordering beer. If it comes in bottles or cans, you will get a bottle or can, and if it's "on tap"(可以隨時(shí)取用的) you will get a glass, unless you order a "pitcher"(有嘴和柄的大酒罐 i.e.a jug). The latter is very convenient thing to do, since you can then take the jug and glasses to your table and keep filling up without going back to the bar. (It is harder, however, to know how much you have drunk.)
美國(guó)游學(xué)路線>>51TestSome beer comes in bottles with tops that look as if they need an opener, but you can, in fact, screw(擰開) them off by hand—though you have to be very careful not to hurt yourself. It is possible, in some stores and bars,to find a wide selection of beer from all over the world, especially Western Europe and Australia, and it is good fun to experiment with these.
51TestCocktails
51TestCocktails and "mixed drinks" are much more popular and rather stronger in the USA than in Europe, and visitors may not be familiar with some of the terminology( 術(shù)語(yǔ) ). "On the rocks", as you probably know, means with ice, while "straight up" or "up" means neat and without ice.
There are hundreds of different cocktails, and there is no space here to list all the different names.
51TestThe Hard Stuff
51TestIn America "whiskey" means bourbon(一種烈性威士忌酒，最初為美國(guó)肯塔基州Bourbon地區(qū)所產(chǎn)) unless otherwise indicated. Bourbon is a rather oily spiritmade from maize(玉米). Rye(黑麥威士忌酒) whiskey is called "rye" and Scotch
whiskey "Scotch".
51TestWine
51TestIn bars wine can often be bought by the glass. Don't be misled by names such as "Chablis" is used to refer to white wine, and "Burgundy" to red—Americans seem never to have heard of white Burgundy.
