Russia, a vast country straddling the Eurasian continent, is renowned for its sprawling landscapes and resilient national character.

In increasingly frequent interactions with China, lots of Russian friends discovered a strange phenomenon that puzzled them:In China, alcohol appeared to be an everyday beverage, with people drinking freely at the dinner table, contrasting their otherwise precious and restrained attitude toward alcohol.

In Russia, strong alcohol is considered a necessity to resist the cold because of the geographic environment and climate factors. At the same time, alcohol is quite expensive in Russia due to the limitations of the brewing process and cost.

Therefore, Russians both fear and cherish their relationship with alcohol. However, when in China, they were surprised to discover that no matter if it's a family gathering or a friends get-together, alcohol is an indispensable drink, and there are many different types available at relatively affordable prices.

The profound background of Chinese wine culture amazes Russian friends. They have difficulty understanding why alcohol can be so common and inexpensive in China. Behind this lies the unique wine culture and dining habits of China.

In China, alcohol is more than just a drink; it serves as a social connector and a medium for conveying emotions. Whether it's a celebration or a business dinner, alcohol plays a significant role.

In recent years, with the continuous deepening of China-Russia relations, cooperation between the two countries in the fields of economic and trade, and cultural exchanges has become increasingly close. More and more Russians are coming to China to experience this unique wine culture in person.

They discovered that one reason why the price of alcohol is relatively affordable in China is that China has abundant grain resources and superb brewing techniques, making the brewing cost relatively low.

Differences in the alcohol cultures of China and Russia actually reflect the differences between the two countries in history, geography, and culture.

Due to its unique climatic conditions, wine has become a necessity in Russia, while in China, it carries more social and cultural significance. This difference is reflected not only in the way wine is consumed, but also in the different attitudes and values of the two peoples towards life.

It is worth mentioning that with the advancement of globalization and increased Sino-Russian exchanges, the cultural differences between the two countries are gradually narrowing.

Increasingly, Russians have begun to understand and accept Chinese alcohol culture, while the Chinese have also developed a strong interest in Russian alcohol culture.

This cultural exchange and integration not only increased the friendship between the two peoples, but it also injected new vitality into the cooperation and development of the two countries.

Last but not least, although China's wine culture has become popular and the wine is affordable, we still need to advocate the concept of healthy drinking.

While enjoying the pleasures of wine culture, we must also pay attention to our physical health and drinking safety. Only in this way can we truly appreciate the essence and charm of wine culture.
