  • There are many stereotypes about Germans and their affinity for alcohol - and particularly for their world-famous beer. But is anything about their drinking habits changing? You could be surprised!
    In this episode of Meet the Germans, Shabnam takes a deep dive into Germany’s drinking culture. Having moved to the country from India in 2017, Shabnam has meanwhile discovered various German drinking rituals. But there are still a few drinks she hasn’t tried yet. In this episode, she bravely tests a selection of classic German liquors.
    Do you have any drinking rituals in your country? And which German drinks would you like to try out? Let us know in the comments!

    Fun fact: The oldest wine bottle that is still sealed and retains its original contents can be admired in Speyer, Germany. It was a burial gift for a Roman (legionary?) 1,700 years ago.

      And the worlds oldest drinkable wine in a barrel, is stored in the Bremen town hall, in the huge wine cellar (5.000 sqm) of the Bremen townhall, where high up visitors (Queen, PMs etc) are allowed to have a small sip of, is the "Rüdesheimer Rose from 1645" and the major and cellar master are the only ones, which have access and are allowed to drink it. 😊

    Hallo Shabnam!
    I really like you as a host here!
    I am a Brazilian married to a German and we live here and in Germany. I love the Bavarian beer and the huge selection. Sparkling wine is really good and cheaper compared to Brazil.Drinks like Aperol spritz it’s bitter and not an option for me, while my husband loves it! I am always in shock when I am there and during festivals,they start to drink at 9,10 a.m ,something that it’s not common in Brazil. Prost!!🇧🇷❤️🇩🇪

    I grew up in Argentina and wine is served with all meals. The parents would serve their kids a little wine and fill the rest of the glass with soda water. Apart from that, I learned how to drink Beer at a very young age in Argentina. The laws of the 1970's (ja ich bin alt) allowed teenagers to buy beer. I love the German wines and the German Beers! I found out that if you drink too much Jagermeister, you will eventually go outside and howl at the moon, like a wolf! Hahaha!! :)

    Bei 4:50: der Interviewte hat wohl die Deutsche Sprache zu Hause gelassen: man sagt im Deutschen: "ich habe einen siebten Sinn für etwas". Der siebte Sinn ist also etwas Übernatürliches. Die sechs Sinne sind:
    1. Gleichgewicht
    2. Geschmack
    3. Gehör
    4. Tasten
    5. Sehen
    6. Riechen
    Deshalb spricht man im Deutschen vom 7. Sinn.
    Medizinsch gibt es natürlich noch mehr Sinne.
    Warum äfft er hier den Angelsachsen mit seinen "5 Senses" und dem "sechsten Sinn" nach? Der Angelsachse kann eben nunmal nicht zählen. Ich bin selbst US-Amerikaner und mir ist die Anbiederung der deutschsprachigen Europäer an die englische Sprache peinlich.

      Ich frage nur, heiss der film "Siebte Sinn" der "Sechste Sinn" auf deutsch? Laut Wikipedia:
      "der Ausdruck „sechster Sinn“ wird verwendet, wenn jemand etwas bemerkt, ohne es (bewusst) mit den bekannten Sinnesorganen wahrzunehmen, was manchmal im Sinne einer „außersinnlichen Wahrnehmung“ (Psi-Fähigkeiten, Telepathie, Hellsehen, Präkognition) empfunden oder imaginiert werden kann.@@Andreas_Cologne

    I'm surprised and pleased to hear that Germans are cutting back their alcohol consumption. The industries that peddle this stuff are experts at covering up the negative effects - especially the wine makers. A little bit of alcohol may not ruin you, but zero is best, and those partygoers in the video prove that you can still have plenty of fun without it.
