Cambios

It was very common for a long time to say “Jesus!” before drinking water. That was mainly said when drinking between meals.

=== Consumption ===

Depending on the region in question, there are usually preferences to drink different types of wine as regards its alcohol content, taste, acidity, and other specific characteristics that the drinkers know how to appreciate. Nevertheless, a change in tastes has been seen in recent decades: from full-bodied wines with a high alcohol content (15-16º) to lighter ones that are smooth on the palate and with lower alcohol contents (12-13º). This is just a general overview of consumption and does not enter into the details that the great wine tasters could provide regarding whether one or another goes best with different dishes.

Compared to table wine, Txakoli wine has medium alcohol content and great acidity.

A bay branch was placed on the farmstead’s gate or on a post in front of it to show that the ''txakolin'' was open. A large table with long benches for the drinkers to sit on was set up in the porch.

Cider is a refreshing drink with a low alcohol content, which is produced by fermenting apple juice. It is best drunk chilled but not cold.
