The moment the bottle is opened and the product meets the outside air in which the gas concentration is very low, a process of equalizing the pressure in which the gas in the product seeks to escape into the air at low pressure / concentration begins.

xMurphy’s is an Irish stout beer.
These stouts are poured with a nitrogen mixture and not only with the carbon dioxide used in other carbonated beverages.
Nitrogen bubbles are much smaller than those of carbon dioxide, so the stout does not feel carbonated.
The unique effect of stout is achieved by a special pressure capsule placed in each can, releasing the nitrogen mixture when the can is opened.
If you look into a Murphy’s can or shake it after emptying it, you can see inside it a white plastic ball – this is the pressure capsule. When you pour Murphy’s into a glass you should see light brown vortex appearing in the glass, and after a few minutes a creamy foam head is forming over a dark, almost black beer.
This is the way a Murphy’s should be enjoyed, and we are not sparing any effort to ensure that you enjoy an ideal glass of stout each time.

xsodium bisulfite/Sulfur dioxide is an antibacterial compound added to wine, which prevents it from turning to vinegar. Sulfur dioxide is naturally occurring in the wine during fermentation, but in small amounts. The Sulfur dioxide also
Inhibits the activity of yeast in the wine and prevents the continued fermentation of the wine in the bottle, in wines that contain sugar (dessert wines and semi-dry wines).
Red wines contain the smallest amount of sulfur dioxide, both because they are typically dry and contain no residual sugar, and because the process of making red wine encourages the occurrence of natural preservatives in the wine.

The sediments are completely natural and harmless, although sometimes they can cause some bitterness.

The cork is damp or wet with wine on the top of the cork

Another possible reason for this phenomenon is that the wine was not properly stored, causing it to continue fermenting in the bottle.

Why is there no expiration date on the bottle?
xThe bottle will be labeled with a production code, the date on which the bottle was filled.
The wine has no expiration date, which is approved by the Ministry of Health.
The reason is that wines age and expire at different times, which are impossible to predict.
Since even spoiled wine is not dangerous to health, it was decided that there was no need to attach an expiration date to the wine.
How do you store wine properly?
xWines are affected by temperature, exposure to light, and movement.
It is recommended to:
1) Keep the wine at a temperature lower than 20 degrees.
2) Keep the wine in a dark place.
3) Keep the bottle lying horizontally.
For your information:
Because the cork is a natural plant based substance, it tends to dry and shrink. When it shrinks (it can take a few months), an opening can be created between the cork and bottle, which will allow oxygen to penetrate into the wine and spoil it. When the bottle is stored horizontally, the wine wets the cork, keeping it from drying and subsequently spoiling the wine.

Why does Absolut vodka freeze?
xAs a product containing 40% alcohol and 60% water, vodka freezes at a temperature of 24 degrees celsius. Absolut Vodka is made from natural ingredients only and has no artificial additives such as antifreeze. Sometimes, a freezer’s temperature can reach 16-18 degrees degrees celsius. If the freezer temperature is too low it is possible that Absolut Vodka will freeze faster than other vodkas.

Flavored Absolut vodka bottles do not feature a built-in pourer. Why?
xThe reason is that flavored Absolut bottles are more complex to forge and they are not as popular as classic Absolut.
