Wine bars are becoming more popular.These proposals have been born as wine centers for fans, amateurs and connoisseurs, offering a letter with a diverse catalog of different wines - the protagonist the red.As well as some breweries, their surroundings, the atmosphere, the selection, and other elements of the places have become key to constantly attract customers and give them a really unique experience, that - of fact - could be much more special than we think, according to a recent study.
Two glasses in a wine bar
The work, carried out by members of the University Institute of Lisbon, Portugal found that "drinking red wine in a contemporary western environment designed to increase the pleasure of experience could generate changes in consciousness commonly associated with states of the mystical type", pointing out that noIt is only pleasant for people to drink in those places, but it can cause special mental states.
Of course, a part of this has to do with alcohol, and we all know that this can change the mental state of a person. The study focused on a moderate dose of red wine in 102 participants who drank in different environments (alone, couple or group), and found that, particularly in wine bars, “red wine increased pleasure and excitement , the perception of time decreased, the subjective step of time decreased, increased the focus of attention to the present moment, the perception of the body decreased, the most vivid imagination returned and made the environment even more fascinating. ” This may be due to different factors such as the comfort offered by the environment, lighting, and of course, a little of alcohol, but also of its role in the environment. A person can focus on wines smells, observe space, or only in their drink, being a space that moves away from the outside world in various ways. And this happened regardless of whether the person was alone, in a group or accompanied by another person.
