题目内容
13.Pisco is a city on the Peruvian coast,the home of Peruvian grape liquor(酒) Pisco has not only given its name to Peru's national drink,but it is also the centre of its production.Pisco has its origins in the 16th-century Spanish conquests(征服) of Latin America and particularly Peru and Chile.There the settlers found fertile land suitable for growing grapes.These vineyards(葡萄园) were so successful that soon the settlers were exporting crops back to Europe.
At first,grapes not suitable for making wines were distilled(蒸馏,提取) into a drink,and it soon became popular with sailors who began taking bottles with them back to Europe.They named it after the town where it was bought,Pisco,which in turn had been used to name the round pot that was used to store the liquor.
In the 19th century Pisco became a popular drink with the miners who flooded to San Francisco during the Gold Rush,and in the 1940s it again became a fashionable drink in New York and Hollywood.Production gradually spread from Peru to Chile.
However,Pisco is also the topic of heated arguments between Peru and Chile,both of which claim to have invented it.They may fight bitterly over who first distilled the drink,but the rules and regulations they have placed on its production have ensured that only top quality Pisco hits the liquor store shelves.
Nowadays,Pisco is produced using both ancient and modern techniques and can be enjoyed in its pure form or used to prepare various cocktails,such as the well-known"Pisco Sour".This is served in the best restaurants in Latin America and throughout the world.It can also be mixed with other liqueurs,fruit juice or soft drinks.The main markets for Pisco are currently the United States,Chile,Costa Rica,Venezuela and Canada.
