- [What is Sake? Everything you need to know!](https://northernwineschool.co.uk/what-is-sake/): Sake is a fermented rice-based alcoholic drink. Traditionally associated with Japan, where it originated from, it is now made all around the world. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a ‘rice wine,’ type of beer, or distilled- it is not a spirit either. Because of the unique brewing process, and the special strains of yeast used in its production, it has naturally higher levels of alcohol than most wines or beers. However, typically it is between 13-20%abv which puts it in line with the strength of most wines.

Historically, the exact grains used were determined by the climate, and what was grown locally. For example, barley in Scotland and corn/rye in North America.
- [How to Store Wine Properly at Home](https://northernwineschool.co.uk/how-to-store-wine-properly-at-home/): Firstly, let's start by saying that ALL wine has a shelf life. Even expensive examples from the best vintages aren’t immortal.
