A.A. Liquor

The idea behind a wine-rating scale is functional: to standardize wine-tasting information and consumption. Across languages, varietals, regions and tastes, the point system used in wine ensures everyone has an understanding of a bottle’s quality. Standardization does not mean to make the world of wine boring and uniform, or to remove the nuance, complexity and individual preferences and experiences associated with a successful wine tasting.

Alcoholic beverage is the basic type of beverage that is drunk around the world at present.

Alcohol is a volatile, mobile, colorless fluid with an ethereal odor, obtained by fermenting a liquid containing sugar, the strength of which can be further increased by distillation.  The name is originally adapted from the Arabic word al-kohl.Kohl is a black, very fine dye powder used in cosmetic products. The name was later applied to highly refined chemical powders and extracts and then applied to distilled and finely distilled liquors.

Alcoholic beverages are three types : Fermented Alcoholic Beverages, Distilled alcoholic Beverages and Compound Alcoholic Beverages.

The selection is based on three different types of alcoholic beverages. For example, fermented alcohol includes Wine, Beer, Cider and Perry. Between those wine, is divided into sparkling wine, fortified wine and table wine according to the production method and brewing degree.

Our selection will not only focus on professional flavor, taste and aroma, but more importantly, let the wine tasters feel a truly good wine, achieve a "perfect balance", make the general public have a great taste.

Because of the increase of products many consumers are looking for Halal-certified food and many manufacturers are looking to get Halal-certified. Getting Halal certification is not an easy feat. Every country has their own Islamic council that is certified to give the official Halal seal of approval.

1. The industry has expanded across many other markets and regions outside of the Middle East this is reflected especially in Asia.

2. The international market also benefits from the Halal market as there is almost always a Muslim community that has a need for Halal products in a country. In many local communities, It is thought that not all Halal logos are legitimate, so having well-known and trusted Halal certifications can help in the long run for businesses.

3. There is a high demand for Halal products because of the growing Muslim population.

Therefore, we want to further combine the concept of halal food and clean label, namely AA Halal Plus, which consumers can identify excellent halal food at a glance.
