GENERALLY ALCOHOLIC DRINKS ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE GENERAL CLASSES:
酒精饮料一般可以分成三大类：
• BEERS, 发酵酒
• WINES, 酿造酒
• DISTILLED BEVERAGES. 蒸馏酒
 
EVERY COUNTRY AND EVERY NATION HAS ITS OWN TRADITION AND METHODS OF MAKING DISTILLED BEVERAGES AND, SIMILARLY, EVERY NATION NAMES THESE BEVERAGES IN ITS OWN WAY. FOR EXAMPLE IN ARMENIA - OGHI, IN CHINA - BAIJIU, IN RUSSIA - VODKA, IN MEXICO - TEQUILA, IN SCOTLAND - WHISKY, IN FRANCE - COGNAC, IN GERMANY - SCHNAPPS, IN CARIBBEAN ISLANDS - RHUM, IN GREECE - OUZO, IN UKRAINE - HORILKA, IN GEORGIA - CHACHA, ETC.
每个国家和每个民族都有本国和本民族独有的蒸馏酒酿造传统和酿造方法。同样，每个国家都会以自己的方式来给这些饮品命名。例如， 亚美尼亚将其称为“奥吉/OGHI”，中国将其称为“白酒”，俄罗斯将其称为“伏特加”，墨西哥将其称为“龙舌兰”，苏格兰将其称为“威士忌”，法国将其称为“干邑”，德国将其称为“香奈普”，加勒比海岛国将其称为“朗姆酒”，希腊将其称为“茴香酒”，乌克兰将其称为“霍利卡”，格鲁吉亚将其称为“查查酒”，等等。

ALL THESE DRINKS HAVE ONE SINGLE THING IN COMMON, IT IS THE GENERAL METHOD OF PREPARATION, THAT IS DISTILLATION.
所有这些酒都有一个共同点：它们共同的制备方式 —— 蒸馏。

ARMENIANS USED TO MAKE OGHI STARTING THE DAYS OF URARTU KINGDOM (860 BC – 590 BC). ARCHEOLOGISTS PROVE THAT COMMON PEOPLE OF THE KINGDOM WERE NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO TASTE OGHI. THE DRINK WAS EXCLUSIVELY MADE FOR THE KINGS ONLY AND THE PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT ONLY KINGS COULD STAND THE STRONG ALCOHOL CONTAINED IN OGHI.
亚美尼亚的OGHI酿造史始于公元前860-590时期的乌拉尔图王国。据考古学家考证，当时的统治者甚至禁止普通平民品尝OGHI。OGHI是国王的专属饮料。而且，当时的人民相信，只有国王才能承受OGHI猛烈的酒力。

HOWEVER, YEARS PASSED AND NOWADAYS ARMENIAN OGHI IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR ALCOHOL BEVERAGES IN ARMENIA. IT IS BEING SERVED AS A WELCOME DRINK TO HONORABLE GUESTS AND IS LARGELY CONSUMED IN THE COURSE OF FEASTS AND JOYFUL DINNERS WITH BEST FRIENDS.
但是，岁月流逝，今天，亚美尼亚OGHI已经成为民间最受欢迎、最普及的一种酒精饮料。人们用它招待贵客，或者，在节日宴会或好友聚餐时豪饮助兴。







IN ARMENIA OGHI IS PRODUCED FROM VARIOUS BERRIES AND FRUITS AND, THEREFORE, THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF OGHI AVAILABLE.
在亚美尼亚国内，人们使用各种浆果和水果来酿造OGHI，因此，人们能在市场上看到各种各样的OGHI。
