Poor harvest makes sugar a rarity

Rain in Brazil and drought in India, reduce the price - commodity price rally, investors expect

Off the coast of Brazil is the giant dam. All 122 cargo ships are in port or in advance and wait for their delivery. You are actually tons of sugar transport. But the sweet goods will not matter. Liability is the heavy rainfall that has drawn the harvest and transport routes affected. At the same time dry up on the other side of the world, in India, the weak monsoon much sugar can be.

For commodity experts such as Colin Fenton these weather vagaries are a clear indication that the sugar price is to be expected a rally. The sweet commodity is expected to increase this year, more than gold, says Fenton.

sugar in beverages

SPORTS DRINKS
So-called sports drinks offer another beverage alternative, albeit one marketed mainly at athletes. The
drinks contain mostly sugar, water, sodium, potassium, and flavorings. Whether they provide any additional benefit to athletes is debatable. For high-performance athletes, there may be some benefit from using these drinks because they replace sugar and sodium lost during extended periods of exercise. Water is still the preferred beverage for the average person and athlete. Plus, it has no calories or sugar, which most sports drinks do.
WINE STORAGE
It is not necessary to have a specially built wine cellar to store wine. Anywhere with a temperature from 45° to 65° Fahrenheit is acceptable, as long as the temperature does not fluctuate. The warmer the temperature, the faster the wine will age.
Cork-sealed wines should be stored on their sides to prevent the cork from drying.
The flavor of sparkling wines ranges from slightly sweet to dry. They usually have a lighter flavor than traditional wines. Fortified wines—Brandy or other liquors may be added to sherry, port, or other dessert wines to increase alcohol in
them.
