1. is the smell of old wine?

Everyone knows that the newly brewed new wine is very irritating and has a heavy evil flavor. Only after being stored for a period of time will the wine become soft and the taste will be more mellow. In the industry, we call this process "aged wine".

Good quality wine will be stored for three to four years after it comes out, and Maotai-flavor liquor will be stored for five years. Until the esterification reaction of the wine reaches equilibrium and no reaction occurs, that is the best drinking period for the wine.

Many people misunderstand this concept and think that the longer the wine is stored, the better it will be. In fact, this depends on what kind of wine it is. For example, Fen-flavor and rice-flavor liquor are not suitable for long-term storage. Among all liquors, only Maotai-flavor liquor is suitable for long-term storage.

In addition, those low-end wines are not suitable for long-term storage. This kind of wine will be added with aroma and seasoning during the blending process, and the wine will become bitter and astringent if it is stored for too long.

It's true that the wine is old, but it depends on what kind of wine it is. Some wines are best to drink after reaching the best drinking period, but it is not good to store them for too long. Some wines are suitable for long-term storage, you can consider storing the wine for a period of time before drinking.

2. blending, is it a hidden rule or an explicit rule?

At the mention of the word "blending", many people think of a series of bad things such as water, alcohol and so on. In fact, everyone has always misunderstood blended wine. Let me give you an example. In fact, blending wine is just like stir-frying. You have to put salt, oil, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings to stir-fry the dishes to taste good.

The same is true for wine making. You need to blend and modulate pure grain wine with different production time and different degrees to make good wine. This is not everyone can go to modulation, blending, need very rich experience and very skilled skills to blend out. This is almost the same as cooking. You need to know when to put salt and what kind of fire to cook it.

There is a saying of "seven points of technology and three points of art" in brewing liquor. These three points of art refer to blending liquor. Good blending can make the wine body harmonious and balanced, so as to contrast the main aroma and obtain more excellent flavor.

3. is low alcohol more healthy?

Often have wine friends ask me: wine elder sister is not drink low alcohol wine is good? More beneficial to health?

In fact, the degree of traditional distilled liquor will be very high when it is distilled, basically more than 60 degrees, so it needs to be "reduced" in the later stage ". In the industry, we call it "adding pulp", which is to blend different rounds of base wines, different typical wines and different years of base wines, so as to achieve the purpose of lowering.

Therefore, low-alcohol wine is also derived from high-alcohol wine through a reduction in degree. There is no difference between good and bad, and there is no saying that drinking high-alcohol wine hurts the body and low-alcohol wine is good for health.

4. years of wine is good wine?

In recent years, many people are keen to buy vintage wine and think that vintage wine is good wine. Therefore, many wineries in the market that have been making wine for only a few years dare to claim that they have 10, 15, 30, and 50 years of vintage wine. They really respond to the saying "The cellar has not been born, and the year is long".

Everyone should find out what vintage wine is. Vintage wine does not refer to how long a bottle of wine has been stored, but to the fact that this bottle of wine is blended with a certain vintage base wine. For example, Maotai's 15-year vintage refers to the use of not less than 15 years of base wine, according to a certain proportion of the standard to blend.

5. wine is a good wine?

Puree wine refers to the wine made by making, fermenting and distilling grain, which is the original liquor without blending and adding water.

Generally, the blended wine is more harmonious in color, aroma and taste than the puree wine, and the taste is more comfortable and more popular with consumers. However, the puree has not been blended and still maintains the original attributes of the wine, but the aroma and taste are not very good.

However, there is no difference between pulp wine and blended wine. Many businesses just want to sell more money under the banner of better pulp wine and higher quality. People should not listen to the myths of those merchants when buying wine, otherwise they will be fooled.

In addition, we need to say a point. There is no such thing as puree wine for Maotai-flavor wine. In recent years, I have seen a lot of selling Maotai-flavor puree wine, which makes me confused. Maotai-flavored wine needs to be taken seven times, so we usually only say a few rounds of wine, not puree wine.
