Speaking of famous Chinese wines, who doesn’t mention the big ones: Kweichow Moutai , Sichuan’s Luzhou Laojiao , Wuliangye , Jiannanchun , etc., they are all “legends” in our liquor circle.
And coincidentally, these famous wines all come from the southwest region of our country. The reason for this is probably not only the unique natural conditions of the place, but also the accumulation of thousands of years of winemaking history. Thousands of years of history have made great achievements. Today's sophisticated winemaking technology.
With these two conditions being met, the liquor industry in southwest China has always maintained vigorous development, especially famous liquors such as Moutai, which once promoted local economic development. According to relevant data, in the first half of 2021, Kweichow Moutai generated more than 49 billion in revenue and became a major local economic pillar.
While the first echelon maintains strong development momentum, several other major brands of famous wines that have quietly emerged in the southwest region have also supported the second camp of southwest famous wines. Let’s take a look today to see what good wines there are in the second camp.
1, Xijiu
The first Xijiu mentioned is another brand of the famous Kweichow Moutai. It can be regarded as a "student from the same school", and it is also a Maotai-flavor liquor. In recent years, it has been developing rapidly through its reputation as "big brother".
The taste is quite good, the wine is mellow and dense, and the aroma is relatively strong, but the taste is generally thin and the aftertaste is not enough. This is what most wine drinkers say about this wine. However, its internship wine brand also has multiple series, and everyone has to try more to find their favorite flavor.
However, after people around me drank Xijiu, they all felt that as Maotai-flavor liquor , it is actually very good to be able to do this at the same price. If everyone is not pursuing the ultimate enjoyment and just treats it as a daily It is still very suitable for eating and chatting with friends over rations of wine.
2 and Gudao Jianghu 2900
are produced in Qionglai, Sichuan, which is also the hometown of liquor. There are many local good wines, but it has carved a bloody road. As a strong-flavor grain wine, you can smell a very fragrant aroma as soon as you open the bottle, which is intertwined with rich grain aroma, cellar aroma and aged aroma, which is intoxicating.
When pouring the wine, you can see very dense foam, and the foam in the cup lasts for a long time. The wine liquid is pure and clear. These are the criteria for judging whether it is a "grain wine".
The entrance is mellow and harmonious, and the aroma of the wine "explodes" directly in the mouth. It is slightly spicy when you first drink it, but it gets better as you drink it, and it does not appear to be spicy in the throat. It is very comfortable to drink, and you can taste rich, It has a clean aftertaste and is very suitable as a ration wine.
3, Jinshahuishajiu
Young wine drinkers may not be familiar with it now, but Jinshahuishajiu, which was once one of the "Guizhou Eight Famous Wines", also played a very important role in Maotai-flavor liquor. Its mellow sauce-flavored style has won the support of many drinkers.
As a specialty of Jinsha, it has also become a national geographical indication product of China and has the characteristics of a very typical Maotai-flavor liquor. The wine is slightly yellow and transparent. When you open the bottle, you can smell an elegant and delicate aroma of soy sauce. It also has the characteristic of lingering fragrance in an empty cup.
The soft and plump taste is also the reason why many drinkers love it. It goes into the throat easily, does not stick to the head, and has a long aftertaste after drinking, which makes people want to stop.
Although it was once one of the top eight famous wines in Guizhou, its current momentum cannot be underestimated. According to relevant data, it also achieved more than 2.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 21, and its strength is quite good.
4, Zhenjiu
Zhenjiu can also be regarded as a "rising star" in recent years. Not only is it called the "Pearl of Wine" and "Treasure of Wine" by wine lovers who love it, it is even known as the "Moutai Sister Wine" in terms of quality. .
When many people drink it for the first time, they feel that the taste is not that rich and a bit bland, but after taking a few more sips and savoring it carefully, you can discover the wonders in it.
Because it focuses on "old wine", the sauce aroma and "old" flavor of Zhenjiu are very obvious. It is slightly sour when you first enter the mouth, and gradually a very obvious sour aroma fills your mouth. The taste is also mellow and smooth, and it goes well into the throat. , but after all, the quality cannot reach the height of Moutai, the aroma of the wine dissipates quickly, and the overall sense of layering is also weak.
But among the Maotai-flavor liquors, it is still very good to choose it as a ration wine.
As we all know, there is no shortage of famous wines in Southwest China, let alone good wines. In addition to the brands we have reviewed today, do you know any other famous local liquors? Please recommend it in the comment area.
