This is the best of times, and it is also the worst of times. Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, there are many good things, but there are also many fakes, especially liquor. If you are not careful when purchasing, you can easily be cheated. So many drinking friends complained that if they didn’t have some knowledge about liquor culture, they would be embarrassed to say that they knew how to drink.
Before, there were not many varieties of wine, but the ones we drank were all genuine and good wines. Nowadays, there are many levels of inferior wine such as alcoholic wine, blended wine, fake brand wine, bulk wine from big breweries, internally supplied wine, punched wine , bamboo tube wine , fake old wine, etc., which makes people feel scared.
The emergence of counterfeit wine has forced wine drinkers to keep their eyes peeled. If they don’t have the knowledge to appreciate counterfeit wine, they may become chopping board fish that everyone can eat. Therefore, in order to avoid drinking fake wine in recent years, many drinkers have continuously summarized many experiences, which are even more annoying than the previous "counterfeiting behavior". I couldn't help but use foul language: actually has such a damaging trick, it's so damaging!
Liquor has a "new scam". Not one bottle of these 4 types of liquor is real! It makes people hard to guard against. Without further ado, let’s get straight to the real stuff. From now on, I’ll see how far this type of liquor can go.
One of the new tricks of "counterfeiting": fake wine that doesn't taste good
Why is pure grain liquor so popular among drinkers? The main reason for this is that pure grain liquor does not taste as heady as alcoholic wine, so many unscrupulous merchants have begun to focus on the key point of "not going to the head". So "cold medicine" was added to the alcoholic wine in order to achieve the purpose of not getting drunk, and some flavors were added for seasoning, so most people could hardly drink it. The taste is infinitely close to "pure grain liquor", but liquor + You can imagine how harmful cold medicine is to the body.
New trick for "fake": adding hop essence
Many people think that the hops lingering for a long time is a good wine, but if the hops disperse slowly, is it really a good wine?
In fact, if you want the hops to look good and not dissipate, you can also achieve this by adding "flavors", "foaming agents" and "flavors". It has to be said that many unscrupulous merchants have really tried their best to come up with various technologies and methods in order to prevent consumers from noticing that it is "fake wine".
New "Fake" Trick No. 3: Adding Pigments to "Old Wine"
The color is clear, slightly yellow and transparent, making people obsessed with old wine. Is it really a good wine?
In our impression, old wine is often more valuable than new wine, because not only does old wine have a certain age, but it also tastes more mellow and fragrant than new wine. Therefore, unscrupulous merchants also began to focus on "old wine" and "fake it as real". In order to prevent consumers from seeing the new wine, they would add some "flavor pigments" to the wine so that the color would look the same as the old wine. color body.
The fourth new trick of “faking”: long-haired wine = vintage cellaring
The so-called long-haired wine is actually used by some unscrupulous merchants to fabricate the truth. A jar of real old cellared wine will undoubtedly cost time and labor. They are all very huge, but unscrupulous merchants don’t have such patience.
Many merchants will also paint a layer of special material on the outside of the jar, so that it can be as shown in the picture above in a few days. There are endless ways of counterfeiting, and there are all kinds of counterfeiting.
None of the above 4 types of wine is real wine, so what should we do? As the saying goes, there is a mountain higher than a mountain. Although various "counterfeit wines" continue to emerge, "there are always more ways than difficulties." Drinking friends have summarized many methods.
