As the saying goes: "Good wine cannot be better than Yu". As a well-known wine-making province, Henan also has a very long history of wine culture. Everyone knows that Henan has a vast territory and rich resources. Looking around, none of the famous wines on the market today come from Henan. Is it because the quality of Henan’s wine is not as good as that of Maotai, Wuliangye , Luzhou Laojiao ?
In fact, this is not the case. Although the current wines in Henan are not as famous as those famous wines on the market, when it comes to the quality of the wines, they are not inferior at all. More importantly, Henan's "Zhang Baolin" was very popular in the 1990s and could be called a "Chinese famous wine", but due to various reasons, it was reduced to a "local famous wine".
It is said that in 1984, Zhang Gong, Songhe, Baofeng, Linhe, Dukang won the National Quality Silver Award at the same time. Yujiu was also popular for a while, and Zhang Gong, Baofeng, and Linhe even reached the top. "China's famous wine", and its sales volume at that time was close to that of "Fen Boss".
So, why is the once popular "Zhang Baolin" no one cares about now, and fewer and fewer people know about him?
► Zhang Gong Daqu
When it comes to this wine, most people are not familiar with it. Now when it comes to famous wines in Henan, most wine lovers blurt out either Dukang or Yangshao . As the first generation of famous wines in Henan, Zhang Gongjiu can’t help but make people feel sad. At that time, this wine pioneered low-alcohol wine in the country, and now famous wines Moutai and Wuliangye also learned from its advanced technology.
Its long history and rich cultural connotation also determine its excellent quality. The wine-producing area of Zhanggong has various microorganisms suitable for wine-making, and has absolute wine-making advantages. With the blessing of this advantage, the gap between similar wines has also widened. Although this wine has a low alcohol content, its strong aroma is not diminished at all. It has a lingering fragrance and a long aftertaste. It has its own unique quality.
► Baofeng Daqu
It is said that this wine has the longest recorded history and can be traced back to 4,000 years ago. Of course, this is also said, but whether it is reliable is still open to question. According to local drinkers, this wine is a rare light-flavored wine in Henan. It is famous because it is produced in Baofeng, and is also favored by local drinkers.
This wine was also a hit. At the same time, it was called "Zhang Baolin" together with Zhang Gong and Lin He. It was considered a famous wine in China at that time. It was once equal to or even surpassed the "Fen Boss" at that time. For some reason, it has become a local famous wine. It is not well known, but it does not affect its taste at all. Due to its unique craftsmanship, this wine has a pure body, a refreshing aroma, and a long aftertaste.
► Linhe Daqu
Linhe wine is included in the Shangqiu City municipal intangible cultural heritage protection list. It is conceivable that this wine has a long history. According to locals, this wine Wine dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Its traditional brewing techniques were produced in Linhe Village, which is also known as the "Wine Village".
This wine has the same situation as the two wines above. Both were once very popular, but now they are reduced to local wines, but this does not affect people's preference for it at all. This strong-flavor wine has an extremely clear liquid, a very rich cellar aroma, a strong fruit aroma, a refreshing entrance, and a relatively pure body, which is why the locals love it.
These three wines are among the best in terms of wine quality and brewing history. Even today they are comparable to some famous wines, but now they have fallen to the point where no one cares. I believe there are similar wines like this all over the country. The quality of the wine is not bad and no one knows it outside the local area, such as Shandong's Kongfujia and Guizhou's Handong Master Liquor .
● Shandong Kongfu Family Wine
It is said that this wine is the special wine for banquets held by Yan Shenggong in the past dynasties, and has a history and culture of thousands of years. This wine was once popular across the country and was also a famous wine in China. Later, due to a series of incidents, it was reduced to a local wine. Nowadays, very few people outside the province know about it.Speaking of this wine, we have to mention its packaging. The antique packaging looks very distinctive, the wine quality is also very good, and the entrance is relatively soft.
● Guizhou Handong Master Liquor
This wine is very famous in the local area and can be regarded as a high-quality ration wine. This wine comes from the core sauce wine production area of Maotai Town . It is said to be called Known as "Kweichow Little Moutai", the natural wine-making advantages of the core Maotai wine-producing areas have destined this wine to be of excellent quality. html has a 61-year brewing cycle, using 6-year-old and above-old wines for brewing and then cellaring for more than 3 years. , Therefore, the cellar aroma of this wine is relatively strong, and the sauce aroma is also relatively prominent. Everyone who has tasted it is full of praise.
Henan's very popular "Zhang Baolin", no one cares about it now, and fewer and fewer people know about it. There are many wines with similar experiences. Who else do you know?
