Nowadays, when I get together with friends for a drink, I don’t know which wine to choose. I used to love baijiu, but since I drank blended wine, I felt uncomfortable and lost confidence in baijiu.
But after chatting with wine experts, it turns out that you really can’t look at the price and packaging of liquor. This is indeed easy to make mistakes.
Expert friends told me that there are advantages and disadvantages to drinking white wine and blended wine. It is true that it feels uncomfortable, but from now on, you can really be careful when choosing white wine.
But then again, if you spend a lot of money to buy wine and drink it, it is really distressing. An old wine friend gave some advice: there are also grain wines for less than 100 yuan, don’t make a mistake! These three kinds of wine are the "ration wine" of 80% of the old wine drinkers, and they are often used by this connoisseur friend to entertain guests. Have you tried any of them?
The first one: Golden Sauce Silver 53%
As you can tell from the name, it is a sauce-flavored liquor produced in Maotai Town, Guizhou Province.
The biggest feature of this wine is that it is seasoned with alcohols of different years, different rounds, and different flavor characteristics, making it a unique style of Maotai-flavor wine. , continuously. You can clearly feel the rich aroma of sauce in the mouth, and the craftsmanship of sauce wine is complex, giving it a delicate and heavy feeling.
The second style: Gudao Jianghu 1800
As we all know, about 70% of China's strong-flavor liquor comes from Qionglai, Sichuan. This is due to the climate environment in southern Sichuan that provides excellent conditions for brewing.
This wine uses local "red tassel glutinous sorghum" as the main raw material, and together with five other crops including barley, wheat, corn, and glutinous rice, it creates the characteristics of a "multi-grain, strong-flavor" liquor.
Not only is the wine good, but the winery is also very powerful. It has provided base wine for many famous wines and has a large production capacity. This wine continues the Sichuan-style Luzhou-flavor liquor’s ancient Qujiu craftsmanship, and then is brewed with high-temperature Daqu. After the wine is made, it is fermented and stored under cellaring conditions for 1,800 days. The stable body of the wine highlights the characteristics of full cellar aroma.
Therefore, this wine is full of grain flavor. Although it is a 52-degree liquor, it is refreshing, mellow and fragrant in the mouth, and does not feel spicy when swallowed. The most important thing is that after cellaring, the impurities evaporate, making the wine pure and not overpowering. I make ration wine every day, it’s cheap and delicious, and I can’t afford it.
The third one: Junzhisi
"Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum" is known as The Four Gentlemen of Flowers . When culture collides with liquor, it makes many people "unexpected". Even in terms of its packaging, To describe it, the soil exploded. Indeed, the packaging of this wine is relatively bright and colorful, which gives people a somewhat "vulgar" feeling, but after all, what you drink is the taste.
This wine uses local glutinous sorghum as raw material, and adheres to the unique "12987" process of Maotai wine. Since the brewing time of Maotai wine is relatively long, the taste of the finished wine is more delicate and mellow, which is more suitable as a ration wine. , this kind of packaging is also more face-saving for gift giving.
Therefore, the three wines above are not inferior to famous wines in terms of taste. It is only because of insufficient publicity that they cannot be exported to this province, but the quality of the wine must be superior.So, when you buy wine in the supermarket and see a cheap wine with inconspicuous packaging, you must pay more attention. Maybe it is the grain wine you want?
Having said that, I might as well share with you a little method of choosing liquor, so that you can find a liquor suitable for self-drinking in a short time:
. Choose the liquor flavor that suits you: the mainstream ones on the market The aroma types of liquor include light aroma, strong aroma, and sauce aroma. Of course, there are also some other aroma types. The taste of each aroma type of liquor is different, so it is very important to choose a liquor aroma that suits you. Many old wine lovers will choose it. strong-flavor liquor is not only comfortable in taste, but also enjoyable in terms of smell.
. Choosing high-alcohol liquor is the best: Many people think that low-alcohol liquor is not burdensome. In fact, the alcohol content has nothing to do with whether it is high or not. Liquor with a temperature of 52 degrees or above is recognized by drinkers as the most delicious and low-alcohol liquor. Drinking is more satisfying when you don't drink too much. High-quality liquor has a relatively stable body and a softer taste.
. The selling price should also be considered: as ration wine, it must be drunk for a long time, and the price should also be considered. After all, it will be a big expense over time. Although and Mao Wujian are good, most people can't really afford them, and the price premium is serious and uncontrollable. Then there are a lot of food and wine that cost around 100 yuan, and they cannot be ignored just because they are not well-known.
. Shake the bottle to see the hops: Buying liquor is not like buying other foods. You can taste and drink it. Therefore, when choosing, we can shake the glass bottle and see the dense hops that last for a long time. It is a good grain wine. If there are not many hops and they dissipate immediately, it may be a blended wine and should not be purchased.
Conclusion: Drinking white wine makes you feel comfortable, but you must remember that grain wine is the first choice. For your own health, do not be a "guinea pig" for blending wine.
