The older you get, the deeper the nostalgia becomes!

I miss chatting with neighbors in the village, I miss the banquets in the countryside, and I miss the days of eating big pot meals since childhood. For wine lovers, what they miss the most is the home-made wine in the countryside.

In the past, the wine made in rural areas used real ingredients, tasted good, and was cheap. If you buy a pot, you can drink it with friends for several days.

But The wine brewed in rural areas now has a good taste, and is often found to contain methanol exceeding the standard . The quality is substandard. No matter how cheap the price is, no one dares to drink it.

For this reason, the author specifically consulted a professional winemaker who is just 60 years old this year. During the conversation with him, I learned that the current "lazy" nature of bulk wine is very serious, and there are three points in it that are very difficult to make now. arrive!

The first point: living conditions are simple and ordinary

In the past, the living conditions of every family were very ordinary and simple, so the food and daily necessities used were very practical, not to mention the liquor. You can definitely drink it. They are all made from grain.

After all, in the era before , there was no such thing as additive , and the wine produced would be delicious no matter how you drink it.

And on the ideological level , people in the past drank just to drink, now people drink mostly for socializing, to maintain human relationships, etc. . If you drink with a purpose in this way, you will naturally not be able to taste the wine. Delicious.

The second point: the traditional ancient brewing process

In the past, there was only one way to brew wine, and that was the traditional ancient process, which required a series of complex and natural processes such as koji making, fermentation, distillation, and wine extraction. The wine has a natural flavor and is certainly delicious.

is not like . Now, there is a new technology liquor, which is blended with food additives to form , which is mixed with grain wine.

Many drinkers drink alcohol-blended wine without knowing it. The taste is single, spicy and exciting, so you must choose carefully when buying liquor. The best is the first choice from regular channels, even if it is an unknown small brand It is also trustworthy. Take Jun Zhongyuan Private Wine as an example . Although it is not well-known, it is produced in a regular winery in Moutai Town, Kweichow.

The brewer Zeng Chuanzheng was also the apprentice of Li Xingfa , the former deputy director of Moutai. follows Moutai's 12987 Kunsha process. is brewed purely naturally after hundreds of processes and 6 years of cellaring.

Therefore, the finished wine is very mellow and mature. When you drink it, it tastes and has a strong sauce aroma. , the wine is slightly acidic and has compound aromas such as grain aroma, floral and fruit aroma, and cellar aroma. It is rich and harmonious, and it is smooth to swallow. Smooth and long-lasting aftertaste, people can't help but exclaim "good wine"!

The third point: the quality of grain is relatively solid.

Grain is the basis of wine making. Take the above Jun Zhongyuan Private Wine as an example. It only uses the unique local red tassel sorghum as raw material. It has large and plump grains, starch, The high content of tannin provides a great help to the unique flavor of sauce wine .

In the past, the wine brewed in rural areas was also strict and practical in the ingredients used.

But now , many businesses and small workshops have learned to be lazy. In order to reduce costs, they use moldy raw materials, or inferior potatoes, persimmons, honey, etc. as raw materials . Such wine will naturally taste bad. .

Moreover, the brewed wine also contains harmful substances such as methanol and fusel oil that exceed the standard, which not only affects the taste, but also affects the body of the drinker.

In the final analysis, it is the progress of the times and the substitutability of food, which has led to shortcuts in wine making.

Therefore, when choosing liquor, it is also very important to look for the raw materials. After all, the current market is complex. It is best to buy from regular channels and choose liquor made from grains such as sorghum, wheat and other grains.

is written at the end. As the times progress, there are always some disadvantages. After all, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Why did the wine in the past taste good, and why does the wine today not taste good? Do you understand the reason? When choosing liquor in the future, you must remember not only to look for the brewing process, but also to look for the raw materials, and to buy from regular channels.
