People often say that you get what you pay for, and things are more valuable when they are scarce!
But in fact, cheap is not necessarily bad, and scarce is not necessarily expensive. Charcoal fires in the snow, springs in the desert, popsicles in the dog days, and white wine in the liquor circle are the best proof!
Why can’t we say “you get what you pay for” when it comes to liquor? Don't worry, please read on.
We all know that liquor is brewed from grains. The brewing process is very difficult. If you don’t have decades of experience, don’t even think about brewing it. It’s easy to say, just like steamed buns. The flour is first added. (Grain) is prepared, then fermented by yeast (jiu koji), rolled with a rolling pin (stepping on the koji), and steamed in a steamer (distillation and wine extraction).
Therefore, the cost of brewing is actually only grain (flour), distiller's yeast (yeast), equipment (steamer), blended old wine (equivalent to minced meat), time, labor, warehousing, etc. Among them, grain cost is The bulk of the cost of winemaking:
Different flavor types of liquor have different grain costs. Let’s take the most expensive sauce-flavor liquor as an example. Its cost is only about 25 yuan (5 kilograms of grain per kilogram of wine, every kilogram of grain Calculated at 5 yuan), the grain cost of other flavored liquors will be even lower, only about 5-10 yuan.
Even if you add the costs of labor, equipment, warehousing, transportation, old wine, etc., the cost of each bottle of liquor will not exceed 100 yuan. As for why they are so expensive, you have to ask the winery. Storytelling and promotion cost.
Therefore, under the premise of the same raw materials, processes, equipment, and blending techniques, the advertised liquor is much more expensive than the non-advertised liquor. The saying in the liquor industry that you get what you pay for is not true. precise.
In summary, when you buy wine next time, don’t choose expensive ones. As long as it is brewed with grains and does not contain any additives. It doesn’t taste dry in the mouth and you don’t get drunk after drinking it. That’s just food. Good wine.
If you don’t know how to choose, I will recommend to you below, There are several delicious and inexpensive civilian Maotai-flavor liquors across the country, 100% Didi pure brew. Have you tried any of them?
