The implementation of the new national standard for liquor has been in progress for some time. Anyone who cares about this aspect knows that the implementation of the new national standard is not just a simple name change, but has a great impact on the entire liquor industry and consumers. With the introduction of the new national standard, the liquor industry has also undergone a major reshuffle, with a new definition of liquor:
The liquor brewing process has been clarified. Except for solid-state liquor, other liquid liquors and solid-liquid liquors are not allowed to be used. Non-grain edible alcohol and food additives.
According to the "National Standard for Maotai-flavor Baijiu", it is clearly stated: "Maotai-flavor liquor shall not add edible alcohol and aroma, taste and color substances produced by non-liquor fermentation, and must contain sorghum, wheat and water. As raw materials, it is made by traditional solid-state fermentation to ensure the quality of Maotai-flavor liquor. "
This provides national standard quality requirements for the " pure grain solid-state fermentation " of Maotai-flavor liquor.
So how to judge whether it is a good Chunliang Maotai-flavor wine?
1. Implementation standards
First of all, refer to the national implementation standards behind the wine bottles. The implementation standards for authentic Chunliang Maotai-flavor wine are: GB/T26760-2011, which was officially released by the National Standards Committee and will be officially implemented on December 1, 2011. , as the industry standard, the pure grain wine that meets the standard of this solid-state fermentation method is pure grain wine.
2. Smell the aroma
Pour the Maotai-flavor wine into a large-mouthed container (such as a wine divider), shake it and smell the aroma;
Or drop the wine on the palm of your hand, rub it to heat and smell the aroma. The aroma of good pure grain sauce wine enters the nasal cavity like the fragrance of flowers, which is elegant, delicate and refreshing.
3. Pull the string
A good pure grain sauce wine has a moist and thick body, and the wine molecules are tight and long. Hold the wine bottle slowly and hold it upside down, then gradually pull it up. The wine string will be like a silk thread hanging continuously, falling but not falling apart.
The function of the wine string is to fully combine the oxygen of the liquor with the oxygen in the air, making the aroma of the liquor richer and the taste softer, achieving the purpose of "sobering up".
Not all liquors can pull out the "wine line", it must be grain wine that has been stored in the cellar for many years.
4. Flower viewing
Pour the good wine into the cup. The hops are as fine as millet , even and full, very attractive.
Pour the wine into a wine glass and produce larger and more hops that disappear slowly, the better the quality of the wine. The slower the hops disappear, the more mellow the wine will be. It will be stored for a long time and taste mellow when you drink it, with a strong sauce aroma.
5. Color
Judging from the color and appearance, the body of Maotai-flavor liquor should be slightly yellow or colorless and transparent, clear and translucent, with no suspended matter and no precipitation.
Compared with alcoholic wine, good pure grain Maotai-flavor wine has a clear and crystal-clear body, a slightly yellow color, and no trace of turbidity.
6. Feelings after drinking
Generally speaking, if you drink half a catty of alcohol, if you drink 4 taels, you will have a splitting headache, dizzy, lie down and sleep until you wake up the next day, and still feel dizzy. , the throat is thirsty, then this is basically a wine blended with alcohol. After drinking pure grain wine, you will not get drunk, and you will be able to work normally the next day after waking up without feeling any discomfort.
The last thing I want to tell you is that high-quality pure grain sauce wine retains a good aroma in an empty cup, and the aroma of the wine is harmonious and does not dissipate. It is also an important basis for judging pure grain wine in our daily lives. In addition, we can use fire to volatilize, pour a glass of wine, and burn it with fire. When the alcoholic wine burns, the alcohol will evaporate, leaving water. When you take a sip, it will be tasteless. Pure grain wine will not, it will be burned directly to dryness, and will always evaporate with a strong aroma.
