A wine friend asked this question: If a low-quality alcoholic wine has information about pure grain wine written on the packaging, how should we tell whether it belongs to alcoholic wine or pure grain wine?
Don’t rush to answer this question first. If an alcoholic wine really does this, we can directly call it: fake wine!
Of course, if an alcoholic wine really uses the raw material table of pure grain wine, we can also use some methods to distinguish the authenticity.
This is exactly the topic we are going to discuss today. In fact, after all, as long as a liquor has the following three characteristics, whether it is Moutai or Xinghua Village , it is alcoholic wine, so be careful!
① "Great ways" in the raw materials
Everyone must remember that the standard number of alcohol and wine is mainly GB/T20821 and GB/T20822. If you encounter it, you can also drink it, but if you can drink less, try to drink as little as possible!
If you cannot distinguish by executing the standard number, you can also observe the production location and manufacturer information to see if it belongs to the same place!
After reading the production information, you can also see the "level" of liquor. The premium, first and second levels are common in liquor. The quality of the liquor has also decreased in turn. Whether it is a daily drink or a treat, try to choose a higher level.
② " Dongzang Laojiu " which imitates famous wines,
Maotai Town and Xinghua Village are both important wine-producing holy places in China. There are some so-called Dongzang Laojiu. They like to sell the inferior wine they have in their hands under the names of these two places. The common method is to put the names of the two places on the outer packaging.
There are also real Dongzang old wines, but the origin is generally very special and requires more time and energy to brew, so the price will naturally not be very cheap.
③ Claim that this wine is "buried for many years"
As early as many years ago, some experts went out to refute rumors, repeatedly emphasizing that all liquors are not suitable for burying them in the soil. However, in order to make a lot of gimmicks, some inferior fake wines have started the trick of "buried old wine in the soil", and often choose to "cross famous brands", shamelessly saying that they are "old Moutai" or "Xinghua Village Old Wine", but in essence they are alcohol wine mixed with flavor and alcohol!
Of course, with the orderly implementation of the new national standard for liquor across the country, alcoholic wine has been redefined as "recently brewed liquor" and no longer belongs to the ranks of "liquid liquor". And those authentic pure grain wines have more opportunities to appear on the dining tables of ordinary people. Take the following two wines as an example. They are all classic pure grain wines from all over the country. They are delicious and not expensive, and have received rave reviews over the years.
Hantai Zhugong Liquor
This old-fashioned sauce liquor produced in Moutai Town, Kweichow. The winery building is located in the core production area of the local area. It shares the advantageous brewing environment with the national liquor Moutai . It has a fair price and a mellow taste. It is often taken by local wine lovers to drink and treat customers.
The wine-making raw material of this wine, red tassel sorghum, has the characteristics of high content of tannin and amylopectin , and is very suitable for brewing.
The method of brewing wine is the traditional 12987 Daqukunsha craft. It took a full year to successfully obtain the wine. After that, the pottery jar was aged for 6 years and then mixed with 10-year-old wine. The final white wine was slightly yellow and transparent in color, and the wine body was mature and steady.
Moreover, the brewer of this wine is the thirteenth generation successor of " Wang Mao ". Wang Zhengxian has a full experience in brewing for 40 years. The white wine he brews is affectionately praised by many wine friends as "Little Moutai".
When you pour out a cup, the grain fragrance comes to you, the hops are crystal clear and bright, and the wine line is smooth and slender. When you taste it, the sauce aroma is prominent, mellow and elegant, and it also has a bit of flower and fruit aroma and aged fragrance, which makes people feel endless aftertaste. It doesn’t feel irritating after drinking it, dry mouth and top.
However, although the brewing cost has been rising again and again, the price of this wine has not increased, and it has been insisting on pure grain and ancient brewing, so the quality of the wine is naturally greatly guaranteed.
Qinchuan Daqu
Speaking of famous wines in Shaanxi, most wine lovers will definitely rush to answer: Xifeng wine .
However, Shaanxi is not the only old-fashioned wine, such as this Qinchuan Daqu, which was built much earlier than Xifeng Winery!
However, this wine is like Xifeng Liquor. It is one of the few phoenix-flavored white wines in China, but its reputation is not as good as Xifeng Liquor. Even the name of this wine is only modified in 1966.
was once a good wine that was "popular" in Shaanxi. It was once drunk by local wine friends as food ration wine. However, later, under the fierce competition in the liquor market, it gradually declined.
However, this wine is still worth trying. It has a sweet taste in the mouth, with the elegant fragrance of the fragrant wine, and the elegant and rich white wine, with a very good taste experience.
