html How much food does it take to make 1 jin of wine? Why can it be sold so expensive? The 68-year-old winemaker tells the truth
After drinking white wine for so many years, do you know how much food it takes to brew 1 kilogram of wine? The old saying goes that sauce wine is 5 kilograms of grain and 1 kilogram of wine. No wonder it can be sold so expensively, but how credible is this sentence?
After all, the prices of liquor on the market are different now, and sometimes they are also grain wine, but some are sold for thousands of yuan, while others are only sold for dozens of yuan. The editor was very curious, so he specifically asked a 68-year-old wine brewing master, Master Zhang, who has worked in the winery for more than 30 years and has rich experience in brewing.
According to Master Zhang's description, I realized that the reason why grain wine can be bought is so expensive is because of these three truths:
Raw materials
The most important thing in brewing grain wine is the raw materials. The main raw materials of liquor are sorghum , and sometimes it is supplemented by wheat, peas and other materials. What kind of raw materials are used to determine the liquor yield rate. The starch content is high, and the wine yield rate will be high, otherwise the other way around.
is like this sauce-flavored Sanjuntai collection wine . The raw material of this wine is the choice of red tassel sorghum with a high wine production rate. This sorghum is also produced locally. It not only has a rich starch content but also has a rich tannin content, and the wine production rate is very high.
Moreover, this sorghum skin is thin and large, which can withstand repeated steaming and cooking of the 12987 Daqu Kunsha process, and the water source is also very high-quality, which is why this high-grade liquor is created.
可 可 可
I don’t know if you know 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可 可
. For sauce-flavored liquor , Daqu is basically used, but this is also different. If the high-temperature Daqu wine produces a lower wine rate than the medium-temperature Daqu wine, it will be different if it is a light-flavored liquor.
brewing process
In fact, in summary, although the wine production rate of sauce-flavored liquor is low, it is definitely not as "5 kilograms of grain 1 kilogram of wine". Many people think it is a bit exaggerated. However, the above mentioned Sanjuntai treasure wine uses the 12987 Daqukunsha process. This process must use whole sorghum as raw material when brewing, and the process is complicated. It takes a one-year cycle, feeding twice, steaming 9 times, fermenting 8 times, and picking wine 7 times.
So during the brewing process, a lot of losses will be caused, which is inevitable. Therefore, there is another very important process, which is "pinch the head and remove the tail". "pinch the head" means that the wine that has just started to steam will be discarded during brewing, because the wine head is as high as 70 degrees, which is not only uncomfortable but also very exciting.
"Detail" means that the last wine end must be abandoned because its degree is the lowest, so the wine is not clear and the taste is not comfortable.
This means that for so long, only the middle-level wine can be drunk, and the alcohol production rate is not high. Therefore, for this wine, "5 kilograms of grain 1 kilogram of wine" is actually normal. Calculate that 20 kilograms of wine can only be brewed with 100 kilograms of grain. In this way, the cost of grain wine is indeed very high, so the high price is acceptable.
, this Sanjuntai collection wine , after brewing, it must be prepared with old wine. It is worth mentioning that this wine specially invited Master Fan Yinghua from the original Maotai Distillery to mix the 10-year-old wine, and then it will be placed in the wine cellar for 5 years.
Mr. Fan has worked in Moutai Distillery for more than 37 years. He is also a brewing expert and senior engineer at the former Moutai Distillery. He has won many honors. He is now a technical director, brewing technical expert and general consultant of Guokang Distillery.
So the wine that makes the wine is very mellow and mature. The bottle opens to make it a rich sauce aroma and the fragrance of grain. It is smooth and silky in the mouth, and it is not spicy or choking, and the aftertaste is sweet. Moreover, the unique thing about this wine is that the price of this wine is affordable, because this wine has its own winery, and I have always insisted on letting people who know wine drink old sauce wine, so the price is only about 100 yuan, which is very suitable for ordinary people.
I believe that after reading these, you will understand the reason why the price of liquor is expensive. What else do you think about this article "How much food is needed to brew 1 kilogram of wine?
