Nowadays, when it comes to what famous wines are in China, most people think of white wine. In fact, although my country's winemaking history is long, in a strict sense, the history of white wine is not very long. Just look at the information that can be found, the accurate records of white wine come from historical materials from the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty.
That is to say, there was no white wine in China before that. At that time, people often drank rice wine . The rice wine degree was not high at that time, so there were so many amazing people who could not get drunk for a thousand cups. Later, after the advent of distilled liquor, winemaking technology, Chinese people had white wine to drink, and white wine was not popular when it first appeared because people have not yet liked this kind of drink with a unique taste.
At that time, people basically used rice wine to drink, treat guests and give gifts by themselves, and even rice wine was used for large and important banquets. White wine was considered a inferior wine that could not be ranked in the elegant hall. Then why did fewer and fewer people drink rice wine that has been passed down for thousands of years later? Is it because its quality is behind? Actually, it is not. The main reasons why fewer and fewer people drink rice wine are mainly the following three points. You will understand after reading it.
Reason 1: The raw materials for brewing of rice wine are scarce
I originally thought that white wine would be pressed on the ground by rice wine and rubbed on the ground and could never get up, but the "food crisis" that later brought new opportunities for white wine.
In the case of shortage of food, rice wine that uses natural fermentation brewing methods obviously does not have the advantage, because the amount of grain consumed by this brewing method is too large, and the food is not enough for ordinary people to eat on their own, so the demand for rice wine will naturally be small. However, no matter how much wine is, people's life needs, so at this time, liquor, which consumes less food, quickly rose and quickly occupied the Chinese wine market.
Reason 2: The market position of liquor is gradually stabilized
With the gradual innovation of the brewing process, liquor has also quickly occupied the Chinese wine market with its own advantages of low grain use and high wine production rate. Even if China's "food crisis" has been resolved later, people still have enough grain to brew rice wine, but people who are used to drinking strong-tasting liquor are obviously not interested in the milder taste of rice wine, because they always feel that they are not satisfied with drinking it.
And people also found that liquor with lower brewing costs is more suitable for wedding banquets, birthday banquets, school banquets, promotion banquets and other occasions with high alcohol use. Therefore, under the strong competitiveness of liquor, the rice wine seems a bit "weak" and is gradually forced to withdraw from the stage of important drinks.
Reason 3: The winery does not pay attention to the publicity of rice wine
There is an old Chinese saying: "Wine is not afraid of deep alleys." This sentence may have made sense in the past, but it is obviously untenable today with the development of technology. Nowadays, China's wine market has a wide variety of categories, and there are thousands of brands of liquor alone. In addition, beer, red wine, various foreign wines, etc. If rice wine wants to stand out among so many categories of wine, it is not only to create its own quality and taste, but also to promote its products well, so that there is a chance for people to see this wine.
But it is obvious that the winery of rice wine did not realize this and still did what it was and insisted on the old marketing method, so it is understandable that rice wine is difficult to make it stand out.
To sum up, the success and failure of a wine are caused by various factors. No matter what the reason is, it cannot completely mean that this wine is not good, and the same is true for rice wine. Moreover, rice wine is a wine made of 100% pure grain, so the quality is still safe.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the current complex vermicelli market. With the proliferation of alcohol blended wine, the difficulty coefficient of screening out pure grain liquor has increased a lot. , so the author still wants to say something long-winded: When choosing liquor, you must keep your eyes open and don’t be deceived. If you really don’t know how to choose pure grain wine, please refer to the following two well-known high-quality pure grain wines.
