" Good wine, Guizhou produces good wine ". The reason why Guizhou can become a hometown of fine wine seems to have natural advantages. The four major cultures are superimposed on each other, providing a rare fertile ground for its development of the liquor industry.
So in its exquisite landscape, countless fine wines have been nurtured. In addition to the ten thousand-year-old Moutai, there are also a number of unique liquor brands.
But there is also a type of liquor among them. They were once glorious and were all good wines from Guizhou, but they did not keep up with the pace of development of the times and gradually declined, just like the beauty in the twilight of , becoming " past-air wine ".
Especially these three wines, they are all rare good wines, which is a pity.
Dongjiu
Speaking of Dongjiu, its experience is very sad. Once upon a time, a classic slogan of " does not drink Dongjiu and does not understand wine " made it put on the dining table for thousands of households.
As a representative of Chinese Dongxiang type liquor, its flavor is unique, the body color is like crystal, the entrance is mellow and rich, and the mouth is soft and sweet.
Its raw materials and processes are even more double-super : one is to add a variety of precious herbs and animal tonics to the wine body, and the other is the unique process of steaming with double mash. And its raw material formula and brewing process have been listed as confidential several times.
But later, many of the raw materials in its formula have been banned, and the flavor of "Lao Dongjiu" has also lost its soul.
When it was brilliant, it was called " Guizhou Twin Heroes " together with Moutai. But many years later, the "brothers" who once stood side by side have become industry giants, leaving its lonely figure alone to lament.
Mutai Houtao Wine
Mutai Houtao Wine can be said to be "famous". It was brewed by Moutai old factory manager Li Xingfa 's only female apprentice and one of the famous " Moutai Eight Immortals ", one of the famous " Moutai Eight Immortals ", Feng Xiaoning , led a team to brew.
Drinking friends who are familiar with the history of Moutai probably have heard of the past " off-site Moutai ". Feng Xiaoning is one of the core members of this project. Later, the project failed, proving that " has Maotai Town , and cannot make Moutai liquor ".
is the unique geographical environment of Maotai Town, which has created the unreplicable advantages of Moutai liquor. So when preparing to build Mutai Houdao Winery , Mr. Feng learned from his previous lessons and set the factory site in Maotai Town core production area .
This wine is selected from the raw materials for Maotai Town's specialty small red tassel sorghum . The content of this sorghum amylopectin is as high as 88% , which is more long, soft and sweet, and rich in grain flavor than the wine brewed by ordinary sorghum . In addition to following the process standards of Moutai liquor
This wine has added
, it should have a broader development space, and the trend of "advertising wine" in the 1990s was an excellent opportunity to become popular, but unfortunately it failed to seize it. Under the huge impact of the outside world, it can only curl up in Guizhou area .
Guiyang Daqu
Guiyang Daqu’s original "family foundation" is no less than Moutai. Its predecessor was the founding of New China, and it gathered the technical strength of 140 large and small brewing workshops in Guiyang area. It was established as Guiyang Joint Distillery, which was later renamed State-owned Guizhou Distillery.
was the strongest winery in Guizhou Province at that time, from the perspective of technical strength and geographical environment. On the one hand of Guiyang Daqu, it was a peak-like existence that won many heavyweight awards in China and province.
Its wine body is clear and transparent, with a fragrance like orchid, with a mellow and soft mouth, and a sweet and refreshing mouth.
It’s a pity that in the 1980s and 1990s, Sichuan’s strong-flavored liquor was more popular in the market than Guizhou’s strong-flavored liquor. In that turbulent era, it retreated steadily in the fierce competition and gradually became a “popular fried chicken” to an outdated “famous liquor”.
"The flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not happy for a thousand days." Ups and downs are the norm in life. I believe the same is true for these three liquors. They have created glory before, and maybe it's just an intermission now, and it's not a bad idea to go back to the peak. I wonder how many of them have you drunk?
