Introduction: A wine in China fell and was once known as the number one wine in Liaoning. Why don’t even drink locals now? There is a beautiful small city in Fengcheng, Liaoning Province. It was once an important town of the Eight Banners of the Manchus. There is a beautiful Fenghuang Mountain 6 miles southeast of Fengcheng.

There is a winery at the foot of the mountain, which uses Fenghuang Mountain Spring Water and Northeast high-quality sorghum to make wine. The Fengcheng Laojiao , which has been produced in the 1980s, is called "Liaoning's No. 1 Wine" .

Fengcheng Laojiao has a long history and was founded in 1856. Its brewing process was derived from the Manchu traditional shochu technology. The earliest one to make was Northeast shochu stew wine, which enjoys a certain local reputation. What made it prosperous for a while was bran sauce-flavored wine.

Fengcheng Laojiao Northern bran gu sauce wine model

bran gu sauce aroma has a short history. The bran gu process was introduced to China from Japan in 1940. In 1981, Guiyang Winery and scientific research institutions jointly developed the bran gu sauce aroma technology. After

, this process was developed and strengthened by wineries in the north. Because the bran gu sauce wine is fermented in circulation, wine can be produced all year round, and the brewing time is also short. Qianpai bran gu sauce wine is generally 21 days.

In the north, due to the cold weather, the fermentation time in winter is as long as 30 days. This special natural environment makes the northern bran gu sauce wine more soft and mellow. This is the advantage of the development of bran gu sauce wine in the north, and Fengcheng Laojiao is the representative of the aroma of bran gu sauce in the north.

Interestingly, because the strong-flavored liquor is very dependent on Laojiao, and the sauce-flavored liquor does not rely on Laojiao, so the word Laojiao is exclusively for the strong-flavored liquor. Fengcheng Laojiao should be the only one in the country called " Laojiao" but it is a sauce-flavored liquor.

Speaking of which, the bran gu process is an sand crushing process . Due to the high wine production rate and short fermentation cycle, this allows Fengcheng Laojiao, which adopts this brewing method, to have high price quality and gradually occupy the Northeast market, and became famous in the 1990s.

At that time, everyone in the Northeast region knew about it. This wine was the one who invited guests to eat and drink, and it was even exported to Southeast Asia, South Korea, Japan and other countries. During this period, the development of Fengcheng Laojiao was smooth.

is the result of the success and the demand for high-end banquets

so-called "Success and the success and the failure of the success and the failure of the bran is the lower-end market". After the millennium, with the increase in people's income and the demand for high-end banquets became stronger, new requirements for liquor, and its social attributes were more prominent.

At that time, famous liquors rose in price and occupied the high-end market. Fengcheng Laojiao could only be anxious. Due to the fact that the upper limit of bran gu sauce liquor was not high, it was very difficult to develop high-end products, and missed the dividend period in vain. The promotion after

did not keep up, which made the reputation accumulated by Fengcheng Laojiao gradually seized by other wines. To this day, even the name of local famous wines is not guaranteed. It can be said that has completely fallen into .

I once saw a message like this under a post introducing Fengcheng Laojiao: Now even Fengcheng people don’t drink Fengcheng Laojiao. Why is this?

The most important reason why Fengcheng Laojiao fell is the limitation of its bran gu sauce aroma technology. Bran gu sauce wine is very different from Daqu sauce wine. Although bran gu sauce wine is mellow, it is not delicate enough, and the sauce aroma is weak. Moreover, the flavor will be worse after storage for a few years and cannot be preserved for a long time.

Looking at the current sauce liquor market, the high-end sauce liquor sold well is all big Qukunsha technology, but the price of hundreds or thousands of yuan is also prohibitive. So this is also the reason why locals don’t drink it!

has a Mutai Hondao wine produced from Maotai Town . It uses the authentic Daqukunsha technology, but the price is very affordable. In recent years, it has gradually emerged in the sauce wine circle and has won the love of a lot of sauce wine lovers. Drinkers who have drunk it say that fortunately this wine is not a big brand, and the price of a big brand wine is at least doubled.

good wine is produced in Maotai Town, Guizhou Province. The raw materials used are the same as Maotai. They are sorghum for sorghum, a local sour in Guizhou called "Little Red Grain" .

Because it contains tannin , this sorghum tastes very astringent, but it is an indispensable substance for brewing high-quality sauce wine, which can produce the unique aroma of sauce wine.

uses the 12987 Daqu Kunsha process in the process, "Qu is the bone of wine" . Daqu uses wheat as the raw material and has the lowest wine yield, but the wine brewed has the most fragrant and mellow and full, which is incomparable to bran qu.

Kunsha means that sorghum with a crushing rate of only 20% is used as raw material. Compared with the 30-day fermentation cycle of crushed sand, the fermentation cycle of the Kunsha process needs to go through a full 1 years.

Daqukunsha wine has very obvious advantages, good taste, coordinated fragrance, rich levels, but the disadvantage is that it is labor-consuming and time-consuming, and the raw materials are high, so 5 kilograms of sorghum can produce 1 kilogram of wine. After

, it will also be stored in 5 years of to make the wine fully mature and have a more mellow taste. Finally, it is blended by the national -level bartender Feng Xiaoning , so that the fragrance and taste of each bottle of wine can be unified.

Friends who like sauce wine can try it. After all, it is Daqukunsa Sauce Wine , which tastes much better than bran qukun sauce wine.

, that’s all for today’s content. Do you like drinking sauce wine? You will choose bran gu sauce wine. Or Daqukunsha Sauce Wine?
