Recently, I participated in the wine party and I always heard some wine friends complain, "There is no pure grain wine at all, it is all alcohol mixed with alcohol!"
The reason why everyone has this view is not only because the current situation of the "silt and sand" in the liquor market, but also because the wineries in their hometown can no longer see the thick smoke.
I vaguely remember that when I was young, the big chimney of the brewery in my hometown was filled with thick smoke every day, and the air was always filled with the smell of wine lees, which was intoxicating when it smelled. Now, wineries of all sizes were no longer smoking! However, if the winery does not smoke or smell the aroma of wine, does it really mean that the winery produces all alcoholic wine?
In fact, this is not the case. Everyone always stubbornly believes that wineries use coal as production fuel, so when brewing wine, they will definitely smoke and smell the scent of wine tank . However, everyone has ignored the progress of the times and has only a little understanding of the production process of liquor.
In order to understand the specific reasons, the author specifically asked a senior winemaker and realized that the winery does not smoke mainly caused by three reasons. Next, let’s learn about it one by one.
Reason 1: Environmentally friendly energy upgrade
As we all know, in the past, winemaking was basically made with traditional coal, and the combustion of coal would produce a large amount of thick smoke, which not only cost very high, but also polluted the air.
Now, with the repeated introduction of environmental protection policies, the country has launched many new fuel equipment, which has greatly improved the fuel use during liquor production.
Therefore, most wineries responded to the national call and slowly eliminated heavily polluted coal fuel, and switched to some natural gas and clean energy. Thick smoke is naturally rare, and some wineries even have no chimneys!
Reason 2: Recycling of wine tanks
Before, the handling of wine lees was indeed a major problem in the liquor industry, because most wineries had no other channels to utilize, so they could only pile the wine tanks in the factory, and then the nearby farmers pulled them away to make feed. Because of this, wine tanks were very common at that time, and naturally they could smell the strong aroma of wine tanks.
But now it is different. Due to the progress of the times and the continuous deepening of the concept of sustainable development, wineries have begun to use wine tanks to produce biogas . It can not only be directly burned for cooking, heating, lighting and gas welding, but also ensure the long-term development of the enterprise and respond to national environmental protection standards.
So, nowadays, you can’t see the smoke from the winery or smell the fragrance of wine lees. In fact, it is a proof of the progress of social science and technology and the enhancement of human environmental awareness.
Reason 3: production cycle different
Even pure grain wines have different fragrances, and the brewing process and production cycle of different fragrances of white wines are also different.
When brewing wine, every link has strict time, temperature, humidity and other requirements. Moreover, pure grain wine needs to be fermented naturally and must wait until the temperature is appropriate before steaming the wine. Therefore, even wineries that are backward in development and are still using coal fuel cannot steam grain every day.
And other words, the smoke emitted when steaming grain and wine is also white smoke of water vapor, not thick smoke, so it will dissipate in a short while, making it difficult for outsiders to see it.
So, now we can no longer look at the current wine companies from the perspective of the past. If a winery is brewing, smoke and sewage flow every day, and even the most basic environmental protection cannot meet the requirements, how can you believe that the quality of the liquor they brew is guaranteed?
In recent years, the liquor market has changed, and a large number of emerging liquors have poured into the market. When buying wine, it is best to choose more old wineries. Not only are the prices affordable, but they also have technology and reputation, so they are more at ease to drink. For example, the following two wines are all pure grain wines, and they are delicious and affordable. You can try it with confidence.
The first type: Hantai Zhu Gong Liquor
