Are the cheap Red Star Erguotou and Niulanshan Erguotou really blended liquor?

First of all, the subject used the word "cheap" to describe the second pot head question at the beginning, which was suspected of misleading consumers with preconceived ideas. No matter what kind of two-pot head, there are high-end products on the market that sell hundreds of bottles. As for the ingredient labeled as a two-pot head brewed with edible alcohol and food flavors, as long as the quality is guaranteed, it can also be drunk.

Nowadays, some consumers seem to talk about "blending" as if they were talking about a tiger's color change, thinking that blended wine is not good. In fact, everyone misunderstood, whether it is a wine made from pure grains, or a wine made of artificially purified edible alcohol and edible flavors without raw materialsBlending is an indispensable process, and blending is regarded as the most profound technology in the brewing process in our industry, and it can even be said that without blending, there would be no comfortable and mellow products with different styles in various wineries.

At present, almost all famous liquors in China still maintain the traditional "old five retort method" to make wine, generally the grain is sealed and fermented, and the liquor is distilled from the retort, and many processes are all manual operations. On the contrary, the vast majority of foreign famous liquors, such as Chivas Regal, Hennessy, whiskey, vodka, etc., are blended with edible alcohol after purifying grain for environmental protection and cost saving. It should be said that the state allows and researches products brewed with edible alcohol, which is professionally called liquid brewing, which is healthy and safe, and relatively environmentally friendly and hygienic.

In short, no matter what method is used to brew the wine, blending is an indispensable process, and even if it is pure grain wine, if the blending effort is not at home, not only will the taste be bad, but it will also cause headaches when drinking. The reason is that the ester components in the liquor are not well balanced, and in this regard, the problem of exposure of some low-end liquors is more obvious. Because most of the aromatic substances in the wine are esters, in order to make the flavor of the wine stand out, more esters are added and the balance and coordination of acids are ignored, and this kind of wine will have a dry mouth after drinking.

The 13 pieces of a bottle of Hongxing Erguotou at 52 degrees, the product standard number is solid-state fermented, and the same price of Niulanshan is blended, and the solid-state wine content is only one-quarter.

The cost of blending liquor is very low, the profit is high, the quality of the liquor is poor, the production cost of traditional craft liquor is high, the profit is low, and the quality of the liquor is good.

The expensive Niulanshan is also blended. There are so many pots that produce so much wine from more than ten years to a hundred years.

If it is a very cheap two-pot head, it is basically blended out, and the authentic Red Star and Niulanshan Erguotou ** are not cheap.

This is on the liquor trademark, and there is a liquor standard number behind it, and you can know whether it is blended by looking at the standard number.

Most of the liquor on the market for a few dollars is made of alcohol, flavor and water.

Broadly speaking, all the wines on the market are blended wines, but the ingredients used are different.

Red Star is not, Niulanshan is blended! So, don't buy Niulanshan's liquor at all!

Although he said that he was blended with alcohol, it is actually acceptable for such a drunkenness, after all, he is still brewed from grain, but with a different process, and we all know that for this kind of Red Star Erguotou and Niulanshan Erguotou, in fact, their reputation is relatively large

This shouldn't be blended liquor, but it's really super bad and uncomfortable to drink.

It is indeed a blended liquor. Basically, this type is sold on the market.

At that time, I definitely did the test.

The state still has standards for blending wine. Is production permitted?

I think it's still possible, otherwise how can you make high profits?

I can't say for sure, you can go and see the production batch number behind him.

Niulanshan Erguotou is a blended wine.

The standard adopted by Niulanshan is GB T20822-2007 solid-liquid production, that is to say, it is made of sorghum fermented first, after a high degree of distillation to obtain edible alcohol, and then blended with the base wine obtained by other grain fermentation, and then added some spices, etc., it is not considered grain wine, nor is it a complete alcoholic wine.

Authenticity identification method.

1. Look at the label.

Niulanshan wine, the back of the label on the wine bottle (that is, the side in contact with the bottle) has a natural and irregular horizontal pattern formed by machine processing, while the horizontal pattern on the back of the counterfeit "Niulanshan" label is printed on it, which is very regular.

2. Look at the bottle cap.

The "bull's head" printed on the cap of the genuine bottle is glowing under ultraviolet light, while the "bull's head" on the cap of the fake wine bottle is dull.

3. Fire method.

From the top of the lid, there is a pattern of horns burned with a lighter for 5 seconds, the pattern will gradually disappear, and after 3 seconds of cooling, the pattern will return to normal.

Niulanshan Erguotou is a fragrant taste, and the aging series is a strong aromatic taste. You can look at the packaging of Niulanshan wine, if you say that there is absolutely no word Erguotou on the aging packaging, Erguotou is a fragrant product, not a taste, and the two are not a fragrance type. Niulanshan is just a liquor trademark, and it can be used in that liquor.

1. When the Jingshi winemaker steames the wine, go to the first pot of "wine head", discard the third pot of "wine tail", "pinch the head and remove the tail to take the middle section", and only take the second pot of expensive wine. Niulanshan Erguotou, which has been passed down from generation to generation, was awarded the "National Erguotou Origin Certification" on September 4, 2002.

2. Erguotou is the name of the liquor store in Shijiazhuang for good wine, which refers to the first retort work, the first wine that flows out after the first change of cold water in the Tianguo. In 1948, it was produced by Shijiazhuang Lu Distillery of North China Liquor Monopoly Company, and Erguotou was used as the name of the liquor.

It was put on the market in August. In November 1953, the trademark was transferred to Beijing Dongjiao Brewery, and on January 13, 1954, the change procedures were completed and the name of the factory was changed to the state-owned Beijing Brewery (the predecessor of Red Star).

4. As the name of the wine, Beijing is the birthplace of Erguotou rather than the birthplace. It is an indisputable fact that Beijing Erguotou Red Star was the first to be created. The latecomers of Niulanshan are on top, and the Red Star Pure Niulanshan wine is low and cheap, and both have their own merits.

Niulanshan Aging is a strong aroma type liquor and Wuliangye is a flavor type. The strong aroma liquor cannot be called a second pot head. You can look at the packaging of Niulanshan wine, if you say that there is absolutely no word Erguotou on the aging packaging, Erguotou is a fragrant product, not a taste, and the two are not a fragrance type.

Niulanshan is just a liquor trademark, and it can be used in that liquor.

Red Star two annihilation grinding pot head.

The wine is blended with alcohol, which is not true, and the red star two pot head is made of high-quality red sorghum.

Barley, peas, and purified water are used as raw materials, steamed and boiled.

Hongxing Erguotou is made of high-quality red sorghum, barley, peas, and pure water as raw materials, steamed and burned, distilled by the old five retort process, pinched and tailed to intercept the middle section, and stored in the cellar for many years. The quality of the wine is clear and transparent, the smell is fragrant, mellow and sweet, the fragrance is pure, and the aftertaste is long.

In 2012, Red Star Group launched the China Liquor Circulation Association and China Brand Strategy.

The 4th China Liquor Brand Value of Huazhu Cup jointly organized by the Research Institute.

In the evaluation activity, the brand value exceeded 100 million yuan, ranking among the top 20 liquors in China and the first place in the second pot head class of dispersion liquor.

Everyone has a shining red star in their hearts, Niulanshan and Red Star, if you have to compare, you still choose Red Star Erguotou.

As Beijing wine, the imperial capital's relics, these two brands can actually be combined into one now, and objectively there is not much difference. But after all, the current era is the era of brands, and it needs to be inclusive and integrate resources, including the Beijing Erguotou. The two-pot head preparation method has been passed down in one line, which is the so-called pinching the head and removing the tail, and taking the two-pot wine in the middle, but this is limited to the traditional solid-state brewing method.

Where the second pot head, the fragrance must be its absolute standard, drinking the second pot head is often not to drink its degree, but the sweetness of the fragrance, the fragrance of the second pot head is too special, in all the liquor, this wine aroma and taste is extremely prominent, even if you are not very good at drinking, you can also try it out in one bite of many liquors. Erguotou is not only Beijing wine, but also a pure and bright color of the liquor world on the North China Plain!

Time has come to now, in daily life, the most common is a small bottle, or a small two-pot head in travel size, 100ml, which is the most common two-pot head for outsiders, but not all two-pot heads are produced in Beijing, such as Hongxing Erguotou has a production base in Anhui.

Without further ado, back to the topic, Niulanshan or Red Star, which is better in the eyes of the public?

The red star blue bottle does not say, the second pot head is fifty-six degrees, in fact, the entrance is still very easy, and take a sip on an empty stomach, there is a very obvious fragrance and sweetness, and clean, mellow and soft, although it can not reach the level of a first-line throat, but it will not let you go up in a short time, and the fly in the ointment will be obviously dry after drinking a small bottle. But in comparison, it is much better than the Niulanshan Erguotou, which is called "Niu Er", and the Niu Er small bottle has a obviously strong alcohol taste, the fragrance is too strong, and the taste of the koji is not well harmonized, but Niu Er is very honest and follows the brewing rules, and some Niu Er trademarks are directly marked with liquid brewing, while Red Star is brewed according to the production standard or solid method, but not all liquid French liquor is poor.

At present, in the liquor market, it is difficult to find a pure grain liquor, not only because of the cost and production cycle. Red Star and Niulanshan, although they do not belong to high-end liquor, but they also eat history and culture, Red Star, shiny, choose one of the two, I choose Red Star.

In my personal experience, the biggest difference between Red Star Erguotou and Niulanshan Erguotou is that the wine aroma of Red Star Erguotou is relatively strong. And it's also delicious.

Personally, I feel that there is no good drink for one family, only depends on personal preference. These two brands are good.

I think the Red Star Erguotou is more delicious, because the Red Star Erguotou tastes better and more authentic.

Niulanshan Erguotou is a blended wine.

The standard adopted by Niulanshan is GB T20822-2007 solid-liquid production, that is to say, it is made of sorghum fermented first, after a high degree of distillation to obtain edible alcohol, and then blended with the base wine obtained by other grain fermentation, and then added some spices, etc., it is not considered grain wine, nor is it a complete alcoholic wine.

Introduction to Niulanshan wine.

Niulanshan two pot heads, two pot heads. As a representative of Beijing wine, Erguotou has a history of more than 800 years. When the Jingshi winemaker steames the wine, he goes to the first pot of "wine head", discards the third pot of "wine tail", "pinches the head and removes the tail to take the middle section", and only takes the second pot of expensive wine.

Niulanshan Erguotou, which has been passed down from generation to generation, was awarded the "National Erguotou Origin Certification" on September 4, 2002.

Niulanshan liquor, selected high-quality sorghum and wheat, etc., with peas, barley and other large koji as the fermentation agent, pure grain brewing green nature. From the crushing of raw materials to the filling of finished liquor, it has gone through more than 10 key processes such as gelatinization, fermentation and distillation, and is carefully brewed by traditional technology. Represented by the fragrant "Niulanshan" brand, there are more than 110 kinds of products in four series.

Niulanshan wine, produced at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, on the bank of Chaobai River, contains the spirit of heaven and earth. Niulanshan Erguotou National Origin Certification, which is the authentic source of Erguotou, has an authentic taste that cannot be replicated. Adhering to the essence of the century-old Chinese time-honored brand craftsmanship, "pinching the head and removing the tail to intercept the interruption", but also inheriting the spirit of the "century-old wine cellar" of Niulanshan, brewing the peerless wine aroma.

As one of the most down-to-earth liquors, Erguotou is widely popular in many places in China. There are many brands in Erguotou, among which the highest voice is Red Star and Niulanshan. Therefore, who is the same second pot head, "Red Star" and "Niulanshan", who is more authentic?

The product lines of these two wines are very long, with a dozen yuan at the low end and thousands of yuan at the high end.

Although these two brands are authentic Beijing Erguotou, there is still a sequence in time. Founded in 1949, Red Star Distillery is the first state-owned distillery in China, and Niulanshan was established in 1952 after producing 2-3 years later than Red Star. Therefore, historically, the Red Star Erguotou is more rooted and seedlings are red, and the Red Star Erguotou also appeared as a state banquet wine after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so it can be regarded as the grandmaster of the Erguotou.

In terms of taste, Red Star is a fragrant type, the taste is refreshing and pure, particularly strong, and people can taste the taste of liquor in one bite, although it is spicy but not too much to drink. It is suitable for the drinking taste of northerners. The taste of Niulanshan Erguotou will be softer, especially suitable for the taste of contemporary people, for Beijing locals, they generally prefer to drink the traditional Erguotou of Hongxing.

But for drinking friends everywhere, everyone prefers to drink Niulanshan.

Hongxing Erguotou is brewed by the traditional solid-state method, while Niulanshan is brewed by solid-state method and liquid method, Niulanshan is divided into two kinds, the first is the traditional solid-state pure grain wine, and the second is the new process liquor blended with edible alcohol + spices + pure grain wine, which is what we often call "alcohol blended wine". Therefore, it is rare to see the words "Erguotou" on today's Niulanshan wine bottles. However, Niulanshan has launched many series of wines, attracting many young wine lovers.

In terms of taste, the red star second pot head is also more authentic.

Red Star Erguotou is a product of the Beijing Distillery and was more popular in the 80s. The Niulanshan Erguotou is produced by Shunyi Niulanshan Distillery. The wine culture is broad and profound, and it depends on your taste.

If you like the mellow and sweet, pure fragrance of the two pot head can choose Red Star, and if you want a soft and long, sweet aftertaste, choose Niulanshan. What suits you is the best "two-pot head".
