Why is liquor served in jars, and what are the benefits of jar liquor?

The jar of wine is a continuation of the ancient (pre-Yuan) method of wine storage. In ancient times, there was no distillation process for liquor, and the general degree was within 15 degrees. Due to the limitations of winemaking technology, ancient liquor had a higher methanol content.

The material of the jar is pottery, which is breathable, which is convenient for the penetration and overflow of low-boiling harmful substances such as methanol.

During the aging process of winemaking, the same principle is used for cork stoppers to facilitate ventilation.

Modern liquor uses distillation technology, and the distilled liquor is pure ethanol and does not contain low boiling point substances such as methanol, nor does it contain polyols, fusel, ester high boiling point substances. Therefore, the use of glass bottles, tight sealing is more conducive to quality protection. That is, it makes no sense to store modern liquor in jars.

It is best to store liquor in a pottery jar.

The pottery jar, that is, the clay container, can promote the aging of liquor! Because there are many pores around the container, the oxygen in the air can easily enter the pottery jar, which accelerates the oxidation reaction in the wine. Pottery jars contain a variety of metal oxides. Metal ions are dissolved in the liquor during the storage process, which has a promoting effect on the aging of liquor.

There is also leakage and volatilization in the process of storage of pottery jars. Usually, the leakage of the old pottery altar is 3%-5%, and the leakage of the new pottery altar is about 1%. Before using the new pottery jar, the distillery first filled it with water for a trial to check whether there was any leakage or other reasons, and constantly checked it during use, but the leakage of the old pottery jar could not be avoided.

This is determined by the material and production process of the pottery altar itself.

How to store liquor?

First, use the pottery jar to store the wine in a large jar after the professional winery has produced it, and seal the jar. This is very important, the mineral pairs in the ceramic jar can make the quality of the liquor better, and the more you put it, the more fragrant it is.

2. After putting it into a deep cellar storage jar and sealing it, choose a deep cellar for storage, preferably a cellar below 100 meters underground, where the environment of constant temperature, humidity and no light is most conducive to the natural aging of liquor.

3. Storage time: Generally, the storage time of wine is not less than three years, and only wine that has been stored for more than 20 years can be regarded as a real aging wine.

The use of stainless steel containers can store liquor for a short time, but it is not conducive to the respiration and metabolism of liquor, so it is not suitable for long-term storage.

Glass containers can be stored for a long time because they are very well sealed.

Containers made of ceramics are suitable for storing the sake, which helps to mellow the sake.

Generally, the jar for storing liquor is glass, or porcelain, most of the ones I have seen are glass, and the head of the glass will be better, because the glass he doesn't know glass, it has no taste, and then he is healthier, he won't let the taste of liquor um, well, so the glass jar is the best.

If you store liquor jars, you can choose ceramic jars is better, choose ceramic jars for liquor is the best choice, if sealed, then the taste of liquor will not change, and the taste of liquor will not run away, this is very important, so if you use jars for storage, you can choose ceramic jars.

The best jar is the ceramic jar, and the ceramics of our country are very famous.

Therefore, it is better to use a ceramic jar to store liquor.

It can ensure the original taste of the liquor, and it can make the liquor not deteriorate, which is relatively good.

The ceramic jar is the best to store liquor, please keep it at room temperature and ventilation, and it can be stored for a longer time.

The traditional storage (holding) wine containers in the liquor production process include wine jars, wine urns, wine seas, wine (wooden) boxes, wine baskets, etc. At present, the storage containers used in the brewing industry can be divided into four categories: ceramic containers, blood containers, metal containers, and cement pools.

Traditional liquor has the characteristics of being more and more mellow, and the 20-year-old storage liquor is comparable to **. However, if the collection is not good, it will make the liquor taste bad. There are several ways to prevent "running away from drinking":

Checking your wine collection and re-tightening the cap is the first thing you must do to prevent "running out". Many wines leave the factory with loose caps themselves, and the consequences of "running wine" after a few years can be imagined.

Put the practical wax in a metal container and warm it, and when the wax melts into a liquid, turn the bottle upside down and soak the cap directly in the container. The disadvantages of this practice are: if the wax temperature is too high, the plastic bottle cap is easy to deform; In addition, if your wine leaks very severely, the wine leaks as soon as the bottle is turned upside down, and the wax seal is not successful.

There are two types of storage containers for wine: stainless steel jars and pottery jars. It is best to use a jar for the container to hold the wine, the jar itself contains a variety of minerals, and it can maintain the aroma of the wine for a long time, which will make the wine more fragrant and mellow, and promote the aging of the wine. The best place to store it is underground, because the underground is an environment with little temperature change, and it basically maintains room temperature.

It is better to hold liquor in a fine porcelain jar of pottery.

The mouth of the jar should be able to have amphibolite, so that it is easy to seal.

The benevolent Tibetan liquor is generally sealed with porcelain jars or glass, so it is best to store white sprinkles with porcelain and glass.

The best jar for storing liquor is a porcelain jar.

Large glass bottles are generally used for home soaking, and manufacturers use ceramic jars for soaking wine.

Generally speaking, as long as the bottle is not leaky, it can be used to make wine, and only a sealed container can ensure that the alcohol will not volatilize, otherwise the wine will only become less and less flavorful.

Wine jars, glass, or ceramic, good sealing, soaking wine, but also according to the recipe with soaking, for example.

Method] Put Ganoderma lucidum ginseng wolfberry rock sugar into a clean container, pour in liquor and soak, seal the container, and soak for about 3 months.

At the same time, it is necessary to use clay jars or glassware to soak wine, and it is forbidden to soak in plastic and metal utensils, because plastic and metal wine will escape harmful substances due to the corrosive effect of wine. Moreover, glass and ceramics will not produce the above situation, and the degree of liquor is between 55 ° and 60 °

Hello, it is best to use a porcelain jar for soaking wine, so that the wine is better, it will not taste good, and it is also well sealed.

If you want to soak sake, you usually use glass jars or some clay jars.

This can prevent the volatilization of wine, and we can see that in the past, wine jars were used when filling wine.

It is best to use a glass jar with a little tightness, or a ceramic jar to soak the wine, which works very well.

Use glass or ceramic, not plastic.

It is good to use a kimchi jar for soaking wine.

I think if you want to make wine, it's better to have fun, or Nietzsche's wind.

Pottery wine jar first, people must be clear whether it is used for alcohol or storage, if it is used for alcohol, it is recommended to choose the wine jar, and for storage it is proposed to choose the wine jar, from the appearance of the design of the open or the specification of the diameter of the cylinder, the specification below the diameter of the wine jar.

Generally speaking, the material density of the clay wine jar should be small, and the whole process of wine storage can promote the maturity of old wine and the volatilization of toxic components in liquor; The relative density of ceramic wine jars is larger than that of clay pottery, and all the inside and outside have been glazed and fired at high temperatures, which can reduce the evaporation of wine. The firing temperature of clay pottery is mostly at 800 900 degrees, and the firing of porcelain is at 1380 degrees, and the precious metal elements in the soil have been removed after about 1000 degrees, and the wine is in the whole process of maturation, so the ceramic wine jar is not conducive to the volatilization of toxic components in the liquor and the aging of the liquor. In addition, the mineral elements contained in the clay wine jar are conducive to the aging of pure grain wine, so the safety factor of the clay wine jar is much better.

Therefore, if you want your liquor to mature faster, I recommend those who don't know what kind of wine jar to buy to store wine to choose clay wine jar.

It is somewhat inappropriate to use the word appropriate, and although alcohol is easy to volatile, volatilization requires a specific environment, so not all wine needs to be sealed with auxiliary materials, and it should be decided according to the type of wine, the style of the container, the storage environment, and the storage period.

And the sealing material of wine has also changed a lot after so many years of development. Taking the method of sealing wine in the early years of our country as an example, taking the mud wine as an example, the most used sealing mouth is "mud sealing", which is not so particular. Plug the easy mouth directly with a special lid, then paste the yellow mud on the outside, and then dry in the shade.

The yellow mud paste is at the sealing place, which can play a sealing role. In the early years, this method was used to seal containers, but the materials used to plug the mouth of the container were somewhat different, some used wood, porcelain, mud covers, etc., and even some liquor would use a kind of lid made of straw.

In modern times, there have been some changes in the method of sealing, some individual wineries can not get yellow mud, or use gypsum as the sealing material, first use ordinary materials to seal the mouth of the container, and then brush the outside of the container lid with a paste similar to paint, and then brush the paste on the paste, the thickness of the plaster will generally exceed 2 cm, and then dry in the shade. Because the gypsum has the property of absorbing moisture, and the container is sealed with a special lid, some moisture and moisture will be absorbed by the plaster mud seal, and the wine will taste better and better.

In addition, the way modern people seal wine is a little different from before, and now some wine uses rubber mats, plastics, etc. as sealing materials, and then hangs a layer of wax on the outside to achieve double insurance. But in fact, this storage method is not very useful, there is a saying about sealing wine in ancient times, but now this way of sealing wine with glass bottles, plastic lids, and wax seals has a very small gain on wine. But if it comes to sealing wine, I personally recommend using plaster, followed by yellow clay, and finally wax.

I think the first thing is to tighten the cap, and then wrap it with food cling film a few more times, or you can apply wax again, and then put it in the right ambient temperature, preferably underground.

Alcohol is the most volatile, and the container containing the wine can be wrapped with a rubber sealing ring or tape, which can seal the wine and prevent it from leaking.

Wax seals can be used, and the effect of wax seals is the best compared to paper seals and mud seals.

1. The traditional method of sealing the wine jar: use a piece of cloth or a piece of paper with good toughness, for example: cover the first layer of the jar with kraft paper, cover it with plastic wrap or plastic film, cover the mouth of the wine jar, cover the paper and plastic film beyond the neck of the jar, and then tie it tightly with a rope around the jar.

If it is for long-term storage, it is best to cover and strengthen the wine jar with thick mud, which can play a better role in reinforcement and sealing. The cellar wine jar can be covered with red silk cloth in the outermost layer of the jar, which is both beautiful and generous.

2. Modern method of sealing the wine jar: seal the lid with the sealing lid of the foamed plastic wine jar.

The jar wine is generally sealed with yellow mud or gypsum, and the method of opening the altar is similar, and you can pay attention to the strength of the hand. The following is an introduction to the opening method of the plaster sealing altar:

Prepare materials: hammer, screwdriver.

1. Place a screwdriver on the edge where the plaster is in contact with the altar body, and gently tap it to knock off the mud.

2. Aim the screwdriver at the mud crack that has just been opened, tap the mud block from the bottom to the top, and gently remove the loose mud block.

3. After knocking off half of the mud, tap from the side of the remaining mud blocks.

4. After the rest of the whole plaster is loosened, gently remove it.

5. Gently brush off the crushed mud on the surface with your hands and blow off the dust.

6. Unseal the lotus leaf and enjoy the wine.

The opening of the altar is generally opened by experienced people, and when the force is great, the wine jar will often be broken, and the strength is small, and the tired sweat is powerless. Shaoxing rice wine, most of it is jar wine, in the jar of wine below 3000ml, there is generally a special tool for opening, tear off the plastic film wrapped in the bottle mouth, and use the special tool to pull out the cork. If the wine is more than 3000ml, the opening notice will be indicated on the bottle cap.

If it is a larger jar of wine, such as a 10-pound pottery jar wine, you need to have skills. 10 catties of pottery altar wine is generally a gypsum cover, you need to borrow a firewood knife and iron tool from the top edge of the gypsum cover to split outward, do not split vertically down or inward. 10 pounds of pottery jar wine, the diameter of the wine jar is generally about 12 centimeters, do not knock within 10 centimeters, remove the edge of 2 3, you can remove.

Even if the plaster is removed, you still need to carefully unscrew the bamboo strips, and after carefully tearing off the bamboo shoot shells and lotus leaves on it, there may be a yellow clay bowl, but be careful not to let the clay bowl fall into the wine.

Just pat off the wine envelope. A straw insert is also good.

Wrap the lid around the jar with a damp towel, and after a while, the mud will soften and you can easily open it. ps: It is necessary to wait for 1-2 hours, and it is definitely not enough to wait for 10 minutes.

Wine jars need to be made of glass or ceramic, plastic or metal containers should not be used, and in addition, soaking wine must be paired with soaking wine according to the recipe, for example.

Medicinal wine formula (for reference only)] 20 grams of astragalus, angelica, papaya, eucommia, 250 grams of snow lotus, 18 grams of lovage, 25 grams of gourd, 10 grams of fragrant, 10 grams of cork, 25 grams of mulberry parasitism, 25 grams of codonopsis, 10 grams of Qin Gang, 10 grams of psoralen, 750 grams of rock sugar, Gu Yangkang, no added wine for soaking wine.

Imitation method of making dust] The above materials are coarsely minced, put into a container with liquor, sealed and soaked for 25 30 days, slag removed, ice brother tung sugar is added, stirred and dissolved, and filtered.

Moreover, the soaking of wine needs to use clay jars or glassware, plastic and metal utensils are prohibited for soaking, the degree of wine is between 55 ° and 60 °, and the soaking time is as long as possible, the time is too short, and it does not taste.
