Tasting of some famous wines

Every wine has a history.

We use the sensory organs (sight, smell, taste, touch) to evaluate the quality of wine, distinguish between good and bad, divide grades, and judge the style characteristics of wine, which is called tasting, which is customarily called wine evaluation, also known as tasting, sensory examination, sensory tasting, etc. To determine the superior, inferior and inferior quality of liquor, it is not enough to formulate indicators based on the results of physical and chemical analysis. Until now, there has been no instrument that can comprehensively and accurately judge the fragrance, and physical and chemical testing cannot replace sensory evaluation.

Wine is a kind of taste products, whether their color, aroma and taste are loved by people, or by the people of a certain country or region, and loved by the nation, must be evaluated and identified by people'......s feelings

Tasting is a science and a traditional skill that has been passed down from ancient times. According to the Lao Yan record of "Shishuo Xinyu Shujie", "Huan Gong (Huan Wen) has a master book to make good wine, and there is a wine order to taste first, the good one is called 'Qingzhou Engaged', and the evil one is called 'Plain Postal Supervisor'." In the "History of Wine" in the Ming Dynasty, Hu Guangdai has provided a more systematic terminology for the "aroma, color and taste" of "wine".

It can be seen that the aroma of wine and its subtle taste differences, from ancient times to the present, are identified by sensory identification method, which still has its obvious superiority. No physical and chemical identification can be replaced. The wine is good and the wine is bad, and the "taste" is the most important.

When evaluating wine scores, "taste" generally accounts for 50 of the total score. Su Dongpo believes that judging the quality of wine "is also weighed by the tongue." "Indeed, he is a connoisseur ...... reasonable

1) A glass of wine tasting: also known as direct tasting.

When evaluating wine, the method of secret evaluation (not disclosing the name of the wine, etc.) is used, and the reviewer tastes the wine first, and then comments, which can be evaluated after tasting one wine sample, or can be repeated after tasting several wine samples, and then commented one by one.

2) Two-cup tasting method: also known as contrastive tasting method.

In the case of a secret evaluation, the evaluator tastes two samples at a time, and then compares and evaluates the differences in the style and flavor of the two sprinklings, as well as the characteristics of their respective styles.

3) Three-cup tasting method: also known as triangular tasting method.

When evaluating wine, the method of secret evaluation is adopted, the wine evaluator tastes three wine samples at a time, two of which are the same wine, and the taster should taste which two glasses are the same wine, what are the differences between the two wines in terms of flavor and style, and comment on the style and style of each relative. In addition to the above methods, there is also the olfactory tasting method, which is based on the smell of wine; The blending method is a method of mixing water and beverages into wines that are not easy to distinguish in style and flavor, diluting them, and then evaluating them. There are many ways to evaluate wines, and different wines adopt different tasting methods, with the aim of better tasting and describing the flavor style of wines in the early years.

In addition, there are exponential requirements for the temperature, humidity, noise, illumination, and reflectivity of the wine evaluation room. There is also an optimal tasting temperature for all kinds of wines; The wine samples of the same type of wine are also evaluated in the order of low and then high in terms of alcohol content, light and then strong aroma, dry and sweet taste, and light and dark in color.

For the evaluation and appraisal of beverage wine, the people of our country are accustomed to calling it wine evaluation.

Wine evaluation is both a technique and an art. It is said that it is a technology because China, like all countries in the world, must use two methods of physical and chemical identification and sensory identification to evaluate various beverage wines; It is said that it is an art because the style formed by the color, aroma, taste and body of different wines gives people different feelings and enjoyment, so that people "know the taste and drink". In addition, wine requires life to be freely, wildly, and artistically expressed on specific people, and the artistic feeling brought about by different levels of artistic cultivation is even more diverse and mysterious.

Of course, only those who can appreciate this mystery can talk about wine evaluation. If he smells the wine and retreats, it can only be said that God has not given him this blessing. "Hanshu Food and Goods Journal" called wine "the beauty of the sky", and those who are blessed are also blessed, and those who cannot enjoy this blessing will naturally be blessed.

However, even if they are blessed people, they do not choose their fragrance, do not distinguish their ambiguity, do not think about their products, do not explore their interests, do not refuse to come, only care about cattle drinking, sweet potato dried seed wine is also drunk, medicinal alcohol mixed with white water also quenches hunger, and it seems to be a kind of sadness to drink the feeling of art and taste.

Su Shi said in "After the Biography of Shudong Fuzi": "There is no one in the world who can't drink, and there is no one who gives it." This is an assessment of his own drinking, and he said that "there is no one who gives the best drink in the world", which means that he likes wine Liang Oak program, not only does not drink much, but is so enthusiastic, of course, it is the infatuation of wine culture, including tasting.

Fan Chengda, a poet in the Song Dynasty, also said: "The rest of the sex can't be drunk, and the few people who drink from the scholars and friends are not more than the others." And those who can know the wine are also more than that.

Dare to make the assertion of "knowledge, wine", and the wine is free to comment.

The history of appreciating wine by the oak stool has a long history in China, and many ancient literati and scholars have written many books and poems on appreciating fine wines. Ming Yuan Hongdao's "Muscle Administration" said: "All wine is holy with clear color and cold taste.

The color is like gold, and the bitterness is virtuous. The color is black and the taste is sour, and the country is a crude lead fool. Take the glutinous intoxicating person as a gentleman.

It shows that the evaluation has reached a very high level in ancient China.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the party and the first party are very concerned about the inheritance and development of this ancient culture, and have held four national wine appraisal conferences, which have played an important role in promoting the quality of China's beverage wine. The above-mentioned physical and chemical identification method of wine evaluation is to carry out chemical analysis with the help of various scientific instruments, accurately analyze the composition of different wines, use numerical results and mutual comparison, explain the relationship between the quantity of different ingredients on the quality of wine, and identify whether the number of ingredients harmful to the human body exceeds the health standard.

Tasting wine is good wine.

In fact, in terms of quality alone, there is no difference between tasting wine and full-size wine on the market, but the capacity is different. But since the manufacturer dares to release tasting wine, it also means that the manufacturer is quite confident in his product, otherwise he would not do it, and from this point of view, tasting wine is basically good wine.

On the other hand, the first design of this tasting wine is to let customers or employees experience the taste, so the quality of the tasting wine is guaranteed, after all, if the response is better, this wine is to be mass-produced and sold, the winery will definitely spend some thought and cost on this wine, so that customers or employees feel that this wine is good, and from this aspect, the tasting wine will also be a good wine.

Tasting wine is only used to test the market, when it is put into large-scale production, tasting wine will not be produced again, but tasting wine also has a certain market value, mainly used for self-drinking or collection, after all, tasting wine and ** wine compared with the investment is smaller, if some big brands of tasting wine or will become a big brand of tasting wine in the future, there is still a certain collection value.

Wine tasting

If you go to a shopping mall bakery, you will see some bread placed in front of the store for people to try, and after people taste it, they will go in and become customers and buy the corresponding finished product. It is easy to understand that in the field of gastronomy, there is a tasting, there is a tasting, and tasting wine is used for tasting.

But liquor is different from bread, and there is a certain fee for tasting wine, but it will not be too expensive. Of course, there are also free tastings, such as free tasting wines in order to give back to regular customers. Merchants will not give you a tasting in vain, and generally will charge a cost fee.

But there are also free gifts, which will be attached to certain conditions, such as target customers who know each other.
