How about the old wine collection? What does a real old wine look like?

Old liquor is a concept of time, and in the eyes of Zang Yuanmao, the chairman of the Liquor Culture Committee of the Hubei Collectors Association, the liquor produced and bottled before 1996 can be called old liquor, and the vast majority of the liquor with high general value is highly pure grain liquor. (Only more than 48 degrees have preservation value).

Liquor technology: Before 1996, China's liquor production had not yet been fully marketized, and many distilleries still made liquor by hand with pure grain in accordance with traditional technology. After 1996, most of the distilleries have changed to mechanized production in order to seek the most profits, and the new process uses the method of edible alcohol blending to produce liquor in large quantities, the production rate has increased rapidly, and the cost has been greatly reduced.

It is not difficult for wine lovers who understand the liquor brewing process to launch, and the cost of a bottle of old liquor under the traditional process is obviously many times higher than that of the new process.

1. Production cost.

The traditional process is brewed with pure grains and grains, which consumes a lot of grain (generally six tons of grains can only make one ton of wine, which is why the country has advocated new process liquor and low-alcohol liquor - directly blended with alcohol, cheap!). ）。The traditional liquor brewing cycle is relatively long, and the pure manual production method requires a lot of manpower input.

The cost of manpower, material resources and time is calculated, and the basic value of a bottle of pure grain old liquor can be imagined, and the cost of every 1000ml of pure liquor is generally about 300.

2. Distribution costs.

Distribution, everyone must understand, things with collectible value change hands are money, and the premium of general dealers is more than 25%. When the original box of old wine comes out, if the condition is well preserved, the middle layer of profits will inevitably increase the cost of a bottle of old wine.

3. Preservation and storage costs.

The pursuit of capital is profit, the first thing to store old wine is to ensure that the premium of old wine is higher than the loan interest, otherwise capital will not do this thing, and secondly, old wine usually runs out of wine, in order to amortize the cost of insurance, virtually increases the cost of storage. Generally, the premium is between 15% and 20% per year, and the premium of the eight famous wines is even higher, generally between 25% and 35%.

4. Brand effect supply and demand.

Wine lovers who collect old wine should have this experience: the more mainstream and well-known wine was back then, the more expensive it was; The rarer the wine, the more expensive it is. You said that you spent dozens of yuan to buy a bottle of Lai Mao or Gold Label Wuliangye, did you really treat the wine seller as a fool or did the wine seller treat you as a monkey?!

There are really few cases where pie in the sky just hit me!

5. Taxes. The state has always imposed a heavy tax on liquor, even if it is engaged in the sale of old liquor online. The wool comes out of the sheep, won't the merchants count this into the cost of old wine?

One of the "syllogisms" of Chinese liquor collection: what kind of liquor is worth collecting? We know that there are seven necessary procedures for the liquor brewing process:

Alcohol fermentation, starch saccharification, koji making, raw material processing, distillation and liquor, aging and blending, etc. Since liquor can be collected, what kind of liquor can be collected? The author visited the brewing and production workshop of the mainstream manufacturers in Shandong, and the deepest feeling is that if you can collect the top ten famous liquors in Shandong, Jingzhi, Taishan, Lanling, Huaguan, Gubeichun, Confucius, Tiandiyuan, Jingyanggang, Baimaiquan The original puree wine, of course, followed by the Lujiu rookie Wande Liquor, Emgrand Liquor, Jingangshan Liquor, Yunmen Aging, Qianlong Cup Liquor, etc., as long as these manufacturers are really brewing puree wine, you can collect it, you must collect it well.

Of course, if you can collect the real puree liquor of Moutai, Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, and Yanghe, don't miss such an opportunity The second syllogism of Chinese liquor collection: is baijiu worth collecting? In 2008, the author followed the relevant state departments to visit the three major wine regions in France, including the catchy Bordeaux Valley.

The reason for the development of many famous wineries is that their ancestors belonged to the wealthy class, because of their preference for wine collection, so they established their own wineries here, and with the fermentation of the vintage, these wineries have gradually become the carrier of the world's wine culture. <>

As one of the world's six major distilled spirits and the only base of baijiu, Chinese baijiu is in line with Chinese culture. At the table of Chinese, whether it is a happy event or a greeting of relatives and friends, liquor has become a legal item and is known as the lubricant of feelings between people. There are different opinions on the history of liquor brewing in China, some say 3,000 years, and some say more than 5,000 years.

In short, whether it is cultural background or historical origin, Chinese people are inseparable from Chinese liquor, and this relationship has achieved the cultural background of liquor collection. In addition, "wine is the fragrance of aging", the biggest difference between liquor and other items is that the older the liquor, the better, which is also the basis for having the quality of collectibles.

There are always people who want to buy cheap and delicious old wine, but you must know that good goods are not cheap, unless you buy your own wine and store it yourself, in order to ensure that the wine is real and cost-effective. If you look for old wine in the market, you are bound to encounter a lot of pitfalls. Especially for a wine like Moutai, it is really difficult to find old wine and real wine.

How is a real old wine defined? How many years can I keep it to be considered old wine?

How do you define old wine? Is it old wine to be old after buying it and storing it for a few years, or is it old wine mixed with new wine? Broadly dividing new wine from old wine, we areIt is defined according to the production date on the liquor package.

However, there is no clear division of laws or industry standards for the specific storage of how many years can it be considered old wine. Now Moutai on the market, such as Moutai in 2017, and even the previous year's can become old wine.

However, in fact, if it is stored for one year, there is not much difference in taste, and only after more than 3 years can it be called old wine. When aged for more than five years, the taste of this old wine is softer and more mellow than that of new wine. If it is a good wine with high quality, the aroma will be more layered.

But not all wine can be stored as old wineIt must be a high-quality wine brewed from pure grains, preferably soy sauce wine, and it must be preserved and sealed well.

Revealing the method of vintage wine fraud: false label year, the year is arbitrarily determined

If you have been to Moutai, you must have seen loose liquor sold on the roadside, the price is different, and some of the liquor will turn yellow when scooped. They will show you which wines are 3 years old, which are 5 years old or even 10 years old, and the key is that these wines are particularly affordable. This can't help but make people ask, why can Moutai be sold so expensive for a few years?

You have stored this wine for 5 years and 10 years to sell it so cheaply?

In fact, these wines may not be old at all, or they may be sold as old wine because they are mixed with a little bit of old wine in the new wine. There are even some shopkeepers, directlyPut loose wine in 5 or 10 year old bottles, if you want him to be a 5-year-old wine, it is a 5-year-old wine. Some shops come with a vintage stamp, which can be stamped with a 20 or 30-year-old stamp, extending the age of the wine by 10 or even 20 years in a matter of seconds.

As long as you buy alcohol, the packaging stamp is free.

How to tell if it is old wine or not: the color of the hanging cup can be faked

There is a sauce-flavored old wineThe colour is yellowish and full-bodiedcharacteristics, but it does not mean that yellowing is old wine, and the color can also be faked. In addition, to distinguish cooking wine, you can see the degree of hanging glass, you need to pour the wine into the glass, and then shake it gentlyLook for beads on the side wall of the glass to stay. If not, it means that the body of the wine is not enough, the vintage is limited, and the quality is not good enough.

Of course, there is a way to fake this mellowness.

If you really can't drink it, then drink itSee if the taste is pure, the sauce-flavored liquor has the characteristics of leaving a fragrance in an empty cupWhen the new wine is drunk, the aroma in the cup quickly disappears. And if it is an old wine, the taste can last for a day or two. Compared with other flavor liquors, sauce-flavored liquor is the most demanding vintage, so other flavors may only need to be stored for two or three years, but the real sauce-flavored liquor must be stored for more than 5 years, and only then can the taste be pure enough.

I don't think the real old liquor should be drunk, and if it is poured into the cup, it will hang evenly along the wall of the cup, so it may be a real grain liquor.

Real old wine is generally more viscous, and the taste will be particularly rich and delicious.

Baijiu is definitely collectible, because the longer the wine is, the more fragrant it is, provided that you know how to store it. Liquor also depends on what brand you collect, and you also have to look at the year, the older the year, the higher the **, there are more on the market is Moutai, Wuliangye, Langjiu.

1. Drinking value, during the storage process of wine, a variety of esters will be produced, which is commonly known as the "alcoholization" process. Various esters produce a variety of special aromas, but this mellowing is very slow. Therefore, baijiu is usually stored for as long as possible.

2. Historical and cultural value, most of the good products in the collection have a certain historical and cultural background and significance, and after the baptism of the years, this historical and cultural background and significance will be amplified, so that the value of liquor as a carrier has also increased.

3. Brand value, most of the wine is famous wine, which is famous so as to maximize the quality and value of the wine.

4. Artistic value, the collection is the most rare, strange and lacking, the wine bottle shape is peculiar, the wine label has a strong artistic atmosphere, and the bottle material is more collectible, and the wine selected as the collection has these characteristics, it also bears the imprint of history. These wines are the products of a specific period, a specific society and a specific culture, and they are marked by the times as soon as they are cast. For Yozo Liquor, he is actually the epitome of that era, and has immeasurable artistic value for the study of the society, culture and humanity of that time.

The most collectible liquor.

Inheritance wine is the primary work of Huangjinmeng winemaker, in the vast land of Guizhou, some people indulge in complacency in Fanghua, and some people continue to explore, control Fanghua, a little inspirational, iron bone and ice heart, quenching out the sauce flavor of Huangjinmeng inheritance wine!

The wine is a classic work created by the winemaker inheriting the master's winemaking technology through continuous attempts and explorations, inheriting the wine, inheriting the century-old winemaking culture and continuing the classic winemaking art.

Only liquor that meets the following 5 conditions can be collectible. It is of great commemorative significance; Has a long history; It has a unique brand cultural value; It has scarcity and stored value.

If a product has these 5 conditions at the same time, of course, it is better, if you only have one of them, it is okay, as long as it has time value, quality value or cultural value, it has collectible value. In general, compared with ordinary liquor, the collection of liquor is only more demanding, and it is generally a high-grade liquor that can be stored for a long time. It also has to have a certain selling point to have a collectible value.

Because alcohol has the property of flirting, if it is left for a long time, it will be lost. At present, many collectors' old wines are not even drinkable because of poor sealing, which causes color changes. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out technical treatment of the collected liquor.

There are three steps to how to do this; First of all, tighten the bottle cap by hand, then seal the edible wax, [melt the edible wax, then turn the bottle cap upside down, put the bottle cap part into the melted edible wax, take it out to cool] and finally cover the whole bottle with a fresh-keeping bag. If conditions permit, vacuum storage can also be used, and the effect will be better.

The original meaning of the word "collection" is to collect, preserve, and preserve. The collection is further divided into national collections and private collections, and the national collections are kept in museums. The quality of private collections is also improving year by year, and the age of the collections is getting older and older.

Wine, a Chinese word for Chinese, pronounced jiu. English: wine, alcohol

The chemical composition of liquor is ethanol, which generally contains trace amounts of fusel and esters, and the concentration of edible liquor is generally below 60 degrees (i.e. 60%) (a few have more than 60 degrees), and the liquor is purified to more than 75% for medical alcohol by fractionation, and purified to above for absolute ethanol. Liquor is made by fermentation of grain.

China is the earliest wine-making country, as early as 2000 years ago invented the wine-making technology, and constantly improve and perfect, now has developed to be able to produce a variety of concentrations, a variety of aromas, a variety of alcohol-containing beverages, and for industry, medical and health and scientific experiments to produce a concentration of more than 95% of medical alcohol and anhydrous ethanol.

Due to the prevalence of alcohol, the crime rate has risen dramatically. Drinking alcohol makes people easily paralyzed, unconscious, and irrational.
