    Liquor is a high-concentration alcohol, which is generally not easy to breed bacteria, but liquor also has a shelf life according to the degree of sealing, storage environment, etc., and the shelf life of general liquor is about 3---5 years.

    The main ingredient of wine is ethanol, and the percentage of ethanol content is the degree of the wine. In addition to ethanol, there are also artificially added spices, medicinal materials, microorganisms, methanol, acetaldehyde, etc. In an oxygen-free environment, the ethanol in liquor turns into acetaldehyde over time, hence the saying that 'liquor is the aroma of aging'.

    The longer the liquor is stored, the less ethanol content and the higher the acetaldehyde content, the more fragrant the liquor is. Therefore, as long as the liquor meets the sealing and temperature issues, the longer the gap is the better.

    Jannychoo Senior Scholar Beijing Evening News: The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China conducted random inspections on the hot-selling liquor and wine during the Spring Festival, and the product sampling pass rate was and. Experts from the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine reminded consumers that the quality of small distillery products is unstable, and the quality of liquor is not "the older it is, the more fragrant it is".

    Of the 24 kinds of products sampled this time, 7 kinds of unqualified products were unqualified. Although some large and medium-sized enterprises produce low-priced products that are qualified, the quality is average, and some are even alcohol with flavor, and then add a small amount of solid liquor or wine tail to make a simple blend, and the taste is rough.

    The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine reminds consumers that the quality of liquor is not "the older it is, the more fragrant it is", and the hydrolysis of esters occurs when low-alcohol liquor is stored for a period of time, resulting in a dull taste. The traditional concept of "the older the liquor, the more fragrant" is not suitable for the preservation of low-alcohol liquor. In addition, liquor packaging boxes are becoming more and more particular, in order to prevent counterfeiting, enterprises make the box itself into a disposable packaging appliance that is "open and damaged", and the production date is only marked on the label of the wine bottle or on the paper page in the box, and consumers often cannot understand the information of the production date from the outer packaging of the product when purchasing liquor.

    The better brands in the liquor spot check are: Luzhou Laojiao Touqu, Xiangquan Liquor, Yangshao Liquor, Jinjiu, Baotu Spring Special Liquor, and Huadeng Brand Beijing Alcohol. Poor products are:

    Yingmin brand Guan Dadao Lao Yao, Hanzhuang brand Mongolian tribute liquor, Xindi brand Erguotou liquor and Baogu soju produced by Hunan Xiangxi Distillery.

    In the wine spot check, the main problem was sensory quality, and 20 of the 23 unqualified products were judged to be unqualified due to sensory unqualified. Some of the products with good quality are: Changyu Cabernet dry red wine, Dynasty dry red wine, Great Wall Cabernet dry red wine, Weilong dry red wine, Great Wall dry red wine, Fengshou dry white wine.

    Whether the liquor can be stored for 5 years is actually related to the type of liquor, and the data shows that if it is a liquor blended with alcohol, it is not suitable for long-term storage, because there will not be too many chemical changes in this process, on the contrary, some flavor substances are added to it, which will slowly volatilize and make the liquor lose its taste.

    The liquor that can generally be stored is mostly pure grain wine, and the taste of the liquor will also change as the storage time becomes longer, which is the so-called "the older the more fragrant".

    In addition, when storing liquor, there are also requirements for the degree of liquor, the degree is too low, the longer the storage time, the more the degree of liquor drops, when alcohol can not have an inhibitory effect on bacteria, liquor will also deteriorate. Fortunately, the degree of liquor in China is usually above 38 degrees, and most people choose liquor at 42 degrees, 48 degrees, 53 degrees, etc.

    Suggestion: Choose a high number of liquor for storage.

    Therefore, in theory, baijiu can be stored for 6 years.

    In addition to the above reasons, it is also related to the shelf life of liquor.

    About the shelf life of liquor.

    Does liquor have an expiration date?

    Answer: Some exist, and some have no expiration date.

    According to national regulations, low-alcohol liquor, that is, beverage liquor with an ethanol content of less than 10%, must be marked with the shelf life.

    Usually drinking liquor, liquor with an alcohol content greater than 10% can be exempted from the expiration date.

    Therefore, in a normal sense, the liquor we see has no expiration date.

    But! This does not mean that it can be stored indefinitely.

    When the liquor is stored for a long time, the alcohol concentration will decrease, and the esterification reaction will also slow down, and when the equilibrium is reached, the esterification reaction will stop, and the re-storage will lose its meaning.

    Generally, it is recommended to store liquor for 3-4 years. Under non-professional conditions, if the liquor is stored for too long, it will not become an old liquor, and it will also affect the taste.

    Liquor storage is not that simple.

    In fact, most of the so-called old wine is carried out in the cellar, and the storage conditions have certain requirements for soil, humidity, beneficial bacteria, temperature, etc.

    Most of the liquor we buy is packaged in glass bottles or ceramic bottles, and there are no storage conditions at home. On the contrary, it will be affected by light, temperature, or the sealing is not up to standard, and volatilization will occur, affecting the taste.

    In addition, the liquor in plastic bottles is not suitable for long-term storage. Plastics deteriorate and may release harmful substances.

    The liquor has been left for a long time, and it can be drunk as long as it has not deteriorated. If it is a pure grain wine blended with alcohol, it is not suitable for long-term storage, because there will be no excessive chemical reaction in this whole process, and in turn, some spice compounds will be added to it, which will gradually evaporate and make the pure grain wine lose its taste. The pure grain wine that can be stored is mostly pure grain wine, and with the prolongation of storage time, the taste of the wine will also change, that is to say, "the older it is, the more fragrant it is".

    In addition, when storing pure grain wine, there are also regulations on the degree of liquor, the degree of myopia is too low, the longer the storage time, the more the degree of liquor is reduced, when ethanol can not cause inhibition of bacteria, pure grain wine will also mildew.

    Liquor with a degree below 40 degrees, or liquor blended with alcohol, fragrant liquor, etc., is not suitable for long-term storage, due to the low alcohol content, after 10 years of storage, due to the volatilization of alcohol, it may affect the taste, and the aroma of the wine will become lighter. And due to the low alcohol concentration, microbial contamination may also cause spoilage if stored incorrectly, so it is not recommended to drink it at this time to avoid gastrointestinal symptoms.

    Trouble like thank you.

    My answer was "I can drink it". Ordinary liquor that has been stored for more than ten years must be drinkable, because the liquor grows over time, and the fusel hepatina in it volatilizes and the taste will be more pure, but if it is too long, it does not taste very good, because its aroma is not as sufficient as it has been stored for three or five years, and the degree of liquor will be reduced, so its taste is a little bland.

    Baijiu above 50 degrees is suitable for long-term storage. High-grade liquor is generally brewed from pure grains, with less volatile substances, and the liquor body is not easy to deteriorate, so it is suitable for long-term storage. Low-alcohol liquor below 50 degrees adds a lot of aroma components, and the aroma will gradually dissipate with the passage of time; At the same time, low-alcohol wine contains a lot of volatile substances, and the wine body is easy to deteriorate.

    1. It must be pure grain wine. Only pure grain wine has the significance of long-term storage.

    2. Choose a fragrance type. Sauce-flavored and strong-flavored liquor has many acids and esters, so it is more suitable for long-term storage. The light flavor type and rice flavor type have fewer trace components, the wine body is relatively pure, and the flavor type is light, so it is not suitable for long-term storage, and it is generally about 5-10 years.

    3. Priority is given to high-strength wines. There is a saying on the Internet that only high-strength wine can be stored, and low-alcohol wine cannot be stored, which is actually inaccurate. It should be that high-strength sake is more suitable for long-term storage (above 50 degrees), about 5-25 years or so.

    Low-alcohol sake can also be stored, about 5-10 years or so. If the low-alcohol wine is stored for too long, the hydrolysis reaction will occur, and the taste of the wine will become lighter and the taste will be sour.

    4. Pay attention to packaging. If you want to store it in large quantities, it is best to use a large clay pot, and the trace amount of air permeability promotes the aging of the liquor. If you are preparing a single bottle for preservation, it is best to choose a porcelain bottle, which is not transparent to light.

    If you buy a glass bottle, it is best to pack it in a cardboard box to avoid light. However, metal bottles and plastic bottles are resolutely unusable, and it is easy to cause the wine to deteriorate.

    5. Secondary sealing. The current bottle mouth production process is relatively good, but it can only be stored for about 5 years, and after a long time, it is easy to loosen and deform, resulting in ethanol volatilization and jogging wine. Therefore, if you plan to store it for a long time, the bottle mouth of the liquor should be sealed twice, the method is to wrap it tightly with waterproof tape first, and then melt the beeswax to paste the bottle mouth, although it is not good-looking, but it can be stored for a long time and will not run out of wine.

    6. Storage environment. It should be stored in a slightly ventilated environment with a temperature of about 10-20 degrees Celsius and a humidity of about 70%.

    7. Eliminate peculiar smells. Many people are accustomed to keeping liquor in the warehouse, and there are other sundries in it in addition to liquor. Be sure to avoid peculiar smells and special smells, such as mothballs, sauerkraut, spices, seafood products, etc., otherwise it will also affect the quality of the wine.

    8. Regular inspection. After the liquor is stored, it should be checked regularly. Pay attention to see if there is any change in the environment, whether there is any running wine, whether there is any bump and so on. All "potential dangers" should be eliminated in time, so that they can be stored for a long time.

    If you want to store liquor for a long time, you must pay attention to the "8 points" above, and if you don't do any of them, you are wasting good wine.
