How to identify real and fake wine, and how to distinguish between real and fake wine

It's hard to drink too much fake wine.

Here's how to distinguish real wine from fake wine:

1. Look at the wine label.

The method of distinguishing real and fake wine first starts from the appearance, if the outer packaging is stained, the edge of the unsealed box is worn, damaged, scratched, burrs, etc., if the bottle has used traces and stains, such wine may be greasy. When buying liquor, you can ask the store to take a few more bottles of liquor to see how neat the wine label is, because some fake liquor has to rely on manual operation and relabeling, while real liquor is machine-labeled. Machine-applied labels are significantly more neat than hand-labeled labels.

In addition, the authentic famous wine packaging is exquisite, the paper is excellent, the packaging production and label printing are exquisite, the embossing is printed, the pattern text is clear and distinct, the color is accurate, and the trim is neat. Counterfeit famous wine is generally rough on paper, the pattern and text are not clear enough, the color is not coordinated enough, the color is not correct, there is no concave and convex printing or the uneven sense of printing is not obvious.

It is worth mentioning that many famous wines have used laser holographic anti-counterfeiting marks, fluorescent anti-counterfeiting marks, temperature anti-counterfeiting marks or profiling anti-counterfeiting technology on their packaging. For example, the anti-counterfeiting pattern of Moutai has two kinds of "flying sky" and "five-pointed star", both of which use laser holographic anti-counterfeiting signs, which will show different colors from different angles, and can only be used once, and cannot be restored and reused after opening.

Second, look at the bottle cap.

In addition to the wine label, consumers should also pay attention to the packaging shrink film of the bottle mouth, the shrink film of real wine should be tightly packaged, the packaging of fake wine should be looser, and the shrink film of fake wine can be rotated on the bottle cap. At the same time, the edge of the real wine is smooth and neat, while the edge of the fake wine is uneven and wrinkled.

Also, pay more attention to the lid. Most of the caps of famous wines use metal anti-theft caps, and the caps are made of excellent materials, exquisite production, consistent shape, and break when twisted. The text pattern on the cover is clear and neat, and the seal is tight, not loose or leaky.

The bottle caps of fakes are generally handmade, the sealing is not tight, there is often loose and leaking wine, and the text pattern is not clear, easy to fall off, and the lid is not easy to twist.

3. Wine tasting.

Each national wine has its own color, aroma, taste and style characteristics. However, no matter what kind of famous liquor, it has the advantages of clear liquor, elegant aroma, mellow and refreshing entrance, sweet but not greasy, bitter but not lasting, spicy but not choking, sour but not astringent. Fakes do not have these hot spots, and most of the abnormal tastes such as pungent aroma, choking in the mouth, and miscellaneous smells are all used as famous liquor, so the tasting results do not have the special features of pretending to be famous liquor.

Precautions for consumers when buying liquor

1. Buy at a regular location. It is necessary to buy liquor at supermarkets, shopping malls or designated distribution points of manufacturers with complete licenses, liquor business licenses, food hygiene licenses and other certificates and good reputation. Do not buy liquor without a factory name or production date.

2. Raise awareness of consumer rights protection. When purchasing liquor, consumers should pay attention to keeping the commodity invoice and retaining the inside and outside packaging, and the specific name, specification and batch number of the product should be indicated on the invoice. If counterfeit or shoddy liquor is found, it should be promptly complained to the Liquor Monopoly Bureau, industry and commerce, quality supervision and other functional departments, or to the Consumer Council.

1. Look at the anti-counterfeiting label of the wine, the genuine anti-counterfeiting mark can appear different pattern changes at different angles, and the anti-counterfeiting line can be torn off; The anti-counterfeiting mark of fake wine is dull, the pattern change is not obvious, and the anti-counterfeiting line is sometimes printed.

2. Take a drop of wine and put it in the palm of your hand, rub it with both hands, after the wine is hot, if it exudes a fragrant smell, it is a good wine; The smell is sweet, and it is a general wine; The smell is foul and it is an inferior wine.

3. After opening the wine, pour out some, and then drop a few drops of tea, you can observe the color change, if the color changes to the same color as strong tea, it means that it is true, if it becomes a dark color, it is fake wine.

4. Take a drop of edible oil, drop it into the wine, if it can spread regularly and sink evenly, it is a high-quality wine, otherwise, the diffusion is irregular, and the sinking is not obvious for inferior wine.

1. Look at the anti-counterfeiting label of the wine, the genuine anti-counterfeiting mark can appear in different patterns at different angles, and the anti-counterfeiting line can be torn off by the dust trembling; The anti-counterfeiting mark of fake wine is dull, the pattern change is not obvious, and the anti-counterfeiting line is sometimes printed.

2. When sensory identification of the aroma of liquor, it is best to use a glass with a big belly and a small mouth, pour the liquor into the cup and shake it slightly, and immediately use your nose to smell its aroma carefully near the mouth of the cup. Or pour a few drops of wine on the palm of your hand, rub it a few times, and then smell the palm of your hand to identify the intensity of the aroma and whether the fragrance type is normal.

3. The normal color of liquor should be a colorless and transparent liquid without suspended solids and sediments. Pour the liquor into the glass, and there must be no annular insoluble matter on the wall of the glass. The bottle is turned upside down and the wine is observed in the light, without suspended solids, cloudiness and sedimentation.

In winter, if there is precipitation in the liquor, it can be heated to 30 40 in a water bath, and if the precipitation disappears, it is normal.

4. Take a drop of edible oil, drop it into the wine, if it can spread regularly and sink evenly, it is a high-quality wine in Brother Spring, and if it spreads irregularly, it is not obvious that it is inferior wine.

1. Look at the implementation standards.

When buying liquor, we can judge whether it is grain wine or alcohol blended wine by looking at the implementation standard number of liquor. If the implementation standard number of the liquor is GB T20821, it means that it is a liquid liquor, and this liquor is blended with edible alcohol. The implementation standard number is GB T20822, which is solid-liquid liquor, which is blended with no more than 30% solid pure grain base liquor and edible alcohol, and is not considered grain liquor.

The liquor brewed by the solid-state method is the real grain wine, and its implementation standards will vary depending on the aroma type. You only need to remember the implementation standards of GB T20821 and GB T20822, which are two alcohol blended wines, and you can easily distinguish between grain wine and alcohol blended wine.

2. Hand rubbing.

To check whether the liquor is grain wine, we can take a little liquor and pour it into the palm of our hand, and then rub it with both hands. After rubbing, smell the wine on your hands, if there is still the aroma of wine, it means that this wine is good wine, brewed from pure grains. If it is a liquor blended with alcohol, it only has a flavor flavor, smells very strong, and has a short retention time, and soon has no taste.

3. Observe the hops.

Shake the liquor and the slow liquor where the hops disappear is grain liquor, while if the hops are densely turned up and disappear immediately, it is an alcohol blended liquor.

4. Water addition method.

Pour the liquor into a transparent glass, add an appropriate amount of water and mix well. If Bai You's ruined wine has a phenomenon of loss of light and turbidity, such is grain wine. And if the liquor has not lost its luster and has not become cloudy, it is an alcohol blend.

Because some substances in grain wine are insoluble in water, they will precipitate after adding water.

How to distinguish real and fake liquor:

1.Carefully check whether the packaging is neat and intact.

At present, most of the 17 kinds of famous liquor announced and recognized by China use aluminum metal anti-counterfeiting covers, which are characterized by smooth lids, unified shapes, easy to open, neat and clear patterns and words on the covers, and strict counterparts. If it is a counterfeit product, it will often drip out when it is turned upside down, the lid is not easy to twist, and the pattern and text are blurred.

2.The label of good liquor printing is very exquisite, beautifully printed, the color is very bright, and there is a certain luster; And the label of fake wine is very crude. For example, Moutai, its anti-counterfeiting pattern will show different colors when viewed from different angles, and it can only be used once, and it cannot be restored if it is slightly damaged.

The edge seams of the genuine packaging are neat and tight, and there is no uneven tightness and gaps.

3.Open the box and check the cap.

At present, most of the high-end and mid-end liquor uses anti-counterfeiting technology at the bottle cap, and the plastic cap on it will be destroyed after the bottle is opened, and the plastic cap looks very different under different light angles. These details are difficult for fake manufacturers to have!

4.Don't put too much faith in the security marking.

In today's developed science and technology, anti-counterfeiting logos can be used. Nowadays, most of the counterfeit wine makers are filled with inferior wine in old real wine boxes and real wine bottles, and the risk of such fake wine is not large, and it is not easy to identify. Pick up the wine box, turn the wine box upside down, and carefully observe the bottom of the box to see if the bottom of the box is damaged, whether there is too much viscose, if there is, it is fake wine.

5.Judging by the degree and transmittance of the wine.

Shake the wine bottle, if there are hops the size of millet grains to sorghum rice grains, the piling time is about 15 seconds, and the degree of the wine should be 53 degrees - 55 degrees; If the hops are the size of sorghum grains, the heaping time is about 7 seconds, and the degree of the wine is 57-60 degrees. In addition, slowly turn the bottle upside down (i.e., a colorless or light-colored transparent glass bottle).

Observe the bottom of the bottle in the sunlight or light, if there is a sinking substance or a cloud-like phenomenon, it means that there are many impurities in the wine; If the liquor does not lose its luster or turbidity, and there is no suspended matter, it means that the quality of the liquor is better.
