What was used to seal the wine jar in ancient times

1. Seal it with paper and rope with good toughness. The ancients sealed the wine jar: cover the mouth of the wine jar with a piece of cloth or a piece of paper with good toughness, then tie it tightly with a rope around the mouth of the jar, and then cover a layer of mud on the mouth of the sealed wine jar.

Wine Introduction: It is an ethanol-containing beverage made by fermenting starch or sugar-containing substances such as grains and fruits. In China, it is mainly processed raw liquor from sweet sorghum straw, Yajin sweet sorghum and sorghum grains.

The chemical composition of wine is ethanol, which generally contains trace amounts of fusel and esters. Wine jar: refers to the jar where wine is held.

2. The ancients used a piece of cloth or a piece of paper with good toughness to cover the mouth of the wine jar, and then tied it tightly around the mouth of the altar with a rope, and then covered it with mud on the mouth of the sealed wine jar. It mainly relies on mud to seal the effect, which is why the ancient books describe that drinking alcohol has to be "patted open the mud seal".

The ancients used a piece of cloth or a piece of paper with good toughness to cover the mouth of the wine jar, and then tied it tightly with a rope around the mouth of the altar, and then covered it with mud on the mouth of the sealed wine jar, and when the mud dried, it was basically not breathable. It mainly relies on mud to seal the effect, which is why the ancient books describe that drinking alcohol has to be "patted open the mud seal".

The inside layer is paper, and the outside is sealed with mud.

The importance of sealing wine for babies is: First of all, I would like to praise this behavior. Because, it's too ceremonial!

Think about the wine that is stored now, and wait until more than ten years later to open it, and the child will see absolutely full of happiness! Because this is not only a jar of wine, but also a full love of parents.

Many years later, when the children get married, they will entertain guests, one is to congratulate the new students, the second is to collect wealth and blessings, the third is to encourage progress, the fourth is to be benevolent, the fifth is to entrust important tasks, and the sixth is to inspire future generations. Very meaningful.

Precautions for choosing wine:

1. Store grain and wine.

After all, if it is alcoholic wine, it will not become food wine after many years. Moreover, only wines made from pure grains can be stored longer and taste better and better. In addition, over time, if you blend alcohol with flavor, the flavor will slowly evaporate, and in the end, the wine will lose its original taste.

It's also not good for health. Therefore, you must buy pure grain wine.

2. Store high wine.

To store wine, you need to store at least 50 proof. All wines with an alcohol content of less than 40 are considered low-alcohol wines, which have a low preservation value because they do not have a high alcohol concentration and do not have a strong binding force between wine and water. Moreover, these wines are volatile easily, which will slowly cause the wine to become lighter, the liquid level to drop, and the taste of the wine to deteriorate.

After saving it for more than ten years, it doesn't taste good, and it loses the pleasure of drinking.

3. Wine storage environment.

Let me seriously say to you again, the practice of storing wine in the soil is unscientific. If the liquor is stored in the soil, after a few years, the earthy smell will run into the wine. Normal storage is in a cool, dry and ventilated place.

Moreover, the jar must also be sealed so as not to run too much wine.

Sealing the altar generally refers to the sealing of the liquor altar, and the aged liquor (generally the sauce flavor type, the strong fragrance type, and the light fragrance type liquor) is put into the jar to seal and age, and this process is called sealing the altar. After several years or decades of constant temperature, constant humidity and stable environment, the wine body is more mellow and attractive in the jar, and the value of the sealed altar wine will be greatly enhanced.

Good wine can be better matured after sealing the jar, and the flavor and aroma are valuable. Generally, the Kunsha liquor brewed by the traditional ancient craft 12987 is used as the sealing altar liquor, and after a brewing cycle once a year (to adapt to the season), Dragon Boat Festival koji making (enzyme preparation), Chongyang Xiasha, two feedings, nine times of cooking (steamer distillation, layer-by-layer concentrated distillation), eight times of fermentation (solid state fermentation in stone cellars), and seven times of winemaking. In the production process, sorghum can not be crushed, the crushing rate must be less than or equal to 20%, with the appropriate blending technology and blending ratio, the aged wine is prepared for decades, cellared for more than three years before leaving the factory, used as a sealed altar wine.

Vintage Seal (also known as original packaging seal) is the official product for which wine is produced, with anti-counterfeiting, barcode, packaging, and production date. The liquor itself in its original packaging may also be a 5- or 30-year-old cellar. Since it is a product, the subsequent preservation is in the bottle.

A liquor in its original packaging is at least 5 years old (usually more than 6 years old, as baijiu is usually produced after 1 year of storage).

Of course, one might ask, can being sealed in a bottle be the same as a sealed natural cave? It is best to be sealed in a natural cave, but the taste sealed in a bottle is no worse, because whether it is a cave or a bottle, the liquor is made in a closed way. In fact, the ** old wine on the market belongs to the old wine in its original packaging and sealing.

Due to the clear production time, it can only be judged by identifying its packaging and other product information.

The value of vintage sealed liquor (original packaging sealed liquor) is real aged liquor (year at the time of production) + original packaging year), generally speaking, after 2 years of sealing, strong aroma type liquor has a very harmonious taste and aged aroma. The second characteristic of the vintage sealed wine is that it is relatively low, much lower than the old wine in the folk collection. Since the year sealing (original packaging sealing) is a deliberate act of the manufacturer, its quantity is relatively abundant, and the people will drink or lose it for various reasons after purchasing, so the wine ** sealed in the original packaging will not be too high.

The third aspect of value is that it is absolutely out of print, because the liquor that is sealed in the year must be fixed in the current year, and the newly produced liquor will certainly not have the characteristics of the current year's production. Of course, being out of print does not mean that the vintage sealed liquor has a high collector's value, but it can enhance the drinking pleasure of consumers.

Ingredients: yellow clay, hydrated lime.

1. Take some yellow mud and hydrated lime first, and then put the yellow mud and hydrated lime into a clean bucket at a ratio of 3:1, and add an appropriate amount of water to the bucket.

2. Then stir continuously with a stirring stick to mix the yellow mud and lime thoroughly, and make the mixture viscous.

3. After the wine jar is filled with wine, cover the inner lid, and then cover a plastic film.

4. Seal the inner cover with good yellow mud first, and the size and height of the yellow mud are roughly the same as the inner cavity of the outer cover.

5. Finally, put the outer cover and the inner cover and yellow mud.

6. Finally, dip your hands in some water, and then touch the yellow mud smooth, so that the wine jar is sealed.

Seal the plastic wrap first, and then paste a layer of wet mud (mixed with lime) on top

1. Screwed lid and inward buckled lid: If you are afraid of poor sealing of the lid of the jar itself, you can use steamer cloth (bean bag cloth) or some plastic bags to cover the mouth of the jar first, just like plastic wrap, and then cover the jar lid, whether it is a rotating lid or a direct buckle lid will be very tight.

2. Old-fashioned pickle jar: After putting things away, directly buckle the top lid like a bowl, and fill it with water around it. In this way, water does not enter the air, so as to ensure tightness.
