Both liquor and foreign liquor need to be brewed, is there any difference between the two?

Chinese liquor is brewed for grain, and almost all foreign distilled spirits are made from fruits. Both are fermented and distilled. Chinese liquor belongs to distilled spirits, beer is fermented liquor, and rice wine is fermented liquor.

Chinese liquor is brewed from grain, foreign liquor is almost all brewed from fruits, both are fermented and distilled, foreign liquor refers to the general term of imported liquor, liquor is commonly known as shochu, is a high-concentration alcoholic beverage.

The degree of liquor is on the high side, and the degree of foreign liquor is on the low side. Baijiu is generally simply drunk like that. Sake can sometimes be used as a blend and served with drinks.

1. The difference between raw materials, Chinese liquor is made of grain, such as sorghum, rice, sweet potato, wheat, etc., and foreign liquor is made of fruits, the most of which is grapes, and a few are made of grain, such as vodka.

2. The methods used are different, Chinese liquor is a distilled spirit, which is distilled by different volatilities of water and alcohol. Most foreign sake is fermented by microbial fermentation. There are also fermented wines in China, such as rice wine.

Liquor:Represented by Moutai, Shuanggou and Langjiu, it belongs to Daqu liquor. Its sauce aroma is prominent, elegant and delicate, mellow, long aftertaste, clear and transparent, and the color is slightly yellow.

Mainly soy sauce aroma, slightly burnt (but not out), delicate and complex, supple and lulu (luxiang) is not prominent, ester fragrance is soft and elegant, ester first and then sauce, sauce fragrance is long, the aroma in the cup remains unchanged for a long time, and the fragrance of the empty cup lasts for a long time (Moutai has the saying of "deducting the cup every other day"), the taste is greater than the fragrance, the bitterness is moderate, and the alcohol degree is low and unchanged.

Wine:Refers to the general term for imported liquor. It includes spirits, beer, wine, liqueur, etc., with different alcohol contents.

Fermentation is an indispensable process in the production of sake, which is a drinkable liquid that breaks down sugars into ethanol (alcohol) through the action of yeast, with an ethanol content and a certain amount of nutrients and aromas.

First of all, we have to understand edible alcohol, edible alcohol is also brewed from grain, but it is mainly obtained by using potatoes, corn, sugarcane, etc. as raw materials through liquid fermentation, and the focus is on liquefiing raw materials! In a word, these relatively cheap grains, large yields, and low-cost raw materials are used by the food industry. It can be mixed with distilled water, purified water to make liquor, or medical alcohol.

Most of the foreign liquor is the method of eating alcohol, which is generally used to produce spirits, including vodka, whiskey, gin, tequila, rum, of course, China's low-end liquor is also partially made by "liquid fermentation method", which is made by adding rectified alcohol to purified water, and sometimes adding food additives such as spices or food flavors as needed to improve the taste.

China's real high-quality liquor is the use of pure grain solid-state brewing process, China's unique distilled liquor, unique production technology endows Chinese liquor with unique flavor characteristics, its aroma components are extremely complex, the types of components, the content span is large, can be called the world's top distilled spirits. Due to its unique production process, the main substances of acid, alcohol and ester in this unique traditional solid-state liquor in China are not only much higher than those of the new process liquor in terms of type and quantity, and are known as the chromatographic skeleton components of liquor, but also contain complex components such as aldehydes, ketones, phenolic compounds, and sulfur-containing compounds, which are important factors in determining the flavor and quality of liquor. Brewed from wheat, rice koji, and sorghum as raw grains, the production cost is much higher than that of edible alcohol, and the yield has not been high.

The taste will be even better!

So don't think that foreign wine is good, Western high-grade wine is actually edible alcohol! Therefore, either add various flavors before production, and many need to add lemon before drinking, add other drinks, etc., this is because the taste of direct drinking is poor, and drinking medical alcohol is no different!

Food materials.

Foreign liquor refers to the general term of imported liquor, which includes spirits, beer, wine, liqueurs, etc., different alcohol content of liquor varieties, the production process of liquor is indispensable to the fermentation process, which is through the action of yeast, the decomposition of sugars into ethanol (alcohol) drinkable liquid.

The ethanol content is between to, and it contains certain nutrients and flavor components. There are tens of thousands of different types of sake around the world, and the raw materials used in sake brewing and the alcohol content of sake vary greatly, so people use different methods to classify them in order to make them easier to understand and remember.

If the wine is classified according to the raw materials of production, it can be roughly divided into seven categories: grain wine, spice herbal wine, fruit wine, milk egg wine, vegetable slurry wine, mead wine and mixed wine.

Classification of alcohol: The classification of alcohol is based on the timing of drinking, and there are differences in aperitif, accompaniment, after-dinner and special drinking.

According to the difference in alcohol content, there are low-alcohol wines, medium-alcohol wines, and high-alcohol wines.

Divided by the nature of wines, they can be grouped into three main categories:

1. Fermented liquor, including wine, beer, rice wine and fruit wine.

2. Distilled spirits, including Chinese liquor, French brandy, whiskey, Dutch gin, vodka, rum, and Techila.

3. Refined and comprehensively processed liquor, including English gin, liqueur, Vermouth wine (vermouth), bitter wine, medicinal wine, etc.

Sake is made from grains, grains, fruits, plants, spices and other materials, and comes in a variety of styles.

Common materials for foreign wines:

Wine. Wines are made from grapes and are usually divided into four categories: still wines, sparkling wines, fortified wines, and aperitifs. Still wine is our common red and white wine, referred to as red wine and white wine.

Brandy. Brandy is also made from grapes. It originated in France and is a wine made by re-distilling wine. Brandy is produced all over the world, but the best quality grape brandy is cognac.

Whiskey. Whisky is a distilled spirit, made from barley. There are two varieties:

One is barley whiskey, such as Glenlivet. The other is blended whiskies, such as Chivas Regal. Whisky is a distilled spirit with an alcohol content of 38%-48% (VV) and a maximum concentration of 70% (Vv).

It is usually not drunk at mealtimes, but is mostly tasted at leisure.

Vodka. Vodka originated in Russia and is made by distilling grains such as wheat, corn, potatoes, etc. Vodka is as clear as water on the outside, but it is as strong as gunpowder in the bones. It does not add value as it becomes more mellow as it is "aged", because it is almost pure alcohol.

Rum. Rum is made from sugar cane, and it is available in two styles: light and strong. Light rum is light yellow to golden yellow and is mainly produced in Puerto Rico and Cuba; Strong-bodied rum has a golden yellow color and is represented by Jamaican origin.

Maguey. Agave is produced in Mexico, also known as the soul of Mexico, and is the fruit of the plant agave. It has a famous advertising slogan:

Life is bitter, and your agave is not. Agave has an alcohol content of about 50% (V v) and is a secondary distilled spirit. The famous brand is Raven Agave.

The distillation method is different depending on the raw material.

The raw material of liquor is grain. After solid-state fermentation, a variety of microorganisms are used to ferment to produce a large number of flavor substances, which are extracted by distillation, and then stored, blended and flavored to produce products.

There are many types of liquor. For example, the raw material is grapes, which are liquidly fermented, then distilled and stored, blended and flavored.

The raw materials are different, the types of microorganisms used are also different, the distillation methods of the two are different, and the aroma substances are relatively concentrated by solid-state distillation; In liquid distillation, aromatic substances flow out in layers due to different boiling points during distillation. So the taste will be very different.

Undistilled brewed liquor: There are many foreign and domestic liquors. For example, wine, beer, etc.

The quality and taste of these wines will be very similar. However, there are two types of wines: dry, semi-dry, and sweet. The taste is very different, and the taste of the same beer is different from the raw materials and production process.

The temperature at which the malt is dried, the amount of hops used, etc.

Whiskey and baijiu are relatively speaking, baijiu has a higher degree and is stronger than whiskey. Whisky is drunk in a variety of ways, the taste of whisky is mellow and proud, through maturity, the taste of liquor is sweet and delicate, pure, and there are many kinds of sauce flavor, strong fragrance and light fragrance to choose from.
