Is red wine also better when it gets older? Isn t the red wine getting better and better?

According to the person concerned, not all wine can be stored indefinitely, such as rice wine, grape wine, red wine, fruit wine, etc., all have a shelf life, and it is better not to drink it after the shelf life. In addition, people's understanding of aged sake is wrong, the real "aged sake" refers to the sake brewed and stored in sealed barrels, not the wine sealed at home, the bottled sake is best drunk within three years, and even if it does not deteriorate for too long, it will also cause problems such as reduced alcohol content and diluted taste. The wine is certainly not getting better as it ages, depending on the origin and the age of production, French wine is considered the best in the world, especially in Provence, France, because the grapes there are the best for making wine.

At present, the ordinary dry red and white sold in the Chinese market cannot be stored for a long time, and most of the shelf life is ten years, after which it will deteriorate. Baijiu generally has no expiration date, but this does not mean that the longer the liquor is stored, the better, after 5 years, the taste of ordinary flavor liquor will become lighter and the aroma will be weakened; Sauce-flavored aged wine is a good wine, while whether the strong flavor wine that has been stored for many years is a good wine is still inconclusive, and there is a big controversy. The person concerned reminded consumers not only to consider the year when buying baijiu, not only the longer the baijiu, the better, but to identify the real liquor from several aspects such as color, aroma and taste.

Trouble, thanks!

Generally speaking, the older the cellar, the better, and the shelf life of bottled red wine is about 12 to 15 years.

Red wine is not the longer the better, red wine has a life cycle, is the growth period, maturity and aging period, most of the red wine on the market is within two or three years, after a long time the red wine will enter the aging period, the flavor and taste will be greatly reduced. Only a small number of top wines have the potential to age.

Wine is like a living thing, and it also has a life cycle: growth, ripening, and aging. During the growing season, wine is like a child, and all the good qualities are hidden, and it takes time to develop them. If you drink it at this time, you can only feel bitter and astringent, and the other characteristics are almost obscured to the point that you can't notice it.

However, after the baptism of time, the wine slowly begins to enter the ripening period, just like a person slowly enters adulthood, but also slowly matures, elegant, and also forms its own style, at this time, you can appreciate all the beautiful characteristics of wine, is its most glorious period. This period is relatively long. Time can make a wine a wine, but it can also make it fail.

When the peak state is over, the wine begins to age, just like a person who slowly ages, without muscle and strength. In the end, this kind of wine seems to have no impact when it is sold in spring, and it is even bland and tasteless. Of course, after the peak period, it will not immediately become dull and boring.

This will also take a process and it will take a while. So once the wine is at its peak, it should be dried as soon as possible, so as not to be careless and feel sorry for yourself.

Most of the world's red wines are drunk 2-3 years after they are bottled. There is no need for these wines to sit for a long time.

Red wine is not always better.

Vintage is important for wine, but wine is not always better when stored. It is not uncommon to hear that a particular vintage is a good wine, precisely because it represents the whole picture of the growing season, including meteorological factors, soil factors and cultivation management. In addition, the winemaker is also an important factor in determining the quality of the wine.

For a small number of medium-priced wines, the best drinking period may be after three or five years, or within 10 years. These wines usually have a high alcohol content, acidity or tannin intensity, and are very fruity, which can stand the test of time and have a certain preservation value.

With only a very small number of high-quality vintages, the best drinking period may be more than 10 years or more, which requires the winemaker's deep experience and strong anticipation ability.

Red wine is not always better the older it is. The vintage on the wine refers to the grapes of the year. Most (99%) wines do not have the ability to age orange and plum liquor, and the best drinking period varies depending on the wine, generally between 2 and 10 years.

Only a small number of particularly good wines have the ability to age. Some of the top French and Italian wines have been aged for decades or even centuries. Many of the wines from Bordeaux's top châteaux are still drinkable even if they have been preserved for more than one century.

Precautions for wine storage:

Ask for the right temperature, around 12 or 7-18, you can ask for protection from light, because ultraviolet rays will make the wine ripen early - avoid vibration levels, keep the cork moist to prevent air from entering, and oxidize the wine to avoid being too humid to prevent the growth of bacteria.

Suggested places to store wine: under the bed, in the garage, in the closet, in the cellar, etc.

There is a common misconception about red wine, that the older the wine, the better! This conclusion may apply to spirits, but it is wrong for wines.

The low-end entry-level red wine is as new as possible. Because entry-level red wines have no aging potential and are not tolerant! After a long time, the wine will become lighter and the aroma will dissipate.

When it comes to high-end wines, it's not as simple as the older the better. The quality of the wine varies greatly from year to year. As we all know about Lafite '82, the quality is excellent, thanks to the excellent climatic conditions of Bordeaux in 1982.

In short, the quality of the wine is good in a good year when the weather conditions are good. It's not as simple as the older the year, the better!

1. The principle that the older the wine, the more fragrant it is

The reason why the wine will be more and more fragrant is because the wine is fermented with grain in the process of brewing, and in the process of storage, the acid, ester, alcohol, aldehyde and other flavor substances existing in these wines continue to release changes, in a relatively stable environment, the esterification reaction, hydrolysis reaction, condensation reaction and redox reaction of the liquor promote the aging of the liquor, making the liquor body softer and more coordinated, the fragrance is more intense, and the old liquor is delicious, which is recognized.

2. The premise that the older the wine, the more fragrant it is:

We all know that liquor is a product without shelf life limit, and the "General Principles of Prepackaged Food Labeling" says: "Because the alcohol content is high enough, bacteria and microorganisms are difficult to survive", so the liquor will not expire, and the lack of good is also a prerequisite for the long-term survival of liquor, so it is said that no matter what flavor type of liquor, as long as the quality is passable and the sealing is no problem, it can be stored for a long time, but there is an optimal drinking period for different flavors and styles of liquor.

3. The performance of the clapping wine is getting more and more fragrant the older it gets:

Due to the different processes, the quantity and quality of microorganisms in the brewing process are also completely different, which ultimately leads to different degrees of change in the magnitude of flavor substances such as acid, ester, alcohol, aldehyde and other flavor substances in liquor, esterification reaction, hydrolysis reaction, condensation reaction and redox.

The soy sauce wine adopts the 12987 process, and the storage time can reach 20-30 years. The best drinking time is 5-15 years.

The original cellar method, running cellar method, and old five retort technology used for strong incense can be stored for 10-15 years. The best drinking time is 4-9 years.

The fragrance adopts the process of large koji fragrance, small koji fragrance, and bran koji fragrance, and the storage time is 5 years. The best drinking time is 2-3 years.

No matter what kind of fragrant wine it is, as long as it is stored properly, it will improve the taste, and of course, the improvement of soy sauce wine is the greatest. Wine lovers also like to save new wine and drink old wine.

As the saying goes, wine is mellow and fragrant. Probably due to the influence of liquor, many people believe that wine is better the longer it is, and even use this as a standard to measure the quality of wine. So, is red wine better for as long as possible?

Now let's take a look.

It is said that wine depends on the vintage, is it true that the older the wine, the better? But experts point out that wine is not always better as it gets. The age of a red wine is not an absolute measure of the quality of a wine, and this is incorrect.

There is no correlation between the age of a red wine and the quality of the wine, not that the older the wine, the better the quality of the wine.

The year marked on the red wine is actually the year of grape picking, and only the wine produced from the grape juice of the current year can be marked with the year of the current year. And, because the quality of the grapes varies from vintage to vintage, the quality of the wine varies greatly from vintage to vintage.

Not at all as is commonly believed, the longer a year is marked, the better the quality. The age of the wine can only indicate the year of the grapes from which they are made, and can neither be used as an absolute criterion for judging the quality of the wine, nor can it be used as a basis for the price of the wine.
