Introduction: The same is alcoholic wine, vodka is used all over the world, but China's alcoholic wine can not look up, why?
What alcoholic liquor?
In short, it is an alcoholic beverage made from fermenting cheap grains such as potatoes and sugar cane.
Russian vodka is a typical alcoholic wine, with a degree of 40-60 degrees, but the original wine that has just been brewed can reach up to 95 degrees, so like China's liquor, the wine is very strong.
In addition, it is necessary to go through various purification techniques to remove additional aromatic organic matter, and finally form a crystal clear, clear and impurity-free wine body, which is very pure.
But the taste of wine is very thin, a mouthful, no fragrance, no spicy and bitter taste, some are just a blazing throat, after drinking freely, no drinking habits can not swallow at all, but also the fighting nation to drink it as water.
From the perspective of our Chinese, vodka is not a wine that people can drink, and it is estimated that not many people drink it, and there is basically no drinking value to speak of.
However, vodka can become the world's counterpart alcoholic beverage, and many countries have specially set up distilleries to brew vodka, to this extent, The world-renowned Moutai can not do it.
This is mainly due to the "purity" of vodka, which is the ideal base for many drinks.
For example, if the cocktail that foreigners like, if the wine basically has a taste, it will undoubtedly interfere with the preparation of the cocktail and lead to channeling.
The "pure" nature of vodka not only does not taste, but also makes the aroma and taste of the wine more prominent, killing two birds with one stone, and foreigners value this.
Of course, foreigners have strong hands-on ability and rich imagination, so many places have a bartending culture, and cocktails are just one of them, so high-quality liquor base, vodka has naturally become a favorite of bartending enthusiasts.
Because vodka is so adaptable, vodka, which seems difficult to enter, can travel around the globe.
Looking at China's alcoholic wine, the brewing raw materials are actually similar, all are cheap grain, but alcoholic wine has become another extreme.
Although there are many alcoholic wine brands in China and many people drink alcohol, the reputation of alcoholic wine is not very good, and it is not said to be inferior wine or fake wine, why is this?
The author feels that there are two points:
1. Chinese wine culture has a long history and pays a lot of attention to wine.
For example, the taste of mellowness and softness, the fullness of the aroma, the fullness of the wine, the layering, the vintage of the wine, etc., in short, Chinese have high requirements for wine.
The brewing process of alcoholic wine is simple and the raw materials are cheap, resulting in the final wine not meeting people's requirements.
In order to solve this problem, a new process of liquor was born, which can be flavored by adding additional flavors, fragrances, esters, and some are steamed Titian.
Although the aroma of domestic alcoholic liquor has been raised, this process and the traditional process of liquor are very different, and the final quality gap is also large, so for a long time, people can not accept it, and it is said to be "fake wine".
2. The threshold of alcohol is low and the chaos is serious
From the above, we know that the brewing process of alcoholic wine is simple, the cost is low, and there are no requirements for the place of origin, climate, etc., and the threshold is very low, so many semi-hanging manufacturers have also begun to learn to brew alcoholic wine to make profits.
The consequence of poor learning is that the quality of the wine is not up to standard, not only the taste is poor, but also can endanger life.
Although after years of development, the brewing technology of alcoholic wine has improved a lot, saying that it is "fake wine" is much less, but it still cannot take off the label of "inferior wine".
Such a difference has led to different treatment of the two, which is actually determined by national conditions, what do you think?
