Nowadays, when it comes to domestic fragrant liquor, many people will naturally think of Fenjiu.
Dozens of pieces of yellow lid, red cover Bofen, more than a hundred old white fen, hundreds of yuan qinghua, in the fragrance type liquor industry are well-known existence, while other fragrant liquor, either popular in the local area, or not at all famous!
In fact, there were once two kinds of fragrant liquors, and their sales were once close to the original "Fen boss", and they were selected into the ranks of China's famous liquors together with Fenjiu.
But then for various reasons, it went into decline, and even once on the verge of bankruptcy, do you know which two are the two?
The first one: national color fragrance - Baofeng wine
Once a brother in Henan, it is said that Yidi is in the current Baofeng territory, and Baofeng liquor was selected in the national famous wine selection in 1989, becoming the pride of Henan liquor that year.
In that year, Baofeng County contributed a large share of the financial revenue of a county, and it became a key enterprise supported and concerned by the province.
In 2001, for various reasons, it was helpless to cooperate with Jianlibao, but after only two years the shares were sold, the winery began to lose its way, until today.
In 2020, in cooperation with Fat Donglai, the launch of "Fat East to Scare Wine", for a time, Baofeng Wine re-entered the public vision, but there is still a long way to go before it was brilliant and re-entered the country.
The second paragraph: Yellow Crane Tower wine
The older generation in Wuhan has a saying: no Yellow Crane Tower wine can not be served.
The Yellow Crane Tower originated from the "Hanfen Wine", and was later renamed Yellow Crane Tower Wine in combination with the local brewing process in Wuhan.
In 1984 and 1989, the Yellow Crane Tower won the title of Chinese Famous Wine for two consecutive years.
Its fragrance is different from fenjiu, the wine aroma is elegant and pure, mellow and coordinated, and the market reputation and sales are very good.
After 1992, due to technical and management reasons, the winery began to gradually decline and gradually disappeared.
Unfortunately, in 2003, the distillery was acquired, and its trademark also underwent certain changes, from the original "three floors" to the current "five floors", and launched new products, but the market is still far from the former Chinese famous wine.
Looking back at the history of the two major fragrant liquors, it is undoubtedly inseparable from their own business problems, which is a pity.
However, its pure and fragrant taste is named in the hearts of the older generation of wine lovers, and I hope that these two good wines can be revitalized and re-brewed into good liquor, so that the fragrant liquor can have more good products.
However, compared with the fragrant liquor, many elderly wine lovers now prefer mellow sauce liquor, which is relatively rich in level.
In fact, this is because their brewing process is very different.
(1) The fermented koji is different: the use of medium and low temperature koji in fragrant liquor, and the use of high-temperature koji for sauce liquor.
(2) Different raw materials: sauce wine is mostly made of wheat koji, sorghum as raw materials, fragrant wine raw materials are more mixed, and many koji are added to peas.
Many wine friends will feel that the price of sauce wine is very expensive, especially the sauce wine led by Moutai, a bottle is difficult to find, in fact, the collection and advertising costs of liquor are removed, the cost of sauce wine is not to say that ordinary people are difficult to reach, recommend two sauce wines to wine friends, the price is affordable, the taste is very mellow sauce wine.
Jun Zhongyuan secretly hid wine
53° premium sauce wine, brewed in Daqu Kunsha.
The brewer once passed on the government, and Li Xingfa, the father of the sauce xiang, was the master.
Adhere to the sauce wine process of "12987" of the Mao system, heavy sun under the sand, feed in two times, and keep it in the cellar for more than 7 years.
The tedious process has brewed a mellow wine, and many wine lovers on the subway pole have come from smelling.
However, due to excessive investment in the early stage, the publicity was stretched, and it did not keep up in time, and could only succumb to the local market.
Wine body: the wine is slightly yellow, crystal clear, and the hops are very uniform and dense, which can be kept for a long time without breaking.
Wine aroma: the sauce is fragrant, the smell is very full, pour a glass of wine, and soon you can feel the aroma of wine and flowers and fruits in the house.
Taste: soft and pure, rich in sauce, you can feel the sauce wrapped in a floral and fruit aroma and grain aroma, layered, gently swallowed, the wine is smooth and long, there is no trace of spicy throat and strange feeling, it feels like a clear spring slowly flowing into the body, very comfortable.
Treasure Wine Treasure Wine
Friends who understand liquor know that it is positioned as a "replica" of Moutai wine, which perfectly inherits the craftsmanship and process of Moutai and many wine friends call him "Ermaotai".
The same raw materials as the grass system are used, but the geographical environment of fermentation is different, and the base wine blended with more than 8 years of hemp cellar is used.
The entrance is soft, elegant and mellow, the middle section is also very good for the presentation of cellar incense and grain fragrance, into the throat soft and peaceful, the overall feeling of small family jasper, let people shine, but carefully aftertaste, contrasting the thatch, slightly monotonous, but a larger sense of thickness and richness.
