Every year in December, almost all alcoholic beverages are sold in the golden period. In today's increasing focus on health and wellness, whether it is a gift or a bedtime drink, red wine has become a landmark drink for Chinese people to pursue quality of life. But how can we avoid buying inferior blended red wine and buying authentic red wine?
Rookie level: go to METRO and the new century relatively assured
If you are a "rookie" who knows nothing about red wine and do not want to master a more professional method of identification, the relevant people of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau suggest that the choice of large stores is relatively secure. Because in the process of their inspection, large stores are required to implement "one single pass", the source of goods and channels are clear, and the large stores must have an inspection of the source of goods themselves. In this regard, METRO and the new century have the strictest control, which can be relatively assured.
Entry level: domestic red wine 70 yuan is a "watershed"
Consumers often have a price to determine the quality of the consumer psychology, a wine brand operator said that although the price can not completely determine the quality, but in terms of the cost of a bottle of ordinary domestic wine, less than 20 yuan of wine is definitely false, 70 ~ 80 yuan is a watershed, can be appropriate as a reference, but can only say that more than 70 yuan may contain grape juice, but good or bad and otherwise to try their luck.
Elementary: To read the capacity to see the barcode
Good red wine, in the bottle body, bottle bottom will have concave English and numbers to indicate the capacity and bottle diameter, etc., and some even have marks on the cork. Especially the capacity, domestic and imported wine is different, the original imported wine label capacity is in "cl" cents as a unit, marked 75cl, while the domestic is in "ml" ml as a unit, common 750ml, if the imported wine labeled 750ml, there must be a fake. If it is imported red wine, it also depends on the international barcode on the label on the back of the bottle. For example, the French international code is 3, under normal circumstances, the French red wine with a bar code beginning with 33-37 bought in a regular large shopping mall is generally genuine.
Intermediate: Alcohol content below 7% quality problematic
According to the provisions of wine standards, the alcohol content of wine should not be less than 7%, the alcohol content of wine processed by normal processing should be about 11%, and some special products can be between 7% and 24%. Therefore, when the alcohol content in wine is less than 7%, one reason may be that the quality of the grape raw material is too poor; another reason is that the grapes are not fermented at all, both of which are the causes of poor wine quality. In addition, the alcohol content is too low, so that the shelf life of the wine is affected, and it is difficult to ensure the quality.
Premium: If the aroma remains unchanged, the fragrance is added
In addition to the external packaging, if you buy home or worry about fake, you can open it, pour a little into the napkin, if the color of the halo is uniform, it is more mellow, if the color is gradient, there is a circle of watermarks on the outermost periphery, it may be blended; you can also smell the wine, the normal wine aroma will change, slowly fade, if the wine aroma is persistent, even if there is a miscellaneous taste, it must have added flavor and other additives.
Professional Grade: Look at the grape variety and origin
We often see the names of Ceburna, Cabernet Sauvignon and other names on the bottle, these are the names of the grapes that make this wine, but some appellations are mixed wines, generally do not name the grape names, for example, the names of the grape varieties appear on the bottles of Bordeaux in France, which must be fake, because the wines in the Bordeaux region are at least made of 2 to 3 kinds of grapes. In addition, some wine regions have their own unique grape varieties, which are also false if the grape name appears in wines from other regions, such as Pinotage(Pinnacle Tagy) wines that belong only to South Africa.
