The mellow beauty of Yanghe wine - Yanghe Daqu

It is recorded in the "Chronicle of Suqian County" that when Qianlong went down to Jiangnan for the second time, he felt the mellow beauty of Yanghe's fine wine, and he did not want to leave for seven days, leaving behind a royal pen before leaving: "The Yanghe Daqu, the wine tastes mellow, and the really good wine is also." Yanghe sorghum wine in the "Republic of China" period was famous all over the world, and during this period it gained the reputation of international famous wine. In 1949, the third branch of Huaihai Trading Company was established, which was the predecessor of Yanghe Distillery. In September 1951, Yanghe House was renamed Yanghe Distillery, a monopoly business of the Northern Jiangsu Bureau, and in April 1953, it was again renamed as the local state-owned Yanghe Distillery, and later changed to Jiangsu Yanghe Distillery.

Yanghe Daqu Wine was rated as a famous wine in China at the 3rd, 4th and 5th National Wine Appraisal Conference, which is the representative of strong aromatic liquor, with the characteristics of "sweet, cotton, soft, clean and fragrant". This taste benefits from the mild weather in northern Jiangsu, the fertile land and the clear and sweet, unsophisticated beauty spring water, as well as the pure grain and simple brewing process of the early Yanghe River.

The Collection of Yanghe Daqu Wine is full of dazzling: "Dunhuang Brand" laminated glass bottle, "Yanghe Brand" beauty bottle, "Yanghe Brand" beauty bottle, as well as square bottles, special-shaped bottles, celadon bottles are colorful. Among them, the more concerned by liquor collectors are the "Dunhuang Brand" pressed glass bottle and the "Yanghe Brand" beauty bottle. These two wines were generally produced in the 1970s and early 1980s, and are not common in Tibetan circles, so they are also quite popular.

The beauty bottle of Yanghe Daqu wine in the 1980s is a must-have for collectors. The name of the beauty bottle is mainly derived from the fact that the bottle is shaped like the shape of an ancient lady, elegant and gentle, plus the whole bottle presents a blue color, looking at the wine body in the bottle through the glass bottle, for a time the wine and the bottle are integrated into one, and the manners are varied. Looking at the blue classic series produced by the foreign winery now, it is not difficult to glimpse the charm of the early beauty bottle aged Yanghe wine. As mentioned above, there are also vintages in the beauty bottle, of which the "Yanghe Brand" is a trademark used before the mid-1980s, while the "Yanghe Brand" is used later, so the collection price is slightly inferior.

The beauty bottle Yanghe has long become a classic, and although the blue classic series that came after it is a bit similar, its high-end luxury packaging has lost its original retro and simple taste.
