Although people do not have three, six, nine, etc., but there is wine!
Otherwise, why is the price difference so big for liquor on the market, as long as a dozen yuan a bottle, and expensive wine can be called "liquid gold", a bottle will cost thousands, or even tens of thousands of yuan.
In fact, when the price of liquor is separated from the true value of the product, it has little to do with the quality of liquor, and it is more about the brand premium and scarcity behind liquor.
How much does a bottle of wine really cost? Here's an example of the sauce wine with the highest brewing cost:
The cost of brewing raw materials: to make a pound of sauce wine requires 5 kg of glutinous sorghum, the market price is 5 yuan a catty; it takes 3.5 kg of wheat koji, the market price is 1 yuan a catty, and the labor cost is about 5 yuan per catty.
Packaging cost: each ordinary wine bottle is about 2 yuan, labeling 0.5 yuan, outer packaging cardboard box 5 yuan.
The above total: 3.5x1 + 5x5 + 5 + (2 + 0.5 + 5) = 41 yuan
The price of a bottle of good sauce wine is hundreds at every turn, which shows how big the profit margin is.
In this way, liquor is not as expensive as possible, and for ordinary people, there is really no need to "pay IQ tax".
So what kind of liquor is good? Here is also an example of miso sake.
Whether the wine quality is good or not, grain is the key.
In general, the production of sauce wine distilleries are very high requirements for grain, brewing sorghum, each grain is full of particles, crystal clear, this kind of sorghum thick skin, small grain, high starch content, and not easy to break.
Only with such sorghum winemaking can it withstand 9 times of repeated cooking, although it is more laborious, but the quality of the wine is extremely high!
In addition, long-term cellaring is also very important.
There are many liquors on the market, all of which advertise themselves as decades-old to attract people's attention.
In fact, the cellar is indeed very important, especially for soy sauce wine, among which Jun Zhongyuan's private cellar time is as long as 5 years, which is brewed by Zeng Chuanzheng (a disciple of Li Xingfa, the father of sauce).
After a long period of cellaring, the wine becomes more and more aged, the wine is slightly yellowed, the aromatic substances inside are more abundant, and the rich sauce aroma can be smelled when the lid is opened.
Take a sip, the wine is mellow and delicate, the sauce taste is pure and prominent, the taste is very mellow, the throat is smooth, the wine aroma stays in the mouth for a long time, and the aftertaste is endless!
It can be seen that in order to make a good wine, good raw materials and long-term cellaring are indispensable.
However, when choosing wine in the supermarket, we can't see how the wine is brewed, so how to distinguish the good and bad wine in the supermarket and choose the real pure grain good wine?
Here to summarize the "two points" experience for everyone, let's take a look at it.
The first point: the raw materials for pure grain and good wine are simple, only water and grain.
The so-called pure grain wine, that is, only grain and water brewed liquor, is not required to add any additives to flavor, raw material table naturally will not appear excess ingredients.
The reason why there is no need to add any additives is because the grain will produce a lot of aroma after repeated fermentation, and the brewed liquor not only has a rich layered wine aroma, but also has a very good taste, so no additives are needed to flavor it.
The second point: the taste of premium liquor is the best.
Baijiu is also divided into "three, six, nine and so on", according to the composition, degree, aroma, taste and other characteristics of the wine can be divided into excellent, first-class, second-class.
Among the common liquors on the market, premium liquor is already the best liquor, relatively speaking, both the taste and the overall quality of the wine are the best.
The next time you choose a wine, don't just look at the price, you may wish to try these two methods, as long as the liquor that meets these two conditions, the taste is very good.
The quality of a wine does not lie in the price and fame, there are many "nameless wines" on the market, all because of neglect of publicity, resulting in many people have not heard of it, it is a pity!
