The issue of whether drinking alcohol is good for our body has long attracted much attention.
As the world's top authoritative journal on clinical, public health and global health knowledge, The Lancet published an article related to "alcohol is a first-class carcinogen" as early as 2018, when many drinking friends were forced to quit drinking under the "supervision" of their families. Until now, the editor still remembers the hardships of the neighbor's uncle in order to be able to take a sip of wine.
However, a dramatic scene appeared, and in 2022, The Lancet suddenly changed its words, denying its previous statement that "alcohol is a first-class carcinogen" and adding: "moderate drinking may be beneficial to human health."
Such a hasty overthrow of his previous exposition has caused many netizens to ridicule: drink in moderation, but how much alcohol can be considered appropriate?
Therefore, it is not rigorous to draw conclusions directly without combining the actual drinking population, but excessive drinking will cause damage to our body.
So the question is: how can we reduce the damage caused by drinking?
The first and most basic condition is to choose pure grain wine when drinking, and try to avoid alcoholic wine.
The biggest difference between grain wine and alcoholic wine is that one is made by fermenting grain, while alcoholic wine is a mixture of alcohol extracted from ordinary grain crops such as potatoes. Because of its short brewing cycle and the pungent smell of the wine without treatment, in order to achieve a taste acceptable to the human body, a large number of synthetic substances have to be added to the wine jar: liquor flavor additives.
Food wine is naturally generated, and there is no effect on the human body (moderate drinking), which is why it is said that when drinking, choose pure grain wine and try to avoid alcoholic wine.
Today's liquor market is mixed, hundreds of liquor brands are dazzling, a little inattentive, even decades of old drunkards have to "plant the head", so the editor will teach you two tricks how to pick out those cheap and solid grain wines among so many liquors.
1. Don't buy the so-called "reduced" brand-name wine of large manufacturers
Don't be fooled by the dealer's so-called "big-name wine, price reduction promotion" can not find the north, you think you take advantage of the big bargain, but you don't know the name, packaging are original, but the wine inside is not necessarily original, where in the market there are so many "leaks" waiting for you to pick up.
2. Three "no" drinks: no label, no ingredient list, no implementation standard number
This kind of liquor products on the street, but when you see it, you will turn around and leave, if you really want to buy it home, we will not stop it, light is drunk, heavy is hospital gastric lavage, and then heavy... You savor.
3. Avoid products starting with the standard GB/T: 20821 and 20822 on the label of liquor
According to the latest national standard regulations for liquor released by the state in 2022, all liquor products with these two standard numbers in the bottle can no longer be called liquor, but should be collectively called prepared wine, that is, the alcohol blended wine mentioned above.
There are thousands of liquor on the market, drinking friends buy wine later according to the above method to choose, will find that there are actually a lot of solid materials, affordable and high-quality liquor products on the market, if it is really troublesome, do not put a look at the following two liquors, all of them are pure grain brewing, in the local wine circle has a fairly good reputation.
1. Tuo brand T68
Tuo brand T68 is distributed in low-end wine products as a Tuo brand, but it is extremely exquisite in the winemaking process.
The overall bottle body made of high-transparency glass has faded the complicated appearance of the past and highlighted its own elegant style. The wine uses the pure grain solid-state fermentation method, and selects six grain crops, and the resulting wine is more mellow and sweet in taste, and the wine flows through the throat smoothly and delicately, which is endlessly memorable.
Second, the father of Fengyun sauce
This 53° affordable sauce wine is from the hand of Li Xingfa, the first person in the field of sauce wine.
After Li Xingfa (former old director of Maotai) retired, the price of local sauce wine in Guizhou was abnormally high, and many liquor sellers saw the "business opportunity" and put a large number of imitation "sauce wine" into the wine market, wanting to take the opportunity to make a big profit, engaged in the entire liquor market black smoke miasma, consumer complaints continued, so the relevant departments went to the door to invite Master Li Xingfa to come out again, and jointly launched the "Fengyun Sauce Father" this wine.
Li Lao felt the heavy responsibility, so he did not hesitate to use the special "Sichuan South Red Sorghum" for Moutai, which has the characteristics of thick skin and high temperature resistance and high tannin content, so it has always been the first choice for Moutai brewing raw materials. After repeated high-temperature cooking, it can still maintain a low sand crushing rate, and retain the original grain aroma of the crop to the greatest extent. And different batches of base wine must be blended with the 12-year-old wine made by Li Laoqin according to different proportions, and only after five years of cellaring can it be made into wine.
Therefore, after opening the altar, there is a flavor of aged wine, the sauce is rich, the wall is obvious, the mellow wine is tasted in the mouth, the fruity aroma and grain aroma are intertwined, the overall coordination is just right, the aftertaste is long, and it is very pleasant.
