In recent years, self-brewing medicinal wine has been very popular in the wine circle, especially in rural areas, and many drinkers either learn to make wine or try to buy self-brewed medicinal wine. In their view, these wines have "miraculous effects", not only beneficial to the body, but also relieve pain to a certain extent.
But opponents think that this is nonsense, a bottle of wine, which has so many effects, after all, it is just a drink. The two sides were at loggerheads, and neither could convince the other.
▶ Let's not talk about the so-called efficacy, let's first understand why so many people like to soak wine?
The reason is actually very simple, one is that self-soaking wine has become a folk custom, and Chinese people have had the habit of soaking wine since ancient times.
Second, limited by poor information, many people blindly believe that self-soaking wine has a magical effect, which is uncomfortable, targeted drinking can be alleviated, plus do not have to spend a lot of money, kill two birds with one stone.
Third, the concept of life has changed, and everyone pays more and more attention to health preservation, and regards self-sparkling wine as a "tool" on the road of health.
The fourth is the fluke mentality, the vast majority of people think that even if self-soaking wine is dangerous, it is impossible to encounter it, so they continue to soak wine with a fluke mentality.
▶ Speaking of which, can you really drink self-sparkling wine?
It should be clear that the ancient method of self-brewing wine passed down in ancient times is no problem, but in recent years, under the guidance of some capital, many winers have gone the wrong way and used poisonous snakes and other materials to make wine, such wine naturally cannot be drunk.
This shows that whether self-soaking wine can be drunk depends on the materials used, if ginseng, goji berries and other materials are used, supplemented by the above pure grain original brew, the brewed wine must be drinkable.
▶ In addition, there are 3 facts to know about self-infused wine:
(1) The cost is low
Self-soaking wine is essentially a spontaneous behavior, which does not involve a lot of labor or complicated processes, so its raw materials and time costs are very low.
(2) The flavor is different
Authentic self-brewing wine science adds the finest Chinese medicinal herbs to improve the flavor, so it is very chic to drink.
In a sense, the process of soaking wine is equivalent to a kind of cellaring, as time goes on, the wine will be more mature, and there will be more and more lipids, and drinking will naturally be more mellow.
(3) The base wine should be selected with high pure grain
Pure grain wine is chosen because it can make the alcohol molecules and nutrients in the medicinal herbs move, so as to ensure that the wine body contains medicinal aroma; High alcohol was chosen because the alcohol concentration was too low and not conducive to the dissolution of the active ingredients of Chinese medicinal materials.
It can be seen that self-sparkling wine not only takes into account the selection of materials, but also pays attention to the choice of base wine, and now many people think that the liquor market is mixed, the choice of base wine is impossible to start, if you also have such doubts, you may wish to take a look at the following 2 wines, are 100% pure grain brewing, not only high degree, texture is also very sparing.
Fengyun sauce father
This wine is a long-established wine in Guizhou, which can be regarded as the pride of Guijiu, and is brewed by the Fengyun Distillery built by Master Li Xingfa, the former head of Moutai.

In order to ensure the texture of the wine, Li Lao was on par with the sauce wine leader Yangscue in the selection of craftsmanship and raw materials, first determined the 12987 ancient method, and then identified the small red grain.
The texture of the new wine has been praised by many people, but it was still put into Li's wine cellar by Li Lao for 5 spring and autumn seasons, not only that, but it was later added to the 12-year heirloom wine to taste.
