As a liquor taster, I know that the classification of liquor quality is very important for consumers to choose the right liquor for them. Below, I will introduce the classification of liquor quality in detail to help you better understand and identify different types of liquor.
First, let's take a look at solid-state liquor.
This kind of liquor is brewed by the traditional solid-state fermentation process, and the liquor quality is good, with the characteristics of rich aroma, soft taste, sweet and refreshing, and long aftertaste. In the market, high-end products of well-known brands such as Moutai and Luzhou Laojiao belong to this type. On tasting, you can feel the deep aromas and rich layers of these wines, with a long and lingering finish.
Next is the liquid liquor
This liquor uses a liquid fermentation process, which can be slightly thinner in taste and aroma compared to solid-state liquor. Some of the low- and medium-priced liquors on the market fall into this category. When tasting, you will find that these wines are relatively refreshing, but the aroma and depth may not be as rich as that of solid-state liquors.
In addition to classifying liquor according to fermentation method, we can also distinguish baijiu according to its aroma type.
Strong-flavored liquor is characterized by a strong aroma, of which Wuliangye is the leader, sauce-flavored liquor is characterized by prominent sauce aroma and mellow taste, represented by Moutai, rice-flavored liquor has a unique rice aroma, such as Guilin Sanhua liquor, and light-flavored liquor is loved by consumers for its pure fragrance and soft taste, such as Fenjiu.
When identifying liquor, we can judge by observing the color of the liquor, smelling the aroma of the liquor, tasting the taste of the liquor, and feeling the aftertaste of the liquor.
A high-quality liquor should be colorless and transparent, no suspended solids, no precipitation, and have a strong aroma, soft taste, and a long aftertaste. If the wine is cloudy, has suspended solids or sediments, or has a pungent aroma and a spicy taste, then the quality of the wine may not be good.
Different types of baijiu are different in taste, aroma and characteristics, and consumers can choose the liquor that suits them according to their taste preferences.
