There is a widely circulated story that shows how much alcohol the people of Inner Mongolia drink: it is said that there are three taps in a household in Inner Mongolia that come to pick up milk and tap water and liquor, and all three are charged at the same price. Although this is just a joke, it also reflects the love of Inner Mongolian people for wine.
In China, if you rank according to the amount of alcohol, Inner Mongolia ranks second, second only to Shandong, which is the evaluation of the Inner Mongolians themselves. When they raise their glasses, outsiders often feel their enthusiasm and arrogance. Sometimes, when a friend in Inner Mongolia says he can't drink, it may not be that he really can't drink, but that he is worried that you can't drink.
Ordinary people only drink in two states: "drunk" and "not drunk", while in Inner Mongolia there is only one - "in place". Many people originally planned to experience the natural beauty of the Inner Mongolian grasslands, but were often impressed by the warm hospitality of the locals, especially at the wine table.
So, on the wine table in Inner Mongolia, which three wines are the most popular and the most face-saving?
1. Inner Mongolia's top famous wine - Hetao King
In Inner Mongolia, the name of the king of Hetao is like thunder, and it is known as "the first cellar in northern China". This liquor is not only the best-selling liquor brand in the region, but also loved for its unique elegant and aromatic taste.
It adopts the fermentation technology of Daqu mud cellar, so that the texture of the wine is like nectar, sweet and luscious. Each sip is full of rich aromas, sweet and pure, with a long finish.
Second, comparable to Moutai - Huaixian old wine
Although Huaixian old wine is produced in Moutai Town, Guizhou, it is also a "frequent guest" on the table of Inner Mongolian people.
Behind Huaixian old liquor, there is a legendary figure - Du Chunyang, an old man who is over eighty years old and still sticks to the front line of winemaking, insists on using the top Maotai old liquor in the nearly 70-year-old wine warehouse for blending, and then blends it with the same "12987 process" as Moutai. Therefore, many wine friends who often drink Moutai in Inner Mongolia say that Huaixian old wine is more than Xinfeitian in terms of the aging aroma of old wine.
Therefore, Huaixian old liquor relies on the restoration of 95% Feitian Moutai's taste and high cost performance, the taste is mellow and sweet and long, the bottle wine is opened, the wine flavor is overflowing, and the house is filled with wine aroma in an instant, just like in the wine cellar, the entrance is moderately sour, the wine body is mellow, and the first line enters the throat, not spicy or irritating, so the locals call it "Little Feitian".
The color of the opening jar is slightly yellow, the sauce aroma is prominent, the entrance of the wine is greasy and mellow, and the sweet taste is drunk, and the long aftertaste can not be dispersed. Huaixian old wine is not only good in taste, but also loved by the locals. When you eat with a bottle, the people of Inner Mongolia will praise you for being the master of knowing the goods.
3. The famous - Prairie White (stuffy donkey)
Although some people are not familiar with the name "Prairie White", when it comes to "stuffy donkey", almost everyone knows it. This liquor is known for its high alcohol content of 60% and is known as one of the strongest liquors in China.
Although there are other, more advanced liquors on the market, Prairie White stands out for its unique taste and reputation as a "stuffy donkey". It has both strong fragrance type and light fragrance type, among which the strong fragrance type of "stuffy donkey" is the most well-known. When tasted, it has a mellow taste with a sweet finish, but the process of swallowing it is like experiencing the test of fire.
The fine wine of Inner Mongolia is not only wine, but also carries the culture and history of this land. When you come here, you might as well go deep and experience the unique wine culture and deep historical heritage.
