In China, a glass of baijiu often carries a strong emotional and cultural connotation. Whether it is a gathering of family and friends, or a business banquet, baijiu always plays an indispensable role. However, in the face of a dazzling array of liquor brands and different alcohol levels, many consumers can't help but ask: there are so many liquor degrees, how many degrees is the right amount to drink?
There is no fixed standard for choosing the degree of liquor. It depends on an individual's taste preferences, alcohol tolerance, and drinking habits.
First of all, you need to understand the relationship between the alcohol content and the drinking experience.
Generally speaking, the higher the degree of liquor, the greater the alcohol content and the stronger the taste. But that doesn't mean the higher the power, the better. Too high a degree may make people feel that the alcohol is too strong, and even affect the taste of other delicate aromas. Conversely, a liquor with a moderate or low alcohol content may have a softer taste and is more acceptable to most people.
What is the best degree of liquor to drink?
It really varies from person to person. Different people have different tolerances to alcohol and different drinking habits. Some professionals believe that 40 to 55 proof liquor is a more moderate choice. Baijiu within this range can not only maintain the unique aroma and taste of baijiu, but also will not make people feel irritated by the high degree.
In addition to the degree, the brand and brewing process of the baijiu will also affect the drinking experience.
Some well-known brands such as Moutai and Wuliangye have exquisite brewing technology so that even if the degree is high, there will be no strong alcohol stimulation, but can highlight the mellowness and aroma of baijiu.
In my own actual experience, for example, at a friend's party, we tried different degrees of liquor. Among them, a 52-proof liquor left a deep impression on me. This liquor has a soft and aromatic taste, and even with a high degree of alcohol, there is no pungent alcohol taste. In contrast, the other liquor with a lower degree is lighter in taste, but it is slightly inferior in terms of aroma and taste.
The health effects of alcohol cannot be ignored.
Regardless of the degree of liquor, excessive consumption can cause damage to the body. Therefore, drinking alcohol in moderation is key. For the average adult, men should not drink more than 25 grams of alcohol per day, and women should not drink more than 15 grams.
Different consumer groups also have different preferences for the alcohol content of liquor. Younger people may prefer low-alcohol baijiu because they are easier to drink, while experienced drinkers may prefer high-strength baijiu for a richer taste and aroma.
