"The years can't stand the ruin, I hold a pot of elixir in my hand, pouring it into the driving force of life, infinitely close to poetry and distance"!
A warm life is inseparable from the watering of wine; A good life, how can you let the wine grow old alone? Counting this year, I've been on the road to drinking for half of my life. Until one evening a few days ago, I had the pleasure of chatting with a senior elder.
Only then did I realize that I, who had been drinking for decades, had really drunk a split, isn't it ridiculous and pathetic at the same time? From the words of this elder, I finally learned: It turns out that they are king, have you ever drunk them? Next, let's take a look at what they are?
1. Shaanxi - Green-necked Xifeng
Green Neck Xifeng is the most classic one in the Xifeng wine series, with profound historical heritage and cultural characteristics, and is also deeply loved by middle-aged and elderly people because of its unique and novel aroma and mellow and pleasant population. The design of this wine is particularly simple and generous.
The price is also quite cheap, which is why it is misunderstood as "inferior sake". Truly experienced wine lovers will never pay attention to these, knowing that the taste of this wine is unique and novel, mellow and delicate, fragrant and intoxicating.
2. Shanxi - Huang Gai Bofen
After drinking it for decades, I found that Huang Gai Bofen is really delicious. The wine has a unique aromatic taste, coupled with an alcohol content of up to 53 degrees, so it has been given a nickname by wine lovers - Fatal 53. If you drink an average amount of alcohol, you still have to respect yourself.
The design of the wine is simple and generous, and the whole bottle is transparent and bright, and the body of the wine is very clear through the bottle. It can be said that this wine does not hide and completely presents itself in front of the eyes of drinking friends. In addition, the price is cheap, and it is not bad as a ration wine.
3. Shanxi - Lao Baifen wine
Shanxi is one of the concentrated production areas of liquor in mainland China, and Lao Baifen is one of the well-known liquor brands in Shanxi. Compared with other drinks, Lao Baifen can be said to be low-key at home. For decades, it has not had too much publicity, let alone indiscriminate price increases.
It is precisely because Lao Baifen is very cost-effective that he has gained the hearts of a large number of drinking friends. As an authentic aromatic liquor, it once dared to compete with Wuliangye, both in terms of wine quality and taste. Wine lovers, don't forget this wine.
Fourth, Sichuan - Jianzhuang highlights
The wine has been around for decades, but it has never been popular, and even many young drinkers do not know the "bottom line" of the wine. As a low-end brand of Wuliangye, it is not the core of the wine company, and it has not been promoted too much, but it has never forgotten to talk about the quality of the wine.
In my opinion, the drinking friends who can drink all of the above must be quite old now. On the contrary, young wine lovers don't know the stories of these wines, let alone the feelings they reflect. As far as I've observed, many young drinkers are drinking this one:
Guokang 1935, originated from Maotai Town Guokang Distillery, the distillery is located on the bank of the Chishui River, known as the "River of Fine Wine", covering an area of 60 acres, and has an independent koji-making workshop, where the climate is humid all year round, the clouds are shrouded, and the air is filled with microbial flora.
Since the establishment of the factory in 1993, Guokang has opened up a red cherry seed sorghum planting base, with a scale of up to 1,000 acres so far, with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of catties of high-quality red beams. This sorghum is simply made for soy sauce wine.
Its starch content is 90% and the tannin content is 2.5%, which is much higher than that of ordinary sorghum. In the process of brewing, soy sauce wine needs to be steamed many times, stir-fried many times, and taken many times, and ordinary sorghum will only be squeezed dry during the fifth high-temperature steaming.
The breakage rate is more than two percent, but the red beam has the characteristics of oblate, small, thick, dry, strong, etc., and has the characteristics of resistance to cooking, stir-frying, high temperature, etc., and can withstand the complex and long "toss" of the ancient method 12987 Daqukunsha technology.
The winery adheres to the traditional craftsmanship and uses 30-year-old cellar fermentation to lay the foundation for sorghum fermentation with a rich microbial flora. Distilled liquor needs to be aged in the pottery jar for a sufficient period of time, when the liquor is old enough to allow the harmful substances to evaporate.
The finished wine is here, which creates the characteristics of the wine with rich aroma, dense hops and slightly yellow liquor. Tasting this wine, the taste is mellow and sweet, as if silk slid over the tongue, the swallow is silky smooth, and the aroma of the wine will still be there tomorrow in the empty wine glass.
I was thinking that every wine that arrives must contain the mark of the times. If you want to feel the fireworks of different eras, you might as well take a good look at these "royal roads".
