People who understand wine know that old wine is better than new wine, and they are willing to drink old wine. The word old wine, as the name suggests, is an authoritative wine in the vintage, and not only the vintage is long, but the wine quality must also be good, in order to be considered a good old wine.
Wine is not only getting older and more fragrant, but it will also become more and more expensive. Nowadays, fine wine is not only used for tasting, but its rich collection value is constantly recognized by people who love wine. The reason is that wine contains a prehistory civilization, brand culture and memory civilization.
So what kind of wine is old wine? Are there any standards for old wine? Why is old wine so sought after?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" what kind of wine can be counted as old wine >? </h1>
When it comes to old wine, I believe that the first reaction of wine friends is "old", for a long time, this is the vintage I want to say.
Generally speaking, a bottle of liquor that can be called an old wine is at least more than three years out of the factory, which is also the minimum standard for collection.
A little higher is more than 5 years, more than 5 years of liquor, the maturity is relatively ideal; but the real can be called old wine, at least it is the kind of liquor that has been stored for more than 10 years.
Secondly, the second criterion for old wine collection is the alcohol content. Usually, the alcohol content is 50-53 degrees Baijiu is the best, because the ratio of the hydrogen bond association reaction between the ethanol molecule and the water molecule at this time is the best. If the collection is low-grade liquor, the taste of liquor will change with time and environmental changes, and the alcohol content will be greatly reduced, which will not meet the standards of our fine wine.
Finally, this is the key to collecting liquor. That's what we often call the production process of liquor. The liquor that can really be collected is fermented from pure grain solid grain wine. If it is a liquor mixed with liquid alcohol, even if it is left for a long time, it will not have any collection value.
The following consumer jun has compiled a representative and sexual definition of old wine:
The narrow scope of old wine, also known as aged liquor, has not reached a clear and unified standard in the definition of old wine, there are official standards of institutional associations, and there are also personal understanding and measurement.
The definition of aged liquor by the official organization of the China Collectors Association: liquor produced legally by the Chinese people, bottled and produced, and stored for a period of time, without any artificial appearance change, liquor with high collection value and economic value.
The standard definition of aged liquor by the official organization of the China Liquor Industry Association is: it is brewed by enterprises with liquor production qualifications in the traditional liquor (solid-state method, semi-solid-state method), which is more than 10 years old and is well stored in the liquor products.
Definition of the standard of aged old wine by the group of senior folk old wine collectors: Aged old wine specifically refers to a certain number of years of liquor brewed by pure grain solid fermentation method before 1993. Before 1993, the production of liquor was a pure grain solid fermentation method, which is a boundary generally recognized by the old wine collection community. After 1993, China has implemented the liquid method of liquor, that is, the industry standard for edible alcohol allocation liquor.

1. Scarcity
Now there are fewer and fewer old wines stored in the folk, and the value of scarcity is increasing day by day. The value of old wine is highlighted, and many aged wines are excavated from the old warehouses or corners of the home that have been sleeping for many years, and they are seen again.
2. The collection value and value preservation and appreciation of old wine
The scarcity and non-reproducibility of old wine make it have great potential for value preservation and appreciation. It has also directly led to the old wine becoming the new darling of the collection investment market. In recent years, old wine is one of the few investment varieties that has steadily increased in value every year. In the field of collection, old wine is also a variety that can be quickly traded and realized.
3. The drinking experience of old wine is pleasant
The mellow taste of the old wine, from the entrance to the spread to the aftertaste, is soft, thick and fragrant, covering every link. This good drinking experience is like a jade liquid jelly that nature and time have given us. This anticipation before opening a bottle of old wine, the taste and play after opening the cap, and the magical change in the taste of the first and last sips of an old bottle of wine.
4. The special sociability of old wine
A bottle of precious old wine can be given as a gift to an important guest, which is a "temptation" that no one can refuse, he is either rich or noble, but he cannot refuse old wine!
