It's cold, many friends who like to drink will drink some liquor to warm up, a Heilongjiang wine friend told me that it is very cold when it snows there, and asked me if the liquor can be heated and drunk?
Indeed, there is an allusion to the "hero of cooking wine" in ancient times, which has always inspired us. Nowadays, the process of liquor is constantly optimized and improved, and the winemaking technology is becoming more and more sophisticated, do you still need to heat the wine to drink?
Share with you some of your own views, good wine is to drink for yourself, suitable for yourself is the best, drinking should be seen. I hope you have all benefited from reading this article.
How is alcohol broken down in the human body?
To say that the problem of wine we have to first talk about how alcohol is metabolized in the body, we often say that drinking alcohol hurts the liver, mainly because the decomposition or oxidation process of alcohol needs to be carried out in the liver, alcohol into the liver will be a substance called alcohol dehydrogenase ethanol into acetaldehyde, acetaldehyde is then by another substance called aldehyde dehydrogenase acetaldehyde into acetic acid, after some chemical reactions in the body finally become carbon dioxide and water discharged out of the body.
What are the benefits of liquor heating?
We all know that the wine not only contains ethanol but also contains a certain amount of methanol and acetaldehyde, the nature of methanol is unstable, the boiling point of ethanol is at 78 degrees Celsius, the boiling point of methanol is 64.7 degrees Celsius, and the methanol in the heated liquor is volatilized, so it is not easy to hurt the health of drinkers, mainly because methanol will cause certain damage to people's vision. The boiling point of acetaldehyde is only 21 ° C, and it can be evaporated by heating it with a hot water bath. Acetaldehyde is the primary factor in triggering drunkenness. Its presence will increase the spicy taste of the wine, the intake is high, drinking wine is easy to get headaches, after heating, the concentration of acetaldehyde is reduced, and the spicy taste is also reduced, which is better to enter the throat.
How much is the right heating temperature?
Wine heating is not too much, too much is easy to hurt our lungs, so when drinking wine is not cold and not hot time to drink, it is generally recommended that the temperature of the entrance of liquor in 30-40 degrees Celsius can be, too hot the ethanol in the wine is volatilized, the taste will not be too good, and the heated wine is not felt, but unconsciously will drink more drunk.
What is the disadvantage of white wine heating?
If the heating temperature of liquor exceeds 60 degrees, the aromatic fat in the wine will evaporate when it meets heat, which will cause the aroma of the wine to fade. During the heating process, the alcohol will also volatilize some, if overheated, most or all of the ethanol volatilizes, and the wine taste will be gone. At the same time, alcohol is easy to smoke into the eyes, easy to hurt the eyes.
What to pay attention to when heating liquor?
When the wine is hot, instead of boiling the wine in a pot, you can put hot water in a clean bowl, and then put the white wine glass in the bowl, and it will heat up soon. At the same time, the heating time should not be too long, and the temperature of the wine should be 30-40 ° C as much as possible.
Is all liquor suitable for heating?
In fact, with the continuous development of modern winemaking technology, strict quality management has controlled the content of harmful substances within the safe range, as long as the liquor that meets the quality requirements generally does not need to use the "hot wine" method to remove harmful substances in the wine.
In addition to some small rural workshops brewed their own wine, the equipment itself is not very advanced, the brewed liquor contains methanol, acetaldehyde, fusel oil that is not conducive to good health can not be removed, so it is easy to drink, drunk uncomfortable. All this type of liquor is better for the body when properly heated and drunk.
If we drink wine today, we still copy the set of the ancients, and also heat up all the liquor to drink, it is possible not only to volatilize the alcohol, but also to evaporate those other substances that are important to the flavor of the liquor, such as esters, so that no matter how good the wine is, it will be tasteless to drink, and it is also a waste of good wine.
Although it is "happy to meet the wine, the wine is known to be a thousand cups less", but cold wine hurts the stomach, hot wine hurts the lungs, no wine sad! It is still recommended that you drink in moderation and never cow drink.
