The alcohol made from corn is corn alcohol. The wine made from corn is the worst, because the wine made from corn is particularly strong, so many people don't like it. Many wineries use liquid or solid methods to make wine, even without corn alcohol. So where is corn alcohol mainly used? It is mainly used to make ethanol gasoline. Northeast Grain Depot has a large number of aged grains, of which corn is made into ethanol gasoline.
Alcohol made from taro, potato stalk, sweet potato and sorghum stalk is called dry potato alcohol. Because these raw materials are very cheap, the production cost is very low, which is very popular among major wineries. As for the taste quality, there is no need to discuss it.
Alcohol made from sugarcane, sucrose and even sugarcane sugar waste is called molasses alcohol. Its production principle is to use fermentable substances in molasses.
So from the perspective of corn, potatoes and molasses, corn alcohol is the best, but it does not enter the wine market. Followed by potato alcohol, the worst is molasses alcohol.
At present, the alcohol used in most wineries is mainly dried potato alcohol and molasses alcohol, and the market price of these two alcohols is basically 4,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan a ton. The blending of 50-degree wine and 98-degree alcohol requires twice as much water, so the cost of 500 ml wine is only over one yuan. The cost of adding essence to a ton of wine is around 200 yuan, so the cost of a catty of wine brewed by liquid method is less than that of 2 yuan. But it is this kind of wine, gorgeous packaging and overwhelming advertisements that bombard consumers visually and audibly and dare to bid thousands of dollars.
