The cause of the incident was that a guest surnamed Xu and a friend went to Shanghai Seafood Restaurant for dinner and ordered a bottle of dry red from Yantai COFCO. Later, I found that my tongue and mouth turned black. I went to the hotel to settle accounts and called the police 1 10. Later, the Youth Daily reporter reported it, and it also involved the investigation of the responsibility of Yantai COFCO Shanghai distributor.
For people who know wine, it is very normal for their tongue and mouth to turn black when drinking red wine. For me who often drinks dry red wine in winter, if I don't use a toothbrush, my tongue will turn black every day. If I take part in an international wine competition and taste 60- 100 kinds of wine a day, I can basically become an ancient Japanese beauty, even my teeth are black.
For this incident, it seems that the popularization of wine knowledge is far from enough. Generally speaking, wine can have color on our tongue and mouth, which shows that the grapes used to brew this wine are very mature and basically belong to wines from warm regions or wines of good years. The wine is rich in quality, almost opaque in color, high in alcohol content, rich in grape essence, heavy in tannin and fruit flavor. If Mr. Xu drinks spirits from Australia and Chile,
This consumer surnamed Xu really belongs to ignorance of wine and makes trouble because of ignorance. This is no different from someone who once commented that I was a drinker and called me a liar. However, the Youth Daily reporter followed suit and reported the incident as an event. Curious and misunderstood by consumers, because the quality of some domestic wines has improved, I also went to Shanghai Youth Daily at 65438 on the afternoon of1October 5th. In order to explain why my tongue and mouth are black, I specially took a bottle of neutral Australian wine for them to drink, experienced how my tongue turned black, and told them how the color of a red wine came from. For example, natural red wine pigments are removed during fermentation. If you want to distinguish artificially added pigments, the simple way is to take a piece of white cloth. If it is natural red wine color, the pigment on white cloth is generally difficult to wash off, while the chemical pigment added artificially is easy to wash off. Moreover, it is particularly emphasized that there are very few enterprises that add artificial pigments in China. Later, my tongue became black with another newspaper editor, and these media people were convinced.
This incident reminds us that consumers are not necessarily right. The basic knowledge of wine needs to be popularized urgently. If the restaurant manager of the hotel knows about wine, the problem can be solved on the spot, and it can't be a media event at all. In addition, the sales staff of our winery also urgently need to know the basic knowledge of wine, especially the common sense of appreciation and identification. In addition, media people should have a sense of responsibility and judgment, and can't consult professionals themselves. It's not that some enterprises are unwilling to hold the media accountable and publish inaccurate reports at will!
