The way to distinguish blended wine

"A look": open a bottle of white wine, pour part of it in a glass, if you see the body is pure and flawless and colorless, or slightly yellow, but as long as the body is pure and transparent, then you can basically be sure that it is a pure grain wine; if it is cloudy and dull, then you can be sure that it is a pure grain wine; if it is cloudy and dull, then you can be sure that it is a pure grain wine; if it is cloudy and dull, then you can be sure that it is a pure grain wine. "The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products in the world," he said.

"Two smell": the so-called "wine is not afraid of the deep alley", so the wine fragrance is also to determine the authenticity of white wine standard. Open the white wine, smell, really good wine wine aroma is thick, sweet and slightly spicy, if the wine aroma mixed with sour flavor, that is "blended wine" fake wine undoubtedly, it is best not to drink.

"Three touch": pure grain wine in the grain essence is more sufficient, rich in esters, pour two drops of friction in the palm of the hand, there will be a silky smooth feeling and viscous feeling, in the smell of the palm of the hand has a lees flavor. If there is no such feeling, fake wine is exposed.

"Four products": white wine is the key to tasting wine, pure grain wine body full and rounded, just sip a mouthful of wine, slowly down the throat, will be able to taste the changes in the level of taste, long aftertaste and sweetness.

Difference between pure grain wine and blended wine

1, brewing raw materials

Solid-state method of liquor is mostly sorghum, wheat, rice, corn and other pure grain crops. Alcoholic wine, on the other hand, edible alcohol is fermented grain and water.

Edible alcohol raw materials: from the grain, potato, molasses three types of raw materials to see the quality of edible alcohol finished products, grain alcohol is optimal, followed by potato alcohol, the worst is molasses alcohol.

PS: The reason why the cost of alcohol is low is because very few companies use grain to produce edible alcohol, while potato and molasses alcohol costs much less, because the quality is also worse.

2. Logo

In 2005, the China Food Industry Association (CFIA) approved the use of the "Pure Grain Solid Fermented Alcoholic Liquor Logo" for 15 products of five brands, namely, Jiannanchun, Guizhou Maotai, Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, and Quanxing Daqu.

This move was made to counteract the chaotic situation in the market where alcoholic beverages are sold as pure grain liquor, but it doesn't seem to have worked so far.

3, production tools

Solid-state method of liquor production is very complex, only the brewing of white wine will need retort pot, boiler, cellar, stall cooler, grain crusher, big song crusher and so on a variety of things, not to mention the next mixing equipment, laboratory equipment and canning equipment. Liquid method of white wine, on the other hand, omitted the fermentation process, into the blending stage.
