Because Guangdong's brandy culture is the strongest in the country.

As early as the19th century, Martell, a famous brandy brand, entered China for sale, and the Guangdong market was first opened up.

Especially the blue ribbon Martell blue ribbon is simply the "flying Maotai" on the Guangdong wine table.

If Wenzhou people's blood is full of money, then Guangdong people's blood is full of brandy!

A friend told me that he was most afraid of having dinner with Cantonese people. As soon as the table was opened, several bottles of brandy were placed on it. At least he knew something about VSOP and XO, and he was confused when he saw brandy.

It is also true that people in other places rarely drink brandy, let alone know about it.

In this article, Zheng Aote, I will talk about Martell and Blue Ribbon to break the mystery of brandy.

Therefore, we can also act as "brandy experts" in front of Cantonese!

In restaurants and bars, people usually refer to Martell as the blue ribbon for short.

Therefore, misunderstandings often occur.

Sometimes, you bravely say to others, "Dude, I'll buy you a blue ribbon today!" " "

But when I saw the other person's expression, I looked reluctant. Probably the other person understands it as "blue ribbon beer".

Blue ribbon beer (as shown below), only a few dollars a can, Martell with blue ribbon, a bottle of 700 ml, 16700, that's a big difference.

Therefore, if you want to treat someone, please say more, because these three words determine whether the other person is "sad face" or "smiling face".

Of course, as mentioned above, Martell is brandy, so Martell's blue ribbon is also brandy.

It is also what we often call "foreign wine", which belongs to the same type as remy martin XO wine.

At the dinner table, when talking about the origin of Martell Blue Ribbon, you can say:

"It is located in Konek, France. I say this, you may not know, but Bordeaux, France, you know, it is just above Bordeaux, on the north side of the river. "

"The left side of Cognac is close to Haikou, producing the most famous oyster-Guirado oyster."

In this way, the other party will have a general sense of direction.

Martell wears a blue ribbon and is easy to recognize at the dinner table.

The bottle body is all blue, and the packaging shell is all blue.

Moreover, there is a "blue ribbon"-a blue ribbon hanging from the bottle cap and hanging on the blue seal.

Of course, you can continue to talk about the meaning of blue.

In Europe, blue symbolizes loyalty and trust. When attending banquets and social occasions, blue gives people a feeling of calm and quiet.

In addition, the blue ribbon Martell Bordeaux-style wine bottle is solid and heavy, and the label is neat and symmetrical, just like the "national character face", and an elegant atmosphere is coming.

It is precisely because of this that 100 years, princes, nobles and celebrities have always favored Martell with blue ribbons.

No matter what kind of social occasion, "take it out" is a prerequisite!

Martell's blue ribbon wine label also has many unsolved mysteries, which is an interesting thing to talk about at the dinner table.

Like the swallow on the wine label.

Compared with previous generations of products, the lines of Martell Jin Yan logo with blue ribbon are more elegant and slender.

There is a legend in France that a swallow discovered cognac and immediately fell in love with this paradise-like place. He has flown here every year since then.

This swallow likes to explore the unknown century-the ocean and the mainland, and always flies tirelessly until one day, the swallow slowly turns into gold and comes to Cognac.

Jin Yan has an agreement with the world that as long as a bird flies in spring, it will be "summoned" and reappear in the world.

Later, Martell took Jin Yan as his symbol and encouraged himself to make efforts to produce high-quality brandy as always.

Also, the "three hammers" in the middle of the wine label

Marlett family crest is the symbol of Martell family, aiming at paying tribute to the ancient "oak barrel manufacturing technology".

Take a closer look. On the right side of the coat of arms are the words "EN 17 15", which means Martell Winery was founded in 17 15.

Therefore, kung fu lies in the details. Martell with blue ribbon is just a wine label, and there are many stories to tell.

Many times, in social situations, we often "don't know each other's true colors."

The stronger, the lower the profile.

For example, Coca-Cola, ordinary, is actually a "century-old brand" with a history of over 1886.

Especially Martell with blue ribbon.

You can say it is a century-old network celebrity wine!

Since the birth of 19 12, it has been selling like the moon.

Many people will think that remy martin XO is enough in brandy, and everything is luxurious.

But you can directly say, "Martell Blue Ribbon brand is far more influential and popular than XO remy martin, and its fame and status in the world are beyond your imagination."

From the place where it was born and listed, it decided the fate of its noble scenery.

19 12, world celebrities gathered at Paris Hotel Monaco to celebrate the birth of Martell Ribbon!

This Paris hotel is one of the most luxurious hotels in the world. It is also a leisure resort for the rich and nobles, and movies such as 007 are often filmed here.

In the next few years, Martell Ribbon wandered in one celebrity field after another and won numerous awards.

1936, boarded the world's largest and most luxurious cruise ship Queen Mary 1977, and became the cabin wine of supersonic Concorde.

Martell with blue ribbon is also a wine used in French state banquets. For example, in 1957, the French president entertained Queen Elizabeth II with Martell with a blue ribbon.

At the same time, it was given as a gift to foreign countries in 1963, to American President Kennedy in 197 1 and to Japanese Emperor Hirohito.

Its elite stars have many fans and are frequent visitors to movies and TV screens.

In 20 12, Martell celebrated Ribbon's centenary birthday in Paris Hotel, which was another grand gathering of celebrities from all walks of life.

Or, you can say, "Martell with Blue Ribbon, you are not drinking alcohol at all, but luxury goods, just like LV bags and Rolex watches."

In the world of brandy, what matters is the aging time of oak barrels.

As a result, brandy with grades of VS, VSOP and XO was also born.

Perhaps, someone will ask you: "Martell with blue ribbon, what grade of wine is it?"

You can't be speechless and can't say why.

Martell with Blue Ribbon is an XO wine, which is the same as remy martin XO.

(About remy martin XO, you can read the article "remy martin XO, Sexy in the Eyes of Middle-aged Rich People! 》)

Although, its wine label does not have the word "XO" like other XO wines.

It only marked the words "Extra Old" on the wine label, which is actually the full name of "XO".

At that time, XO wine needed to be aged in oak barrels for more than 6 years to become XO wine, while Martell with Blue Ribbon needed to blend for more than 6 years, ranging from 10 to 25 years.

"Martell with Blue Ribbon is a unique XO wine", you can comment like this.

Because XO wine likes to compete with the aging history of oak barrels, remy martin XO likes to shout: "My oak barrels have the longest aging time!" "

Who wants to say that "the longer brandy is aged in oak barrels, the better its quality"? Of course, this statement is one-sided.

Although in 2005, Martell re-launched Martell XO wine to meet this challenge.

On the other hand, Martell Blue Ribbon never compares the aging time of oak barrels with others, and even the oak barrels used are different from those used in remy martin.

Its 100 years of scenery is won by its unique taste.

When drinking Martell with blue ribbon, you will feel some obvious floral and fruity fragrance, which is quite special.

This is not felt in remy martin XO and Hennessy XO.

The reason, you can explain it this way,

"30% of the grape raw materials used in Martell ribbon come from Borderies, the smallest producing area in Cognac."

"The wine brewed in this place will have a strong fruity and floral fragrance. “

If I were to judge Martell's taste in Ribbon, I would say,

"The blue ribbon Martell gives people more of a pure feeling, a sense of original flavor of wine, or the original taste of wine."

"It's like the feeling of Japanese whisky. Of course, you may not have drunk Japanese whisky. Just like Japanese sashimi, it is pure natural and fresh, and seafood is fresh. "

Finally, I'd like to add: "It's like watching a lot of artificial beauties in the past and the acquired beauties in Korea. At this time, Song Hui Jing came over. Wow, this natural beauty is so special. "

Martell with blue ribbon, this is the impression.

It creates another world in the smell of cognac oak barrels.

Gourmets always like to match their food with Martell with blue ribbon.

Because Martell's blue ribbon is fresh and elegant, very dry.

You can say, "Let's just say Martell, who has a blue ribbon, is willing to be a green leaf. If you are beautiful and handsome, it will silently set off your beauty. "

If you are beautiful, I won't be like remy martin and Hennessy, but I will overshadow you with another kind of beauty and steal your thunder.

At the same time, Martell with blue ribbon tastes very dry and delicate. This dry does not mean "dry", but "not sweet" or similar to spicy taste.

In this way, gourmets like Martell with blue ribbon very much. It is not only XO wine, but also highlights the unique taste of food.

Therefore, you will see in restaurants that people who are keen on food often use Martell with blue ribbon to match various dishes. That's the reason.

Of course, you can also quote a comment from the food circle.

"Drink Martell with blue ribbon, that's' pondering'!"
