I think today’s wine tastes better. The ancients probably used the traditional sealed fermentation method to make wine. Wine is a traditional culture inherited by the Chinese nation since ancient times. Since Du Kang invented wine, wine has developed in the history of the Chinese nation. The most important substance in wine is alcohol, whose scientific name is ethanol. In ancient times, people It is impossible to directly extract ethanol, so they can only use traditional fermentation methods. Taking advantage of the fact that sugar can be converted into alcohol during anaerobic respiration, they slowly produced wine, and there are many, exclusive The secret recipe for winemaking led to many different types of wines in ancient times, the more famous one being Nvren wine.

But ancient wine generally had very low alcohol content. This is because ancient brewing technology was underdeveloped and could only brew wine with a relatively low alcohol content. Therefore, in some ancient poems and articles, we can often see poets drinking thousands of glasses of wine when they are happy, as if they would never Part of the reason for not getting drunk was because the alcohol content at that time was relatively low and it was harder to get drunk, so you could drink a thousand cups without pouring it out. However, the low alcohol content of wine does not mean that ancient wine is not delicious. Ancient wine also has its own unique brewing methods and brewing environment. Because many brewing techniques have been lost, we cannot easily conclude that its taste must be better than The wine tastes bad now.

But in fact, the editor prefers modern wine to taste better, because now the brewing technology has become mature, and we can also brew liquor and beer with higher alcohol content, and beer is even more delicious. Made from barley, hops and other raw materials, the taste is sweeter and the alcoholic beverages are richer. In bars, there are many dazzling types of alcoholic beverages, and bartending has become an art. Not only does the wine taste great, but it is also very enjoyable to watch. So I prefer the current wine.
