What's the difference between vintage wine, aged wine, new wine, old wine and aged wine?

I believe that drinkers who have a little contact with liquor will have heard the saying of new wine, old wine, vintage wine, aged wine and aged wine, but I believe that few people really understand it, because there are many knowledge points, and some of them are misused by many businesses, such as a few hundred dollars of decades-old wine, but it tastes different.

So many people who drink are confused, but how do we know and choose these wines? Let's talk about this. Vintage wine: In fact, vintage wine in liquor refers to the time of cellaring, and liquor cellaring for a certain year is vintage wine. As the name implies, liquor stored for a certain year is cellared.

At present, China's liquor industry lacks corresponding industry standards and relevant laws and regulations for vintage wines, which leads to confusion in China's vintage wine market. Take 10 vintage wine on the market as an example. Most products don't have a whole bottle of white wine with a storage period of ten years, but only add a certain proportion of ten-year original wine (such as Maotai 30-year vintage wine) to the products.

Generally speaking, the longer the year, the higher the price. No matter it is Maotai-flavor liquor, Luzhou-flavor liquor or Fen-flavor liquor, there are different years of liquor. There are more kinds of vintage wines than aged wines and aged wines, ranging from tens of yuan to tens of thousands of yuan, and there are vintage wines in all price segments. Pit-aged wine: "Pit-aged wine" refers to the number of years of continuous use of pits to produce wine (because some wineries cannot guarantee to produce wine every year), and pit-aged wine refers to liquor brewed continuously in pits.

For example, 20-year aging refers to the cellar that produces basic wine, which has been used continuously for 20 years, but this wine has not been stored for 20 years. The so-called "old cellar makes good wine" is also reasonable. The number of brewing microorganisms in the pits that can make wine every year is relatively stable and abundant, so the pit age has a great relationship with the quality of wine.

New wine and old wine: As the name implies, new wine refers to wine that has just been distilled after fermentation. Compared with new wine, old wine is called aged wine. After being stored for a certain period of time, it is volatilized by aldehydes and other substances for a long time, and its irritation is reduced, and its taste is mellow and relatively soft.

Old wine: the word old wine often appears in the collection market of liquor. Before 1990s, China asked the liquor industry to keep improving. Compared with new wine, aged wine is a kind of wine with mellow, thick and soft taste (generally considered to be at least five years) after a period of storage from the date of canning to the reduction of irritation.
