What's the difference between all kinds of fragrant liquors? Brewer Zhang Yuming taught you how to identify?

At present, the flags of Maotai-flavor liquor, Luzhou-flavor liquor, Fen-flavor liquor and concurrently-flavor liquor are inserted in the geographical map of China and flying everywhere.

So, the question is, what's the difference between these fragrances? Speaking of fragrance, let's talk about blending first. Because the flavor classification of China liquor originated from liquor blending. What? Blending is not an inferior means of unscrupulous wineries! How can the smell of liquor be related to this! Take a sip of water to calm your nerves. Listen to me.

To make an inappropriate metaphor, blending is like cooking. Only when raw materials and seasonings are properly matched can delicious food be made. What is the blending of liquor? Traditional blending is wine-to-wine, with different wine combinations. The quality of blending depends on the skill of the brewer and sometimes on the mood of the brewer. To put it bluntly, blending is one of the key factors affecting flavor. In fact, in the history of the development of China wine industry, the arrival of aroma grading era has experienced more than ten years of exploration.

From 65438 to 0952, eight famous brands such as liquor, yellow wine and wine were selected at the first wine tasting, which caused great shock in the whole country and the wine industry began to usher in a period of great development.

1963, the second national wine tasting, 27 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions * * * recommended 196 kinds of wine, including liquor, yellow wine, wine, beer and fruit wine. However, in the history of liquor development in this period, there was no clear distinction between the flavor types of liquor. All liquors are mixed together, and the judges write comments according to the color, aroma, taste and percentage system of liquor. After a round of elimination, the winner is finally decided.

1965, at the first national famous wine technical cooperation meeting held in Luzhou, Sichuan, the representative of Maotai read an article entitled "How do we hook wine", which opened the era of flavor classification of China liquor.

The description of liquor style was summarized at the third national wine tasting in 1979, and the scale was unified. Described as follows:

Maotai-flavor liquor: Maotai-flavor is outstanding, elegant and delicate, mellow and long aftertaste.

Luzhou-flavor liquor: strong cellar flavor, soft sweetness, harmonious flavor, clean tail and long fragrance.

Fen-flavor liquor: pure aroma, harmonious flavor, mellow and sweet taste and endless aftertaste.

Rice-flavored wine: elegant honey flavor, soft entrance, refreshing taste and pleasant aftertaste.

From a scientific point of view, the main aroma components of liquor are low-grade fatty acid esters and low-carbon carbonyl compounds; The main flavor substances are acids, higher fatty acid esters and polyols. In addition, phenolic compounds and aromatic compounds are also important flavor components of some wines.

Fragrance themes of different fragrance types:

Luzhou-flavor: ethyl caproate and ethyl butyrate.

Scent: ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate.

Maotai-flavor type: the ester composition is the most complex, and there are all kinds of esters, but the total content is lower than that of Luzhou-flavor type.

Fragrance is a standard, but there is no standard in the world. More people use the same method, so there will be a standard. Just as there is no road in the world, more people will become roads. Aroma is the attribute of products, and its origin is products. The biggest difference of this product, wine, comes from raw materials and technology, which leads to different tastes. Everyone has different tastes, and their favorite wines are naturally different. There is no need to give up a wine because of its flavor. Liquor is a traditional beverage, which has been popular for thousands of years. Learn more about liquor culture and drink more liquor. I believe you will love it.
