Why is Lafite in' 82 expensive?

Whether you like drinking red wine or not, you have basically heard of "Lafite in' 82" because its name is too loud. In early Hong Kong films, almost all of them have its lens. Many people will have a doubt, that is, the 82-year-old Lafite has been "expired" for 38 years. Why can a bottle still sell for 1, now, and can it still be drunk?

First of all, tell me the origin of Lafite in' 82.

There are many producing areas of red wine, but if we want to say that it has the longest history and the best quality, it will belong to France. The 82-year-old Lafite red wine was born in Lafite Village, one of the most famous wineries in France. It is said that the climate in 1982 was very good, which was very suitable for the growth of grapes. The grapes of that year were very high quality, especially suitable for brewing red wine.

coupled with the excellent wine-making technology of Lafite Village, Lafite 82 with "legendary" color was born. Of course, it can continue to be popular until now, and it can't be separated from excellent marketing methods and advertising. Otherwise, so many wines with better quality than Lafite in 1982 are not so hot and the price is far less expensive.

Next, is the' 82 Lafite expired?

In essence, red wine is similar to white wine, both of which have no shelf life and only the best drinking period. The best drinking period of general quality red wine is 5-8 years, and that of high quality red wine is 5-15 years. Even if the quality of Lafite is the top of the top, it has been 38 years since, no matter how well preserved, it has definitely passed the best drinking period.

secondly, can it still be drunk?

according to the above statement, the 82-year-old Lafite has now passed the best drinking period. The tannin in it has been exhausted, and the red wine has been over-oxidized, producing a lot of acids. After opening, there will be no unique mellow fragrance of red wine, but a strong sour taste, and the taste will become weak and pantothenic, far less than an ordinary bottle of red wine. So it's still drinkable, but it's hard to drink, and no one really opens it.

then, why is it still so expensive?

in p>82, the price of Lafite has been a growing trend. In 218, a bottle sold for 8, yuan, even higher if it was hyped. Then it can't taste good, why can it be sold at such an expensive price?

Because although it has no drinking value, it has collection significance and appreciation value. I bought it back not to drink, but to collect it because I like it, or simply to sell it after appreciation. Similarly, if there is 82-year-old Moutai, I believe that people who buy it rarely drink it, but basically collect it or sell it later.

finally, how many bottles are there? Why do you still have it?

According to the records of Lafite Village, at that time, a * * * produced 24, bottles (or 22, bottles), which were sold in batches that year. Even the 15% kept by the winery had been sold long ago. Then why is it still there? There are two reasons. First, some of them are not drunk at all, but circulated in the hands of collectors.

Secondly, there are too many fake 82-year Lafite. Not to mention other places, in our country alone, I'm afraid we drink more than 24 thousand bottles a year. But how much is true is unknown. It is precisely because of these two points that some people say that Lafite will never be finished in 1982. As long as there is enough money, it will be bought.

in addition, a little digression. Someone secretly asked me backstage,' 82 Lafite red wine can sell for 1, yuan, but why can't' 82 Maotai sell so expensive?

There are two reasons. First, the topic is not enough. In 1982, Lafite was given a legendary color, while in 1982, Maotai had no story and lacked hype. Second, scarcity is not enough. Lafite in' 82 was very rare, but Maotai in' 82 was many. Moutai factory, there are still 82 years of puree wine.

In fact, Maotai in 1982 was not cheap either. It was about 6, to 7, yuan if it was in good condition. There is even 66-year-old Moutai, which is more expensive. It's just that the liquidity is not strong, and it's not as popular as Lafite in' 82. Plus, the attention is not high, so everyone feels that the price is not expensive, but it is not cheap at all.

Lafite in p>82 is "expired". Why can a bottle still sell for 1, now? Can I still drink it? To put it simply, the 82-year-old Lafite has already expired. Although it can be drunk, its taste is very poor. The reason why it is so expensive is that it has collection significance and appreciation value.
