Advantages of pottery altar:

1. Many small holes will be formed in ceramic cans after firing at high temperature. These tiny holes can play a role in breathing during the storage of liquor, allowing external oxygen to slowly enter the liquor, and also promoting the esterification reaction of liquor, making the liquor taste more mellow.

2. Pottery jars contain a lot of trace elements such as iron, copper, calcium and magnesium, which will be dissolved in wine during storage. Wine molecules and water molecules are closely combined around these trace elements to form a stable macromolecular group.
