Live the leisurely life of the mountain village

Chapter 530 Confidence
"If you know wine, it goes without saying. Choose what you like more within the scope of your ability."

“It can be higher-end for casual drinks or business banquets. For daily meals or home treats, the taste is acceptable to everyone, and it doesn’t need to be too high-end.”

"In short, after locking the money budget, it is convenient to choose, so as not to be confused by too many eyes."

Huayuelou took the words and said.

"But you still need to have a general direction for the choice of red wine. After all, there are so many kinds of red wine, it is impossible for you to try them one by one."

"That's right, the second husband knows our poor people better."

"Isn't that right, Lord Zhuang, is there no information that can give us some information when choosing red wine?"

……

Zhuang Qiu thought for a while, then spoke.

"Furthermore, there are four points. That is to look at the place of origin, category, appearance and aroma of red wine."

"As far as the place of origin is concerned, this is very complicated. But in the big picture, first look at whether the wine is from the New World or the wine from the Old World."

"Old world wines in Europe are generally more complex and elegant in taste, while new world wines are more lively and pleasing in taste. It's hard to say which is better, it depends on personal taste preference;"

"Then look at the production areas. Each red wine producing country has different production areas, each with its own style and quality. For example, Bordeaux and Burgundy in France have completely different styles."

"What is the new world and what is the old world?"

"Upstairs, you successfully asked my question."

"Hahaha, it turns out I'm not the only one who can't understand, so I can rest assured."

"Help, everyone turns out to be ordinary people without research."

"I suddenly feel that I have become more advanced."

……

Zhuang Qiu said with a smile.

"It's just red wine. It's no different from the white wine we usually drink. It's just because foreigners drink more. Why is it so high-end? Don't have such an idea. Let me tell you about our country's wine culture later. , give you a little bit of cultural confidence.”

"Hahaha, Master Zhuang is right."

"Sure enough, Master Zhuang with a good root."

"Zhuang Qiu is indeed YYDS. He is worthy of being the anchor who has been praised by the official several times. He is full of positive energy,"

……

"Go on, go on."

Zhuang Qiu realized that his topic was going too far, so he hurriedly took it back.

"The new world and the old world are actually two major divisions of the origin of red wine."

"There are many countries that produce red wine in the world. One of the methods of dividing the origin of red wine is divided into "Old World Red Wine" and "New World Red Wine."

"Old world wine generally refers to red wine produced in Europe (especially France and Italy), and they are slightly more expensive in the international market."

""New World Red Wine" refers to red wine produced in Australia, Chile and other countries."

"Australia and Chile are located in places with almost no environmental pollution due to their superior geographical location, so the red wines of Australia and Chile are very well-known in the international market. Australian red wine is colored with pure plant pigments extracted from the grape skin itself , it is a pioneering work in the red wine industry to use natural substances for coloring."

By the way, let me tell you something interesting.

Zhuang Qiu said with a smile.

"As far as country B where we are located is also a famous red wine producing area, you should know that when you mention the romantic country and red wine, the first country that comes to mind should be country B."

"Yes, yes, this is true."

Zhuang Qiu continued.

"There is an interesting episode between this red wine and country B."

"The red wine in country B used to be colored with pigments extracted from cow blood. The fear of mad cow disease once affected the sales of French red wine."

"There's another thing to say."

"It turns out that there is really mad cow disease. I thought it was just a curse thing."

"Fear of mad cow disease infection, which will affect the sales of red wine, hahaha, this world is really an interesting circle."

"I said, it doesn't matter that the color of ox blood is so similar to the color of red wine."

……

Zhuang Qiu said with a smile.

"The next thing is to look and sound."

"These two points may also be the best judgment for you, and the most effective judgment method."

"Classified according to the sugar content in wine, it can be divided into four types: dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, and sweet. When drinking dry wine, there is no sweetness, but the sour taste is obvious; when drinking semi-dry wine, there is a slight sweetness; when drinking semi-sweet wine, there is a slight sweetness; Sometimes it has a sweet and smooth feeling; when drinking sweet wine, it has a slightly sweet and drunk feeling."

"The appearance of the wine should be clear, transparent and shiny, and its color should match the name of the wine."

"Looking at the red wine from the top of the wine glass against a white background, cloudy is not good."

"Look at the speed at which the wine flows evenly from the glass wall. The slower the flow, the better the quality of the wine."

"Turn the wine glass at a 45-degree angle to observe the layer of water at the junction of the red wine and the glass wall. The wider it is, the higher the alcohol content."

"Different colors can appear at the junction of the water body and the wine body, showing the age of the wine."

“蓝色和淡紫色为3到5年酒龄。红砖色为5到6年。琥珀色为8到10年。橘红色说明已经过期了。”

"Wow! Niu, Master Zhuang, this is really a lot of work."

"Simple and direct, brutal and effective. Master Zhuang, please just introduce us to this place in the future."

"Let me just say, Lord Zhuang, if you are a teacher, you can probably let me go to junior high school."

"Upstairs, did your elementary school teacher jump into the well with you in his arms?"

"So I drank so much expired wine..."

"However, isn't the longer the wine is kept, the better, and it can still expire?"

……

Seeing this barrage, Zhuang Qiu immediately explained.

"Wine does not get better with age. After the peak period of wine aging, it will only go from bad to worse, just like a beauty also has a twilight time, and then gradually ages and enters a degeneration period. Therefore, wine also needs to be drunk at the right time to taste it. Flavor at its peak."

"The older the red wine is, the better it is. The year above the red wine refers to the year when the grapes are brewed. Most (99%) wines do not have the ability to age, and the best drinking period varies with different wines. , generally between 2-10 years."

"Only a small number of particularly good wines have the ability to age."

"Some of the top red wines in country B and Italy can age for decades or even hundreds of years. Many wines from top Bordeaux wineries are still suitable for drinking even if they have been preserved for more than a century."

"but!"

Zhuang Qiu explained carefully again.

"These are very few top wines that can be stored for such a long time."
