The title of "Wine Saint" is not a false name, it is composed of a variety of factors. He was first of all a heavy drinker.
During the Chongqing negotiations, at a banquet of several hundred people, Chinese and foreigners, various political parties and groups, military circles, business circles, cultural and artistic circles, etc., and representatives of all aspects of the capital at that time toasted to ***, and ** all drank instead. No one can tell how much alcohol they drank this time, and it made our security personnel and staff at the scene cry in distress!Still chic and free.
In 1935, the Red Army occupied Moutai Town, Guizhou, and in order to celebrate the victory, ** drank 25 glasses of Moutai wine in one breath without getting drunk.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was the prime minister and the first chief, and on many diplomatic occasions, he always drank with sincerity, and he always drank a lot, but no one had ever seen him drunk, nor had he seen it affect his work.
Secondly, ** understands wine very well, and is directly at the level of a sommelier. After a Lushan meeting, Jiangxi Province used the "camphor tree Daqu" produced in Jiangxi Province to entertain *** after drinking a little camphor tree Daqu and said: This wine has four characteristics "clear, fragrant, mellow, pure, and endless aftertaste." The manufacturers and the audience responded with warm applause. I think that the four characteristics of the camphor tree Daqu summarized by *** are very in place. Since then, Zhangshu Daqu has been renamed "Four Special Wine".
Again, at both international and domestic banquets, the tact and coping ability shown is unmatched. At the banquet deployed by Hu Zongnan in Xi'an in July 1943, ** not only controlled the overall situation of the banquet, won more than 60 people, but also made everyone happy. At the same time, use the wine banquet to hold down the killing machine.
In addition, ** has used China's wine culture to the extreme. In the 60s of the last century, the two gifts of wine to the world table tennis women's champion Matsuzaki Kimiyo are good examples.
In short, the title of "Wine Saint" is not in vain, but is composed of a variety of factors.
