Only then did I know that self-brewing "medicinal wine" is not simple, and these few easy mistakes must be paid attention to, and remember that there is no loss
As the saying goes, the body is the capital of life.
When people reach a certain age, they will always involuntarily seek the way of "health preservation", the tea in the tea cup has become wolfberry and chrysanthemum, and the once luxurious meal has begun to make people feel "greasy", and even drinking wine has become necessary to soak some herbs in the wine, which can be said to be "doing everything".
Theoretically, wine made from herbal soaking should be considered a type of dew wine, but it is generally higher on the market. In order to pursue cost-effectiveness, many people choose to "brew medicinal wine" with herbs at home.
So, is it reliable to brew your own medicinal wine?Can I drink it with confidence?From recent news reports, it can be understood that brewing medicinal wine is not as simple as imagined, and the slightest carelessness may lead to accidents, especially when choosing herbs, if you do not understand the nature of its medicinal properties, you may get twice the result with half the effort.
However, this is not to say that it cannot be drunk, after all, most people will seek professional advice and pairing when soaking wine, and most of the problems of medicinal properties can be solved. As for the taboos that need to be avoided during the brewing process?
In order to answer this concern, the author consulted a "wine master". He pointed out that there are two mistakes that are easy to make in the process of soaking wine, and he suggested that friends who need to soak wine must keep it in mind.
Mistake 1: Using precious herbs and blending inferior wines.
Many people make wine at home, on the one hand, for the convenience of drinking at any time, and on the other hand, they are worried that the ingredients sold outside are not good enough, so they go to great lengths to find precious herbs.
However, the more people who use precious herbs, the easier it is to overlook the basic quality of the wine. As everyone knows, no matter how good the raw materials are, it is futile to meet inferior wine, not only may there be problems in efficacy, but even the taste will be greatly reduced.
There are many types of alcohol on the market today, and the more expensive the better, unlike herbs. Pure grain wine can be selected by the following three bottle identifications:
There are no words such as "edible flavors" on the ingredient list.
It is marked as "**fragrance", not "**flavor" and "style".
The quality grade is marked as excellent.
At the same time, it should be noted that it is necessary to choose alcohol that meets the above standards from formal channels, and there is a lack of market supervision to prevent the purchase of inferior products.
Mistake 2: Feel free to use sparkling wine containers.
Whether it is soaking or brewing, it needs to be operated in a clean and non-toxic container.
Many people tend to be "haphazard" when it comes to soaking wine, with some arguing that high-quality herbs need to be paired with high-quality utensils, so they buy metal containers specifically;Others use washed plastic barrels to make wine.
In fact, alcohol is corrosive to metals and plastics, and prolonged exposure may release toxic substances, while some components of plastics are more likely to dissolve in liquor and cause toxic reactions.
Therefore, the right soaking container should choose a pottery jar or glassware, which is both safe and harmless.
Overall, in the author's opinion, "no matter how good the medicinal wine is, it should not be greedy for a cup", let alone a substitute for medicine. Daily drinking needs to be cautious, it is best to choose pure grain wine to meet the demand, especially in winter when drinking frequently, you can try "warm wine", improve the aroma and taste of the wine, but also help the stomach more comfortable.
As for pure grain wine suitable for daily drinking, it is best to choose a product with high cost performance and good wine quality. At present, the phenomenon of "brand premium" in the market is serious, and you can choose from some old wineries that focus on wine quality, and the following two are the word-of-mouth wines that are widely evaluated by old wines. Yuande Fangtai Liquor uses red tassel glutinous sorghum as raw material and adopts the "Daqu Kunsha" process, and the winemakers are well aware of the uniqueness of glutinous sorghum, using its high content of tannins, starch and the characteristics of thick skin and small grains, giving the wine a rich and layered feeling. Adhering to the century-old tradition and following the "12987" standard, the vinification cycle is one year, and the cellaring time is up to seven years, creating a complex flavor and the characteristics of an old wine. The aroma of the wine is refreshing, rich and dreamy, exuding the aroma of grain and flowers and fruits. The taste is delicate and warm, harmonious and balanced, as if you are in a fairyland, which is intoxicating. This imitation Taiwanese wine shows a unique charm on the palate, making it a very satisfying wine.
Another Bingheng old liquor is cleverly blended with 18-year-old base liquor and 30-year-old liquor, which is as famous as Moutai. It is operated by the descendants of one of the three major burning workshops of Moutai, and the technique is old and exquisite. The sauce is rich in aroma, rich and harmonious in taste, and has a long aftertaste, like tasting a beautiful story. This old wine shows the unique taste charm of Bingheng, which is a story of ingenuity inheritance and an intoxicating taste journey.
Bingheng old wine is not only a bottle of wine, but also a story of ingenuity and inheritance, and an intoxicating taste journey. "
