Burning Tweets! To enjoy a glass of wine, you must learn to be patient and industrious, as the proverb goes, the early bird gets the worm, and the same goes for wine. Now, let's unveil the mystery of baijiu aging, explore the uniqueness of baijiu storage, and explore the scientific mystery of liquor aroma.
Each bottle of liquor contains the hard work and ingenuity of the brewer. The storage of baijiu is not waiting for it to become delicious automatically, just like we treat flowers, it needs to be cared for. The technique of storing baijiu is like providing the right soil and environment for the flowers, and only if you water it carefully can you make a good wine with a good taste.
However, one might ask, why is aged baijiu more aromatic? This mainly refers to the sauce-flavored liquor, which after a certain period of aging, through a series of physical and chemical changes, the taste becomes more mellow and the aroma is more intense, this magical process is called "aging". For sauce-flavored liquor, it usually needs to go through more than three years of storage, that is, the aging process.
So, why is soy sauce wine suitable for long-term storage? This is actually related to the brewing process of sauce-flavored liquor. With a certain period of storage, the aldehydes in the liquor will continue to oxidize to carboxylic acids, and then esterify with alcohol to produce ethyl acetate with aromatic odor, making the liquor more mellow and the aroma more intense. It's a natural aesthetic evolution that makes baijiu even more appealing.
Of course, not all wines follow the rule of "the older you get, the more fragrant you get". This rule is more applicable to high-grade baijiu, because only when high-grade baijiu is continuously oxidized during the aging process, more ethyl acetate will be generated, so that the quality of the liquor can be improved.
In general, the aging process of baijiu is a complex process of physical and chemical change, and the key is to grasp the "degree" of time. The aging of liquor is like a journey of growth of liquor, which requires us to taste and feel with our hearts, and finally enjoy the wonderful taste of the older it becomes.
In the process, we should also learn to respect the individuality of the wine, and each bottle has its own unique taste, just as everyone has a different story. Treasure your wines and let them taste better and better over time. This is the true meaning of wine tasting, each bottle of wine is a mark of time, waiting for us to discover and taste.
