As a traditional liquor preservation container, clay pots have certain advantages in the preservation of liquor. First of all, from the perspective of the material characteristics of the clay pot, the clay pot is made of natural clay fired at high temperature, which has good air permeability and moisture absorption. This characteristic makes the clay pot able to allow the liquor to exchange a certain amount of gas with the external environment when preserving the liquor, which is conducive to the aging and aging of the liquor. At the same time, the hygroscopicity of the clay pot can absorb part of the water in the wine, keeping the wine relatively stable.
Secondly, from the perspective of sealing performance, although the clay pot has a certain air permeability, its sealing performance is relatively weak. Therefore, when preserving liquor, it is necessary to pay attention to the sealing treatment of clay pots to prevent the volatilization of liquor and the invasion of external impurities. In order to enhance the sealing performance of the clay pot, some measures can be taken, such as using a sealing material with good sealing performance or applying a layer of sealant to the mouth of the clay pot.
Compared to other common preservation containers, clay pots have the following advantages in preserving liquor:
Compared with containers such as glass bottles, clay pots have better air permeability and moisture absorption, which is conducive to the aging and aging of baijiu.
As a traditional container, clay pots have a certain cultural heritage and collection value. For some high-end liquor or liquor with special cultural significance, the use of clay pots to preserve it can highlight its quality and value.
However, clay pots also have some shortcomings:
The sealing performance is relatively weak, and attention needs to be paid to the sealing treatment.
Clay pots are fragile and heavy, making them inconvenient to carry and transport.
Clay pots are more expensive to manufacture and are relatively expensive.
Based on the above analysis, it can be concluded that clay pots have certain advantages in preserving liquor, especially for high-end liquor that needs to be aged and aged or liquor with special cultural significance, clay pots are an ideal preservation container. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the sealing treatment of the clay pot and the convenience of carrying and transporting. At the same time, according to different needs and actual conditions, other types of preservation containers such as glass bottles, stainless steel jugs, etc. can also be considered to preserve liquor.
