Learning to value old wine is now a skill. When you get a bottle of old wine, how do you know if it's worth anything? We are actually very simple, you only need to judge from the following points:
The first thing to know about the drinking value of this old bottle is that Chinese baijiu usually has no expiration date. Wine in the storage process, will produce a variety of ester substances, is commonly known as the "alcohol" process. Various esters will produce a variety of special aromas, but this alcoholization is very slow, so the longer the liquor is usually stored, the better. Among them, high liquor brewed with pure grain is the most suitable for long-term storage.
Secondly, look at the vintage liquor, wine bottle, wine label, wine packaging, and even the marks engraved on the wine bottle over the years, which all reflect the characteristics and branding of that era, giving the people who experienced that era a strong sense of nostalgia. Even if you have not gone through that era, you can feel the heavy power. From 1952 to 1989, the state organized a total of 5 range of wine evaluation, has selected 17 kinds of national famous liquor, covering what we often say "four wines", "eight wines" and "seventeen wines". They are: Maotai wine, Fenjiu, Laojiao, Wuliangye, Dong wine, Xifeng wine, Yanghe Daqu, Shuanggou Daqu, Lang wine, Jiannan chun, Quanxing Daqu, Gujing Gong Wine, Song River grain liquor, special Yellow Crane Tower, wine, wine, Tuopai Qu wine. The famous wines of these countries have a long history, stable and reliable quality, and are in the first line of old wine collection. In addition, some of the national quality wines that won the second prize that year, as well as "provincial excellence" and "Ministry excellence" and local famous wines from all over the country can also be included in the collection. From the age division, generally speaking, after the founding of the last century to the late 1990s before the old wine is the most valuable collection. At that time, it was a planned economy, and each wine was not based on economic benefits, and even did not consider output and cost in production, but achieved good wine. Of course, now there are also a lot of baijiu to restore the traditional process of brewing good products, its packaging is impeccable, into the collection of such a good wine after a few years is not also antique wine?
A bottle of wine with a particularly good image can always add a lot of points, so in the process of judging, you can simply look at the packaging of old wine.
Finally, check the seal of the old wine. First, it can identify the true or false of the old wine. Second, you can see whether the old wine has signs of running wine. Can help us determine whether the old wine is worth anything. Identification of old wines is crucial for wine collectors, and fakes have always been banned, as has alcohol. The manufacture and sale of fake wine has always been a major event that harms the interests of enterprises and harms the health and safety of consumers, which also brings trouble to the collection of old wine. Therefore, the old wine collection must be through the regular old wine operation channels, must not be small and lose big. When you learn how to judge whether a bottle of old wine is worth money, it is natural to distinguish between true and false.
