Wine in the storage process, will produce a variety of ester substances, is commonly known as the "alcohol" process.

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".

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.
