Nowadays, there are more and more styles of wine, and the main reason is that with the continuous progress and development of winemaking technology, the quality of wine produced in our country has also increased. So, who do you know about domestic red wine? How is it different from imported wine? Do you know the difference between them?

Let me introduce to you the differences in the age of the vines:

Chinese vines have been planted for a short period of time, and the wines produced are relatively thin, while French vines are generally planted for 20 years to produce AOC-level wines. Younger grapes can only be used for VDT and VDP. Wait for low-grade wine. Especially in the regions of France near the Atlantic coast, you can generally taste a very light salty taste in the wine.

Let me introduce to you the difference in wine color:

Chinese wines are brighter in color and look relatively new. Even aged domestic wines cannot see the color of foreign aged wines.

The color of French wine is more dignified. The older the wine is, the color of the wine is different from that of the new wine.

Let me introduce the difference between wine decanting:

Chinese wine generally does not need to be sobered, just drink it after opening the bottle. Even if it needs to be sobered, it only takes 10 minutes, but if the bottle is opened for more than 1 hour, the whole wine will be sour.

Generally, good wines in France need to be decanted for about half an hour or an hour after opening the bottle to achieve a good drinking state; the longer the aging time of high-grade wines, the longer the decanting time, the better the taste.

Let me introduce to you the difference between wine aromas:

There is no change in the taste of Chinese wines, and it feels that domestic wines are all the same; imported wines have a variety of aromas, even the most common general AOC wines will be in the glass with time. It may change from the beginning of fruity, plant or floral (rarely red wines) to dried fruit, pulp, bread, etc. The taste of wine made from different grapes depends on the use of grapes. , also has a kaleidoscopic taste. The aroma of the wine will vary from region to region and grape variety. In fact, if Chinese wines imitate Australia or the United States and other new world countries to mix wines, it is possible to brew wines that are more suitable for China's national conditions, but if they are seasoned with French wines, their taste may not be easy for Chinese people. accept.

Introduce you to wine caps:

The wine caps of red wine that are exchanged in China are generally made of soft plastic or heat-sealed plastic. After opening, the wine feels soft, light in weight, and most of the inner side has a dull and grayish color, which is generally soft plastic; Hard and inner texture showing a bright color, usually heat-sealed plastic.

The red wine imported from the original bottle in France is generally made of half-aluminum and half-iron aluminum foil material. .

Let me introduce to you the oak stopper:

The cork of the AOC-grade red wine that is redeemed in China is generally made of broken oak. As shown in the figure, there is no specific year of the grapes used on both sides of the cylinder, and the wine on the cork after opening the bottle is light, and there is basically no fruit. fragrant. For the AOC-grade red wine imported from the original bottle in France, the cork itself is generally made of a whole piece of oak. As shown in the figure, the year of the grapes used will be marked on both sides of the cylinder, and the wine on the cork after the bottle is opened is strong and fruity. Also denser.

Let me introduce you to the label:

Red wine that is exchanged in China or that illegal merchants mix red wine to pretend to be smuggled wine, the back label is generally in foreign language, and: ①Even if there is a Chinese back label, it is also affixed on the foreign language back label before delivery, which is two layers. Back label; ② The product barcode list appears on the foreign language back label, but not on the Chinese back label; ③ The milliliter number on the back label is no different in size from other fonts; ④ The general ingredients on the Chinese back label are written as "100% grape juice" ”; ⑤ The content of the back label in Chinese is incomplete or inconsistent with the corresponding content of the original label in foreign language.

If the red wine imported in the original bottle in France is authorized to a domestic company, its back label has been affixed with an exclusive Chinese back label before leaving the factory in France, and: ① The product barcode is printed on the Chinese back label, not another 2. The number of milliliters on the back label is larger than other fonts, and it is in accordance with the strict regulations of China's import and export wine labels; 3. The general ingredients on the back label will write "grape juice, sulfur dioxide" (every bottle of red wine contains this ingredient, It is an ingredient that helps the wine to stabilize); ④ The content of the Chinese back label is exactly the same as that of the corresponding original label; ⑤ The back label is printed with the name and address of the company authorized to sell in China.

The styles and styles of wines produced in different countries and regions are different. my country's wines have also developed very well in recent years, and the quality is also very good, not worse than foreign wines. If you are interested, it is also good to have a deeper understanding.
