Blending is a very important and essential process in liquor brewing. To put it simply, after the liquor has just been made, the liquor produced by different workshops has different tastes, so it is necessary to unify the taste, remove impurities and coordinate the flavor through blending. Blending is not simply adding water to wine, but including the combination and seasoning of different basic wines. It is a special technology to balance the wine body and maintain its unique style.
In distilled liquor, about 98% of the components are ethanol and water, and 2% are trace components. Although these trace components are few, they can determine the style and quality of liquor. Liquor produced in different workshops and different production times in the same workshop will definitely not have the same number or proportion of major trace components, so the taste will be uneven. In order to make the quality of wine perfect, conform to the traditional style of the brand, and the quality of the ex-factory products is uniform, blending is essential. Modern blending is a special process in which the wine body is designed first, then tested according to the unified standards and quality requirements, and finally the trace flavor components are comprehensively balanced according to the design requirements and quality standards.
Wuliangye, whisky, brandy, gin, rum and other internationally renowned distilled spirits are all blended with high-quality base wines.
In the process of liquor production, aroma production depends on fermentation, aroma improvement depends on distillation, and molding depends on blending. Blending technology can be regarded as the crowning touch of liquor brewing. Taking Wuliangye as an example, the blending technology of Wuliangye has been continuously improved and developed for decades. In the late 1970s, Fan Yuping, a blending master, made continuous technical progress in optimization methods. Mr. Hua called twice to congratulate him and presented a poem: "Wuliangye, a famous wine, tastes better, saving 500 tons of grain and increasing production by 50%." I deeply hate that he was born too early and can only enjoy his old age. " He praised Yibin Wuliangye Winery for "adding luster to Wuliangye, which is well-known at home and abroad". Now Wuliangye has a unique advanced technology combining computer blending with manual tasting evaluation, which is praised as "double blending" by the industry and is at the international leading level.
Wuliangye, which is currently used to blend flavoring wine, belongs to super-grade wine. It comes from an ancient cellar with a history of more than 600 years since the Ming Dynasty. The wine is rich and comprehensive in flavor, has the miraculous effect of consolidating the foundation and strengthening the yuan, and embodies the comprehensive aesthetic feeling, ensuring that the taste and quality of every bite of Wuliangye consumed by consumers are consistent. In the whole blending process of Wuliangye, no essence or flavor elements are added, and finally "all the fragrances are harmonious and just right" is achieved. Therefore, Wuliangye's corporate culture of "moderation and harmony" is not an empty slogan, but based on product style.
From "Chen's secret recipe" to 600-year-old cellar, from the unique "koji-wrapping" process to the world-leading "blending double-unique", Wuliangye treats consumers as crystal clear and mellow as its wine quality. Some domestic brands deliberately avoid the concept of "blending", which to some extent obliterates the public's right to know, which is a kind of deception.
Therefore, the best way to solve people's misunderstanding of cross-exchange is to learn Wuliangye, inform the public of the real characteristics of the product, and let consumers make their own judgments according to the situation. Some demonization behaviors of blending can only cause confusion in liquor market, which is not conducive to the development of liquor industry.
