Hello!

The blending of liquor belongs to the technical category and is not strictly stipulated by national regulations. In other words, the liquor blending technology belongs to the category of technological monopoly. Since it is a technology monopoly, it will never be made public.

Just like all distilleries have the technology to brew (blend) liquor, but only the Kweichow Moutai Distillery is capable of brewing (blending) Moutai. This is a technological monopoly!

Despite this, there are still unwritten regulations in the wine industry, that is, the base liquor for blending liquor should be no less than 10%, and the rest should be blended with liquid liquor or edible alcohol in an appropriate proportion. become.

Then, the most critical thing is the latter part. The so-called monopoly technology also refers to the latter part, and this is confidential.

To give a popular example, for example, when we make a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, there must be more tomatoes than eggs. If the quantities of the two are reversed in a huge disproportional way, there will be less tomatoes. , there are too many eggs, then this dish is not called "Tomato Scrambled Eggs"! Then it becomes "spreading eggs", and tomatoes become the embellishment.

1: The blending technology of liquor is a technical monopoly:

There is a famous saying in the liquor industry that “the production of aroma depends on fermentation, the improvement of aroma depends on distillation, and the shaping of liquor depends on blending.” From this we can It can be seen that the blending of liquor is a technology, and the quality of this technology determines the quality of liquor. Therefore, liquor blending is a trade secret and is kept secret. Just like everyone knows how to brew liquor, but without brewing technology and blending technology, it is absolutely impossible to brew Moutai.

Two: Liquor blending technology took shape slightly later than wine brewing:

Advanced blending technology is actually the finishing touch of wine making. Take Wuliangye as an example. Wuliangye has unique advanced technology that combines computer blending with manual tasting and evaluation. It is praised by the industry as "double blending" and is at the world's leading level.

The liquor blending technology took shape about 600 years ago!

The blending technology matured probably more than 600 years ago. Moreover, the mature blending technology comes from the blending of Wuliangye.

Currently, the flavoring wine used by Wuliangye for blending is a special-grade wine, coming from an ancient cellar with a brewing history of more than 600 years. Wuliangye’s entire blending process does not add any flavors or flavorings, and ultimately achieves the "each flavor". The taste is harmonious and just right.” Therefore, some experts jokingly said that the moderate and harmonious quality of Wuliangye is the result of blending.

Modern blending is a special process in which the wine body is first designed, inspected according to unified standards and quality requirements, and finally the trace aroma components are comprehensively balanced according to the design requirements and quality standards.

Four: The blending technology is chaotic and uneven:

According to the annual report released by the Liquor Professional Committee of the China Food Industry Association:

No one can tell clearly now. How many pure grain solid-state fermented liquors are there on the market, and how many new craft liquors and blended liquors are there?

Industry insiders believe that due to the mutual monopoly of liquor blending technology, 70% of the liquor on the market is blended with alcohol, and the current blended liquor will only be more than this amount, not less, but technology Uneven.

Attachment: Liquor blending technology:

The main purpose of blending liquor is to make the proportion of various trace components in the liquor appropriate, so as to achieve the standard requirements of the liquor and the ideal aroma, feeling and style. Features. The method of blending is to taste the wines in the production workshop one by one, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, and blend them with each other so that the various trace ingredients are matched in proportion and the wine body is more harmonious.

For example, we are all familiar with Moutai. The highest level of Moutai is not brewing, but blending, and the blending technique determines the taste and grade of Moutai town liquor.
