1. The blending technology of liquor belongs to technical monopoly.
There is a famous saying in the wine industry that "fermentation produces aroma, distillation enhances aroma, and blending forms". It can be seen that liquor blending belongs to technology, and the quality of liquor is determined by the quality of this technology. Therefore, liquor blending is a trade secret and confidential. Just as everyone knows how to brew white wine, Moutai will definitely not be brewed without brewing technology and blending technology.
Two: the formation of liquor blending technology is a little later than liquor brewing.
Advanced blending technology is actually the crowning touch of wine making. Taking Wuliangye as an example, 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. ?
The blending technology of liquor tends to take shape about 600 years ago! ?
Hybrid technology matured about 600 years ago. The maturity of blending technology comes from the blending of Wuliangye. ?
At present, the flavoring wine used in Wuliangye belongs to super-grade wine, which comes from the ancient cellar pool with a brewing history of more than 600 years. Wuliangye did not add any flavors and fragrances in the whole blending process, and finally achieved "harmony of all fragrances, just right". Therefore, some experts joked that the mild and harmonious quality of Wuliangye was blended.
Third, the blending of modernization:
Firstly, the wine body was designed and tested according to the unified standards and quality requirements, and finally the trace flavor components were comprehensively balanced according to the design requirements and quality standards.
Four. Blending technology is chaotic and uneven.
According to the annual report issued by the Liquor Professional Committee of China Food Industry Association,
No one can tell how many pure grain solid-state fermented liquor, new technology liquor and blended liquor are on the market now.
The insiders believe that due to the monopoly of liquor blending technology, 7% of liquor on the market has become alcohol blending, and now the blended liquor will only be more than this amount, not less, but the technology is uneven.
Attachment: Liquor blending technology: Liquor blending is mainly to make the proportion of various trace components in liquor appropriate, so as to achieve the standard requirements and/or ideal flavor feeling and style characteristics of this liquor. The method of blending is to taste the wines in the production workshop one by one, analyze the advantages and disadvantages, and blend with each other, so that various trace components can be matched in proportion and the wine body is more harmonious. ?
For example, Moutai, which we are all familiar with. The highest state of Maotai liquor is not brewing, but blending, and the skill of blending determines the taste and grade of Maotai liquor.
