How to preserve the collected liquor? Nowadays, more and more friends like "hoarding wine", which is also called "hoarding wine" in the circle. Usually a few boxes, a dozen boxes, or even dozens of boxes of favorite white wine are stored for several years before drinking. "Ginger is old and spicy, and wine is old and fragrant." The following are ways to preserve and collect liquor.
How to preserve the collection of liquor 1 and try to avoid moving frequently?
The aging process of liquor is a relatively stable and slow process, and frequent moving and moving of hidden liquor is not conducive to the aging of liquor. Therefore, we should choose a relatively fixed place to store liquor, preferably a leisure place at home, so that we don't have to move the hidden liquor often.
Make sure the bottle mouth is facing up.
Maybe careful friends will find that the boxes of liquor we buy will have a "keep up" arrow sign, especially when storing several boxes of liquor, we must look at this sign to ensure that the bottle mouth is facing up. The bottle mouth of liquor is placed downward, even if it is tightly packed, a small amount of liquor will leak out, which is not worth the candle.
Check the tightness of the bottle mouth
Before storing liquor, it is best to check the tightness of the bottle mouth of each bottle to see if there is liquor leakage. The bottle mouth is upside down, and the sealing of liquor is not good, so it is not easy to find a small amount of liquor leaking from the bottle mouth. After inversion, I smell the bottle mouth, which has a dignified wine smell and is slightly leaking wine. Both cases should be dealt with accordingly. If the bottle cap is not tightened, it will be easier to handle. After tightening, it still can't be solved. It is best to add plastic wrap or seal it with wax.
Stay away from odorous objects.
Some people like to store wine in the wine cabinet, which is also an ideal way to hide wine; But be careful to stay away from objects with strong smell. Afraid of insects eating wine cabinets, put a few mothballs; Mix the perfume and cosmetics used by women with the stored liquor; These are all wrong ways to hide wine, so pay attention to them.
Pay attention to moisture
When liquor, especially boxed liquor, is stored, attention should be paid to moistureproof, and it should not be stored in damp places such as basements and garages. Too humid, it is easy to cause mildew in wine boxes and wine bottles, especially Aspergillus flavus, which is very harmful to human body. Also pay attention to keep a certain distance from the wall and the ground. It is best to raise the ground 10 cm with a wooden frame to facilitate air circulation and prevent mildew.
Avoid radiators in winter.
In the northern region, it is necessary to keep warm in winter, and the radiator should be avoided when storing liquor. If it is floor heating, it is necessary to pay attention to adding a wooden frame, which is higher than 10cm to increase circulation. Especially when the heating is very hot, it is easy to cause the cork to burst, which in turn leads to a loose seal and easy to cause wine leakage.
How to store liquor correctly at home? Keep in mind the "six details and two conditions", the more preserved the liquor, the more fragrant it will be. To store liquor, it is best to choose high-grade puree wine, such as this Hengshui Laobaigan 72-degree jar-sealed wine: it is brewed by solid-state fermentation of pure grain, inheriting the ancient method of thousands of years, and endowed with ingenious skills, so the collection value of high-grade puree wine is higher.
How to preserve and collect liquor 2 1? When storing wine, it is best to hold it in a jar. The jar itself contains a variety of minerals, which can keep the fragrance of liquor for a long time, make liquor more mellow and promote the aging of liquor. The best storage place is underground, because underground is an environment with little temperature change, which basically keeps normal temperature.
2, alcohol is volatile, and it will run away a lot after a long time. It is best to seal the bottle with wax, which is better sealed and can be preserved for a long time.
Method for collecting liquor
First, subjective collection, also known as active collection. When collectors see their favorite wines, they will buy them and keep them. Generally buy famous wine, brand wine and wine with individual characteristics.
Second, objective collection, also known as passive collection. For example, good wine presented by relatives and friends, or high-end packaged wine that has never been drunk, is stored at home for a long time. Almost all Tibetans have directly or indirectly accepted the influence of the concept that the longer the liquor is stored, the better, that is, the longer it is.
We often see media reports: "How much is it worth to collect hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of bottles of wine?" So, how to correctly understand the concept of "the longer the liquor is stored, the better"? How to correctly collect bottled liquor?
1. The bottled wine that was put away became an empty bottle. In this case, there are all kinds of wine bottles, most of which are purple sand bottles, followed by pottery bottles, porcelain bottles and bamboo bottles.
The main reason: the bottle is leaking.
2. The capacity of the collected bottled wine is reduced. Physical changes have taken place in the wine body. If the original capacity is 500mL, there is 300mL left. Different capacities are reduced proportionally, from 10% to 80%. In this case, there are bottled wines of various materials, including glass bottles.
The main reason: the bottle mouth is not tightly sealed, which leads to volatilization.
3. The quality of bottled wine has changed chemically. For example, the aroma substances of wine volatilize, which reduces the quality of liquor; The bottle material reacts with liquid wine to make the wine body change color (such as red, black and mixed).
The main reasons are: the color of bottle body material (purple sand) may fade, or the tannin in cork bottle cap reacts with trace nitrogen compounds in liquor to form black precipitate. For example, the bamboo bottle is sealed with wax, but because there are gaps between the bamboo filaments in the bamboo tube, the wine will slowly leak out and the color will become darker, which usually happens in about 2 years.
The bad taste is due to the improper use of the inner plug material, such as the rubber inner plug making the wine have a rubber taste, or the cork has a wood taste.
Matters needing attention in liquor collection
1, collect high-grade famous wines and fine brand wines. This liquor has excellent quality and high brand awareness. If the packaging meets the precision requirements, there will be a lot of room for long-term preservation and appreciation.
2. Collect liquor products filled in high-density wine bottles with high precision and good sealing performance. Such as stainless steel bottled wine, glass bottled wine (sealing needs technical treatment) and so on. And can be stored for a long time without affecting the product quality.
3. Collect bottled wine with high alcohol content.
More than 50 degrees is the height, and the height wine is more suitable for collection, and the height wine is generally brewed with pure grain; Many low-alcohol wines below 50 degrees are blended, and the ethanol in them is easy to volatilize and cannot be stored for a long time. In particular, Fen-flavor liquor is not suitable for long-term storage, and it is easy to lose its original flavor characteristics and even appear bitter. Generally speaking, high-alcohol wine tastes more mellow.
4. Pay attention to the different flavors of bottled wine in the collection. Different flavor types have different functions. The content of high-boiling substances in Maotai flavor type is high, and the quality of Maotai-flavor bottled wine is relatively easy to remain stable. Other fragrance types will also produce stale flavor, changing the fragrance without leakage. Besides the degree, the flavor of liquor is also closely related to the collection.
At present, the flavor types of China liquor can be roughly divided into five categories: Maotai, Luzhou, Fen, Rice and other flavor types. According to industry insiders, the collection should be based on Maotai-flavor and Luzhou-flavor. Because these two flavors cover most famous wines.
It is also the result of China people's drinking preference for thousands of years. Moreover, from a technical point of view, Maotai-flavor and Luzhou-flavor are more complicated, and the technical threshold of Fen-flavor is very low.
Which liquor is suitable for long-term storage?
There are many ways to divide liquor, some according to flavor, some according to liquor degree, some according to brewing technology, and pure grain liquor and alcoholic liquor. So when we decide to collect a certain kind of wine, we must see clearly what kind of wine it is.
For example, according to the brewing process, there are liquid method, solid-liquid blending method and solid method.
Liquid liquor: the grain is fermented into edible alcohol, and then blended. This kind of liquor has small investment, large output, low price and no collection value.
Solid-liquid blending liquor: According to the literal meaning, it is well understood that liquid liquor and solid liquor are prepared in a certain proportion.
Solid liquor: this liquor is produced by traditional technology and brewed with pure grain, during which no liquid alcohol will be added.
The brewing cost of this kind of wine is high, and the price is also high. Moreover, due to the pure grain brewing, with the increase of years, the grain flavor becomes more and more rich and the wine taste becomes particularly mellow. Moreover, due to its small market share, its collection potential is very great.
Among the liquors brewed by solid-state technology, 53 Maotai-flavor liquor is the most suitable, and Maotai-flavor liquor will become more and more mature with time, and its body tends to be perfect. It is recommended to store in a place with constant temperature and humidity, away from light, dry and ventilated, and it needs to be stored for more than 3 years.
How to preserve the collected liquor 3. First, seal it. The bottle mouth should be wrapped with raw material adhesive tape, which can prevent volatilization without destroying its appearance. Raw material belts are easy to buy in hardware stores, that is, leaking waterproof pipes. Be careful not to seal with wax and medical tape, which will destroy the original bottle cap and prevent volatilization.
Second, the environment. Be careful to avoid direct sunlight. Especially when the sun is strong in summer. If liquor is exposed to the sun for a long time, even if the temperature and humidity are appropriate, the label of liquor may be discolored and blurred, and even the internal molecular structure of liquor may be affected, changing the quality and taste.
Third, in the process of preservation, try to reduce unnecessary movement, shaking and other behaviors.
How to confirm the preservation? Give you a little trick. Before storage, weigh the wine with a precision electronic scale and record it. Weigh again after a period of time (4-6 months). If the weight has not changed or changed very little, it means that the preservation measures are appropriate and you can safely keep it for a long time. If the weight is obviously reduced, it is necessary to carefully check the sealing condition and storage environment to eliminate hidden dangers.
For collectors, the collection is about appearance. Attention should be paid to protecting trademarks from wear and tear, protecting bottle caps from volatile liquor, and protecting preservation environment and temperature. It can be seen that there are many things to pay attention to in the collection, and the mind of the flowers is not small, so the most important thing is to remember that it must not be broken, otherwise all the hard work will be in vain.
What liquors are worth collecting?
insufficient
Rare things are precious, and the scarcity of liquor is mainly reflected in the limit, so whether it is investment or drinking, collecting liquor is the first choice for treasure orphans.
First, it is appropriate to choose old wine. At present, most liquor collections will not exceed 100 years, and more will be concentrated within 60 years. Even so, no matter what brand it is, as long as it is old and has less inventory, its price will be higher and there will be more room for appreciation. Like some less well-known old wines, the winery has long stopped production, but the value of its old wines is not worse than that of well-known old wines.
From the time interval of liquor collection, the old wines from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the 1990s are the most valuable for collection, because at that time, it was the planned economy period, and all wineries did not pay attention to economic benefits, even ignored the output and cost, and made them by traditional techniques, so the old wines that have survived to this day have become first-class good wines.
Second, it is advisable to choose a memorable wine. Commemorative wine is generally produced to commemorate national historical events and corporate events, with limited distribution and excellent wine quality.
At present, there are two kinds of commemorative wines on the market: one is "Zodiac commemorative wine", which is a commemorative product named after the zodiac; The other kind of wine is to commemorate major events, mostly to commemorate important historical events of the country or enterprises, such as "Olympic wine", "Expo wine", "wine to commemorate the grand ceremony" and "wine to commemorate the anniversary of the establishment of the factory".
Comparatively speaking, the national historical event commemorative cocktail party is more concerned by enterprises and markets, with better quality and higher value.
Brand awareness
Famous brands should be selected for liquor collection. Because the famous wine itself is very precious, if a bottle of famous wine has a long history and comes from a famous wine manufacturer, it will be more valuable, and it will be more valuable after being stored for many years.
From 1952 to 19-89, the state * * * organized five nationwide wine tasting receptions, and successively selected 17 kinds of national famous wines, covering "four famous wines", "eight famous wines" and "seventeen famous wines". Famous wines in these countries have a long history, stable and reliable quality, and are at the forefront of old wine collection.
In addition, some national high-quality wines that won the second prize in that year, as well as "provincial excellent", "departmental excellent" and local famous wines from all over the country can also enter Tibet. These wines have strong historical and cultural conservatism, unique regional characteristics, unique local characteristics in production technology and raw materials, and it is difficult to brew the same taste in other places.
storage capacity
Of course, this point is more focused on drinking after collection, which requires the quality of wine to stand the test of time. Therefore, it is advisable to choose some wines that are suitable for long-term storage and should not deteriorate.
In terms of flavor types, generally, the preferred flavor types of Tibetan wine are maotai, Luzhou-flavor and Fen-flavor, and other flavor types should be determined according to the actual situation. Maotai-flavor, Fen-flavor and Luzhou-flavor also exist in sequence, because their tastes change differently when stored for the same time. If it is stored for 3-5 years, the sauce flavor is preferred, followed by strong flavor and third flavor, because after 3-5 years, the sauce flavor changes the most, followed by strong flavor and third flavor.
After the fragrance, you need to consider the alcohol content. Only wines above 50 degrees are collectible. For liquor below 50 degrees, the ethanol in the wine is volatile, and the flavor substances in the wine are easy to lose after a long time. If you want to taste different wines, you can choose to collect high, medium and low-alcohol wines, but the storage time of medium and low-alcohol liquors cannot exceed 3 years. If you prefer the mellow, soft and heavy changes of wine, you can better show the style characteristics of high-alcohol wine through the experience of time.
In addition, packaging materials should also be considered, and ceramic bottled liquor should be collected. Because the glass bottle is airtight and dark, it is not conducive to the preservation of liquor, while the ceramic container is loose in texture and has holes invisible to the naked eye, which can make oxygen in the air enter it and promote the aging of liquor. Besides physical function, the packaging of liquor can also consider aesthetic function, and it is also possible to choose some wine bottles with unique design and strong cultural atmosphere.
