How to pick a high quality wine

How to pick a high-quality red wine in the face of the numerous and expensive imported wines? Will impurities in wine be fake? Take French wine as an example, teach you to choose the most cost-effective imported wine from the following four strokes.

The first trick is to check the grades on the wine labels French wine laws classify wines into 4 levels: AOC is the highest French wine. We get a bottle of wine and we can identify whether it belongs to the AOC level from the bottle label: Appellation + Appellation + Controlee on the wine label. In general, the first and last words of this mark are unchanged, and the middle word varies due to different production areas. Such as France Li Shida winery series, marked as Appellation + Chateau Lascombes Castle + Controlee, AOC high-level wine, in general, the production area marked by the smaller the origin, the better the quality of the wine.

The second measure is how to check the vintage of the wine. The French wine is more complicated than the wine of other countries. It is not only the AOC grade but also the good wine. Good wine must be a good vintage. Because the quality of wine depends on the quality of the grape's raw materials, and the quality of the grapes, but because of the origin and the climate of the year and the management of the grapes are determined. Good years since 2000 have been 2000, 2003, 2004, and 2005, so when you look at the French wine label, it may be a good idea to look at the wine selection. The wine was marked on the year 2005, which indicates that the raw material for the wine in the bottle was picked in 2005.

The third measure how to identify the original imported wine 1, wine bottle watch wine bottle label printing is clear? Is it fake copy? Is there a difference in the lid of the bottle? Is there any trace of being opened? Check if the international barcode on the label on the back of the bottle begins with 3 characters: French international code is 3, domestic filling is 6; see if there is Chinese mark on the label on the back of the bottle: According to Chinese law, all imported foods must be added in Chinese Back labeling, if there is no Chinese back label, it may be imported smuggled and the quality cannot be guaranteed.

2, look at the wine to see if the color of the wine is not natural? See if there is any unknown suspension on the wine? (Note: A small amount of sediment at the bottom of the bottle is a normal crystal.) When the quality of the wine is deteriorated, the color has a cloudy feeling.

3. Look at the wine stopper mark to open the bottle and see if the text on the cork stopper is the same as the text on the bottle label. In France, wine bottles and wine stoppers are special.

4, smell the smell of wine if the wine has a nasty smell like a nail polish, it deteriorated.

5, the taste of the wine to drink the first drink, the liquor through the throat, the normal wine is smooth, the problem of wine there is a sense of excitement.

After drinking, the odor remaining in the mouth is chemical or smelly, which is abnormal.

The fourth move is balanced wine wine is good wine friends who just touched French wine will always think that the wine has acidity, is not a good wine. In fact, this is not the case: Some of the sourness of wine comes from grapes, such as tartaric acid, malic acid, and a small amount of citric acid, and partly from fermentations such as succinic acid, lactic acid, and acetic acid. These acid levels are unavoidable. It promotes the secretion of saliva and accelerates the body's metabolism, which is essential for health. The acidity of wine is like the bones of the body. There is no structure for wine without acid. In wine tasting terminology we always say that good wine is balanced, and the balance here refers to the balance between acidity and tannin content. The structure of the two is called wine body. Wine with balanced body is a good wine. Therefore, French wines are full of personality, and every time you open a bottle, it will be a brand new experience.
