Since ancient times, baijiu has been an indispensable wine on the table. Whether it's a festive season, a family reunion, or a meeting with classmates and friends, baijiu plays an important role, not only as a drink, but also as a catalyst for emotional exchange. In important moments, a glass of baijiu can make the atmosphere more lively and shorten the distance between people. However, there are many brands of liquor on the market, and the quality is uneven, if you spend a high price to buy fake wine, it will be a waste of money, and the most important thing is that drinking fake wine will be bad for your health. How to quickly distinguish between real and fake liquor has become a headache for many consumers. Don't worry, today I will share with you a few tips to distinguish real and fake liquor, so that you can be more handy when buying liquor!
One: Look at the hops.
Hops is a layer of foam formed on the surface of the liquor after we shake the bottle quickly, and when buying liquor, we can distinguish the quality of the liquor by observing this foam. A high-quality liquor, after a long period of aging, has a rich body, and after shaking the bottle, it will produce rich and delicate hops on it, and these hops will dissipate more slowly. On the contrary, if we shake the bottle, the hops produced are not only few, but also dissipated immediately, which means that the quality of the liquor is poor, the natural ingredients in high-quality liquor are lacking, and the tension of the liquor is insufficient, just like boiled water. We don't want to buy such liquor.
2. Check the product type of liquor.
The liquor we often drink, if classified according to the production process, it is divided into solid liquor, liquid liquor and flavored liquor. Among them, the solid-state liquor, which is made from grain as raw material and using solid-state saccharification, fermentation, distillation and other procedures, is the liquor brewed from pure grains. The liquid method is to use alcohol for brewing, and then add some flavors, saccharin, and the like to simulate the taste and flavor of baijiu. Flavored liquor is made by blending alcohol produced by solid or liquid method. Therefore, when buying liquor, we should pay attention to check the liquor brewing process marked on the bottle, and look for the liquor brewed by the solid-state method, which is brewed from pure grain.
Three: look at the implementation of the liquor labeling.
On the body of the wine bottle, it will be marked with the implementation standard of liquor. As an important norm and criterion in the production process of liquor, the implementation standard of liquor covers many aspects such as raw material selection, production process, sensory indicators, physical and chemical indicators, etc., aiming to ensure the quality and safety of liquor. This standard is mainly divided into two categories: mandatory standards and recommended standards. Mandatory standards are the liquor brewing specifications that must be implemented by the state, mainly including GB17204-2008 and GB2757-2012. The recommended standard is the liquor brewing specification recommended by the mainland, including the sauce flavor type GB/T26760, the strong flavor type GB/T10781.1, the light fragrance type GB/T10781.2, the Fengxiang type GB/T14867, etc., which are all pure grain wines. GB/T20821 and GB/T20822 are the standard numbers for alcoholic wine and blended wine. By understanding the implementation standards of liquor, we can better judge the quality and authenticity of liquor, and avoid buying counterfeit and shoddy products.
Four: Rub the liquor in the palm of your hand.
If the liquor has been bought home, we can also distinguish whether the liquor is good or not by kneading. Just pour a little liquor in the palm of our hand, then rub both hands together, and when the palm of the hand gets hot, we spread it out and smell it on the tip of our nose. Pure grain made liquor, it will exude a strong grain aroma. But if you smell a strange smell, it is more pungent, and you can even smell a strong smell of alcohol, this is blended liquor, and we won't buy it next time.
Five: Drip identification.
Although baijiu looks the same as water, baijiu is brewed, and there will be a lot of sticky substances in it, and when the baijiu is shaken, it will appear to hang on the wall obviously, so the permeability of baijiu is relatively poor. We can take a piece of toilet paper and spread it on the table, and then use chopsticks to dip some liquor on the paper towel. High-quality liquor, it will penetrate, but it will not penetrate immediately like water, but it will not penetrate very slowly. If the liquor drops on the paper towel and spreads very slowly, the impurities inside the liquor are likely to mutate, and such a liquor is not a good liquor.
