(2) Brewing process characteristics
The production technology of Lai Mao wine is unique. Lai Mao wine is brewed in two batches every year. The same batch of raw materials must be boiled nine times, cooled eight times, added with koji, piled at high temperature, fermented in a pool and taken seven times. It takes a whole year, and then it must be stored for more than three years and carefully blended before it can be packaged and delivered. It takes at least five years for a bottle of wine to go from raw materials to factory. Its aroma components are extremely complex, which makes the product unique in style. Do not feel dry and spicy when drinking, easy to talk, elegant and delicate.
(C) Lai Mao wine health selling point
Why is Lai Mao green and healthy?
Lai Mao wine has a long fermentation time and relatively few volatile substances, which is less irritating to human body and beneficial to health. Lai Mao wine contains less volatile substances and more nonvolatile substances, which is less irritating to people, does not burn the head, throat or heart.
Lai Mao wine has high acidity. Lai Mao wine has five flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and astringent. The acidity of Lai wine is three to four times that of other wines. The acidic components of Lai Mao wine are mainly acetic acid and lactic acid. Chinese medicine theory holds that acid governs the spleen and stomach, protects the liver and softens blood vessels. Western medicine also believes that vinegar is good for health, and Taoism and Buddhism also attach great importance to the nourishing effect of acid.
Lai Mao wine contains a variety of phenolic compounds. Some experts pointed out that dry red wine has the function of preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases because it contains a variety of phenolic compounds. Phenolic compounds in Lai Mao wine are three to four times higher than those in other famous wines, indicating that Lai Mao wine and dry red wine have the same effect.
● The alcohol concentration of Lai Mao wine is scientific and reasonable. The alcohol content of Laimao wine is about 53%(V/V), while the traditional alcohol content of other famous wines is about 60%(V/V), and some even reach 65%(V/V). According to scientific determination, when the alcohol concentration is 53 degrees, the combination of water molecules and alcohol molecules is the strongest. In a classic experiment, 53.94 ml of pure alcohol and 49.83 ml of water were used, and the total volume was 100ml instead of l03.77 ml. In addition, Lai Mao wine will be stored for a long time, so it is more associative. Practice has proved that the conductivity of Lai Mao wine increases with the increase of storage time, which fully proves that with the increase of storage time, there are fewer and fewer free alcohol molecules and less stimulation to the body, which is beneficial to health. So when drinking, it feels not spicy, but mellow and sweet.
Lai Mao wine is a natural fermented product, which is different from alcohol and other white spirits. The technology of Laimao wine is very scientific and reasonable, and the products are completely blended with wines of different rounds, different flavors, different alcoholicity and different wine ages. The flavor components and the proportion between them are very scientific and reasonable, which makes Laimao wine form a unique style. At present, the analytical level at home and abroad is not up to the level of detecting all the components of Laimao wine, so it is not like some famous wines that find a substance as their main aroma (Laimao wine does not have a flavor substance as its main aroma like other wines). Finding the main aroma is not only a scientific progress, but also a problem, that is, when the main aroma is not enough, non-fermented aroma substances can be added, so the corresponding perfume factories and liquor blending factories came into being. Lai Mao wine is absolutely impossible, and Lai Mao wine does not add any aroma substances!
● There are substances such as SOD and metallothionein in Lai Mao wine. As we know, SOD is a specific scavenger of oxygen free radicals, and its main function is to "clear one thing and resist four things", that is, to remove excess free radicals in the body, and to resist tumor, fatigue, virus and aging. The role of metallothionein is much stronger than SOD. Metallothionein inhibits hepatic stellate cells. Hepatic stellate cells will not separate glial fibers and form hepatic fibrosis after being severely inhibited.
