China liquor culture is so extensive and profound that in recent years, it has set off an upsurge of liquor collection, and it has become a very "cultural" thing to identify and collect liquor. Drinking and collecting liquor are also cultures. The topic of old wine collection is getting hotter and hotter, and many wine lovers have a certain understanding of old wine collection. But with the passage of time, there are many fake old wines coming out. Therefore, in the process of collection, we should also beware of counterfeiting.
Here are some notes about the collection of old wine and the methods to distinguish the true and false old wine.
Identifying the authenticity of old wine, opening a bottle to taste, and even detecting the ingredients can naturally draw a conclusion. In this way, the collection value of a bottle of wine is gone. Don't open the bottle, you must distinguish the authenticity. So, how to identify the authenticity of old wine under this premise?
Glanced at the seal. Collectors should carefully observe whether the bottle seal is worn, whether there are traces of the elderly, and whether the seal is intact or loose.
Second, look at the label. The standard labels on wine bottles should include: front label, back label or neck label, depending on the bottle body. At that time, trademark printing was very different from now. A color trademark can only be printed through multiple processes, and each process can only print one color. Trademarks used in famous wineries are generally produced by big factories, with accurate color matching, exquisite printing, unambiguous fonts and no burrs.
Third, look at the packaging. Since the late 1980s, most famous wines have been packed in color boxes when they leave the factory. After reading the carrier elements on the wine bottle, finally look at the color box packaging. First, it is complete and clean; Second, the handwriting of the color box screen should be clear, which can reveal the packaging characteristics of the year and give people a real and beautiful enjoyment.
Then the date. In some years, the date is not printed on the bottle body, but the date is written in Arabic numerals or chinese numerals on the wine labels of different years. The identification of old wine needs enough experience, and it is necessary to know the trademark history and packaging history of various wines like the palm of your hand.
As a market with high return on investment, it is imperative to standardize and guide the collection and identification of old wine.

The eight famous wine companies attached great importance to the auction in September. They carefully selected high-quality wines from the original wines from 65438 to 0963, and canned 63 bottles of old wines with 60' s style packaging bottles and wine labels. Then take 45 bottles each and combine them into 45 sets of eight famous wines for public bidding.

These famous wines are of high quality, each set is unique, and there is huge room for appreciation, which contains huge business opportunities. Compared with the folk Tibetan wine, "Lao Ba" has more faith and collection value, and is a truly unrepeatable boutique.
