Selection and identification of foreign wine

1. What are the common methods for identifying the true and false "foreign wine"?

source: buy from a reputable merchant, and the wine is generally credible. Never buy wine from unknown sources or small shops.

check the packaging; The trademark of real foreign wine is very particular, neat and clear, with a strong sense of concavity and convexity, bright printing, neat color printing, and no obsolete and fuzzy handwriting patterns. On the contrary, it may be fake wine.

look at the seal: the seal of foreign wine has aluminum seal or lead seal. Precious foreign wines transported in containers are generally sealed with lead outside. If the lead seal is open or lead-free seal, there is something wrong with the wine and it cannot be purchased.

look at the security signs; There are generally trademarks on the bottleneck of foreign wines, and there are various anti-counterfeiting marks in the trademarks. The anti-counterfeiting marks of different wines are also different, so attention should be paid to observation and identification. If there is no anti-counterfeiting mark or the mark is wrong, it can be considered as fake wine.

look at the trademark password; Different wines are printed with different digital passwords, indicating the date of production, the manufacturer and the time of import. If the number on the trademark of the wine is different from the number of the foreign wine, it indicates that it is counterfeit.

clarity of liquor: normal liquor, whether colored or colorless, has no impurities or precipitates.

aroma: under normal circumstances, once the wine is opened, it should not have a pungent or unpleasant taste, but a mellow and pleasant aroma.

second, what are the identification methods of each brand of foreign wine?

1) identification method of main products of MARTELL company

MARTELL began to produce brandy in 1715. Grapes are white and transparent liquid after fermentation and distillation, but the brandy finally sold is amber, because the grape juice is fermented and distilled, packed in oak barrels, and placed for more than 15 years before being sold. In the process of storage, the grape juice absorbs the unique fragrance and color of oak, and becomes a unique amber color with strong fragrance. General brandy is not sold until it has been stored for more than 15 years, but it is not sold directly, but is made from wines of different years and carefully prepared by bartenders. The quality of brandy mainly depends on blending technology. The longer the wine is, the stronger the fragrance, the better the taste and the higher the cost (evaporation).

VSOP is generally stored for more than 15 years, celebrities for more than 25 years, blue ribbon for 3 -35 years, X.O for more than 35 years and golden yellow for more than 8 years. Cordon blue

There is a bottle opening pull ring at the mouth of the cordon blue. After pulling it open, there is a small dot on the back, which feels smooth and is not in the center but slightly on the upper side; The bottle cap can be rotated.

MARTELL letters on the bottle mouth are pressed, which has a strong three-dimensional effect, and the font size is consistent, dark blue; The indentation distance at the bottle mouth is even up and down. There is a round plastic label on the top of the bottle, which is sticky. When touched by hand, it has obvious sticky feel, and it will change color after seeing light, and the sticky feel will be obviously weakened after use. The long plastic label at the bottle mouth should be close to the bottle body, and the two edges are white.

the liquor is amber, which can be compared. There is an English label on the bottle, and the letters H.K.D.N.P and C are on the upper right and lower right of the label respectively, and C stands for products sold in China; At the same time, there is a round Chinese label and a round national health inspection label (which has been allowed without this label at present). Starting from January 23, English labels will be changed to Chinese labels.

There is a production batch number on the bottle body and bottle mouth of each bottle of wine, and at the same time, there is a batch number on the back of some labels (which can be clearly identified when passing through the bottle). The first 3 or 5 digits of the two batches should generally be the same (now it should be LL…… or LM ………, which is out of stock; The whole container should be the same batch number).

X.O.

The bottle mouth has the signature font of MARTELL.XO, as well as the fluorescent font of the same content.

the ring at the bottleneck is gray and sticky.

Royal Salute

The correct trademarks of the Royal Salute are: CHVAS BROTHERS LTD, KEITA SCOTLAND, BOTTLED IN SCOLAND (fake goods are easy to print V as Y).

The sprinkling bottle is made of ceramics, which has a strong luster, and the luster will be weakened after being touched by hands.

the label on the bottle mouth is sealed inside, and it can't be touched or erased by hand outside.

the bottom of the bottle should be very clean and scratch-free, and there is no way to remove the dirt except scraping it with a knife.

All bottles of foreign wine are not recycled, so all bottles should be brand new. There is no way to tell the truth from outsourcing. Because all the wines are imported, it takes a long time to transport, declare customs, and label the dealers. The outer packaging may not be very neat or damaged.

3. What are the grading methods of foreign wine?

1) identify the grade of wine by label.

positive label: among French wines, the wine named after the place of origin has the best quality. For wines you are unfamiliar with, the most reliable way is to identify the grade of the wine by the label.

sub-label: it contains more information than the main label, including the introduction of wine, the details of the origin of wine, the grape varieties used, the aging time and the storage method. Each wine has its own characteristics, and its quality is determined by the soil quality of the plantation and the careful cultivation of the brewer. Find your own tastes and hobbies, and don't let advertisements and others determine your feelings.

2) Observe carefully with your eyes: all kinds of famous wines have their perfect brightness, suspended particles will not affect the quality of the wine, and some tiny precipitates in high-quality wines are generally harmless, but the turbidity of the wine (filaments or fogs appear in the wine) indicates that the wine has deteriorated.

The color of white wine was originally straw yellow, but with the age of wine, the color gradually deepened and became bright deep golden yellow. Good wine shows a rather dark color; Newly brewed wine usually has a green luster; Amber indicates that this is an old wine and it is likely to have been oxidized; Gold and copper color indicate that grapes used for wine making have suffered from rare plant rot.

The color of red wine ranges from rose red to lavender blue, and from brown to orange yellow. Unlike white wine, the older the wine, the lighter the color. If it is light brown, it indicates that the wine is older; Deep red indicates that the wine is produced in dry climate zone; Almost opaque reddish brown, spicy flavor, this is a red wine produced in the Rhone Valley.

3) use your nose: the smell of wine in the cup tells us about the kind and quality of wine. In order to distinguish the smell of wine, gently rotate the wine in the cup. The newly brewed wine has the unique fragrance of fresh fruit, while the high-quality wine has a rich and varied smell.

4) use your sense of taste: put a little wine in your mouth, take a breath and let the aroma disperse. The fruity aroma of high-quality wine in your mouth and the dryness of grapes will be longer, and ordinary wine will soon enter your stomach. Ordinary wine with sugar will upset your stomach.
