How to distinguish the authenticity of Changyu wine, let’s take a look at the editor’s sharing today.
1. Look at the trademark
The trademark of authentic Changyu wine is very clear, with a Y symbol and a small five-pointed star on it.
2. Look at the wine cork
The cork of authentic Changyu wine is usually cork, and the cork will also be marked with Changyu wine and other words, and some "three noes" counterfeit products Then use plastic cork.
3. Look at the color of the wine
Changyu wine is deep ruby ??red. Through the light, you can see that the wine is clear but not turbid, while fake wine is usually dark and turbid.
4. Look at the capacity
Genuine Changyu liquor is filled mechanically, with a total capacity of 750ml, while counterfeit liquor is easily filled more or less manually.
5. Look at the date
Judging from the date on the outer packaging, the date of the real Changyu wine is spray-coded, while most of the fake Changyu wine is printed with a printed code.
6. Look at the anti-counterfeiting labels
Many brands of wine bottles use rice humidity-sensitive anti-counterfeiting technology. Just wipe it with water to reveal the anti-counterfeiting mark.
Expand your knowledge: How to store Changyu wine
1. Suitable temperature range:
The optimal temperature for wine storage is about 15℃, but in China, It is difficult to maintain a temperature of 15°C all year round. However, slightly higher temperatures have little impact on wine, and the overall temperature can be controlled below 20°C.
2. Store away from light and in a dark place:
Red wine should be stored away from sunlight, especially white wine and peach wine, which are usually stored in transparent bottles. Long-term exposure to light may cause reduction reactions and "photo-oxidation" in wine.
3. Keep the wine storage environment clean and ventilated:
The odor of the environment where wine is stored will also affect the taste of the wine. Wine cannot be completely sealed before opening, and the air exchange function of the cork is likely to introduce airborne odors into the bottle. Therefore, it is important to keep air circulation and the environment clean.
4. Avoid shaking or shaking:
Wine bottles need a quiet "sleep" during storage, so try to avoid shaking during storage. This phenomenon is particularly evident during wine transportation. After a long period of transportation, the wine will appear "weak". The aroma was hindered and the taste was bland. It needs some quiet time to rejuvenate.
5. Keep it level:
Most wines are still corked. To prevent the cork from drying out and shrinking, the cork is still placed horizontally to keep it moist and expanded and to avoid oxidation.
6. Keep the humidity as high as possible:
The storage humidity should be above 70%, mainly to prevent the cork from drying out. However, when people store wine at home, it is difficult to control the air humidity. At the same time, keeping the bottle flat can basically meet the humidity requirements of the bottle stopper, so don't worry too much.
