Godly Fisherman

In fact, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, including the Stars and Stripes countries, all have very good red wines. Even in France, in addition to the Bordeaux region, there are no inferior wine producing areas similar to Burgundy. If you can use price to define ‘good’, in fact, Lafite is not the best red wine in the world.

According to authoritative statistics, according to the average duty-free price of a 750ml standard bottle, eight of the ten most expensive wines in the world are French red wines, and these eight French red wines are all red wines produced in Burgundy. . All the red wines of the top five wineries in the Bordeaux region failed to be selected

However, in the eyes of Chinese people, Lafite is a good wine. Open your mouth and shut your mouth is ‘Lafite 1982’, and now it’s the best year to drink, let’s talk about Lafite 1982. As if knowing that the wine has a status. .

The highest annual output of Chateau Lafite reached 240,000 bottles sold all over the world. What about China? Two million bottles of Lafite are consumed in one year. Who makes Huaxia people rich and self-willed? What they drink is bottles...

The most interesting example of Lafite's position in the hearts of Chinese people should be a man named Wu Chengxian. That's really a man who "Brother is not in the arena, but the river and lake has always left the legend of Brother".

This man appeared on a Chinese blind date show called "Blind Date Will Win". Regarding such a program, some people commented like this: "1818 Golden Eye", "Old Mother Qiantang" and "Blind Date Will Win" are out-and-out ‘trips of joy’.

This Wu Chengxian went on a blind date. He introduced himself as: graduated from the University of Paris, with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan, a family-style wine business, with a car but no house, looking at the information, it is a model of wealthy and handsome!

As a result, I looked at myself, good guy, the whole is a non-mainstream, or a township level.

Well, it’s not right to judge people by their appearance. As a result, Wu Chengxian’s series of operations made people extremely speechless: You said you graduated from Paris No. 1 University, what about your diploma? No; you said take out your passport, right? There is no record of going abroad; you said that you are studying in France, so tell us in French? will not……

In the end, the program group has no choice. Since you said you are in the wine business, let's talk about wine? As a result, Wu Chengxian, who claims to be in the ‘family wine business’, can only name one wine brand from start to finish, and that is Lafite.

This is definitely the worst time'Lafite' was hacked...

Fortunately, Xiao Peng is not Wu Chengxian. Bloomberg loves to drink red wine and taught Xiao Peng a lot of knowledge about red wine. He finally chose a bottle of red wine produced in Burgundy, France ------2008 Romani-Conti.

Romani Conti is known as the No. 1 wine brand in the world, and it ranks first among the'Top 10 Luxury Wine Brands in the World'. It's a serious "can't buy series", and it's not something you can buy with money. The entire winery produces less than 6,000 bottles a year, which is only one fiftyth of Lafite! At the beginning of Stephen Chow's movie "The Mermaid", when Deng Chao held a celebration banquet after taking pictures of the land, he drank the "One Million Romani Conti".

Of course, the 2008 Romani Conti is not so exaggerated. The price of a bottle in the'butcher shop' bar is more than 14,000 US dollars per bottle including the consumption tax.

When he saw this price, Di Wei's eyes were green: "Brother Peng, this is too exaggerated? I used to be unable to make this money after a few months of work. Shall we just drink it?"

Xiao Peng smiled and said: "I ask you, what do you make money for? Isn't it just spent? Di Wei, you remember that if you simply save, you will not get rich. Consumption is the motivation to make money. Think about it, when you see me spending money, do you arouse your desire to make money?"

Di Wei nodded honestly, and Xiao Peng continued: "People have desires, and you will also think that one day, you will drink such high-priced red wine, go to high-end places, buy expensive clothes, and be around Beautiful women accompany each other. But the premise is that you have to do something first, and also how much effort you can put into your goal. You only see that I want Romani Conti in 2008 to become so excited? Now, take a look, it says "sold out", or I will try the 2006 Romani Conti."

Don’t look at the difference between 2006 and 2008, only two years, but the price of Romani Conti in 2006 was more than 250,000 US dollars, which is the "one million Romani Conti" in the movie "Mermaid", but This more than ten thousand dollars is already amazing, and a bottle of ordinary red wine in Stars and Stripes is about ten dollars...

"Brother Peng, are you saying that I can earn as much money as you?" Di Wei's eyes beamed.

"Impossible." Xiao Peng did not hesitate to put out Di Wei's illusion: "You have to be more realistic, OK?"

"Brother Peng, it's easy for you to have no friends when talking like this." Di Wei said silently.

The waiter brought up the caramel pudding and Romani Conti that Xiao Peng had called. After Xiao Peng took the bottle and looked at it to make sure it was correct, the waiter opened the bottle and poured a glass for each of them. Leave.

Di Wei was stunned for a while: "Brother Peng, didn't you mean that you need to use a decanter to sober up such high-end red wine? How can this be poured and left? In other words, this is a wine king with more than ten thousand dollars? How does it look like a bottle of soda? Like?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "Good red wines are packed in ordinary wooden boxes or cartons, and the labels are extremely simple. Only those wines of poor quality will make a fuss on the packaging. In China, look at the packaging. Inside the exquisite glass is a cup and a corkscrew ashtray. It looks like a very tall red wine. In all likelihood, it is a poor-quality red wine. As for sobering up." Xiao Peng gave Wenjie a white glance: "Even if you sober up you Can you make a difference? Brother, those who sober up the wine first, nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand are just to pretend. Let’s learn something good, can you make it?"

When watching TV (especially China TV, there are few such plots in European and American TV), I often see those so-called upper-class people take out a bottle of red wine and pour it into a decanter made of glass. Drink it after a period of time. This process is called sobering.

The concept of sobering is only for red wine in wine, white wine, sweet wine, sparkling wine, etc. generally do not need to be sobered. There are at least two direct answers to the reason for decanting. The first point is to remove heavy impurities in wine. In the past, wine was bottled without filtration, so people needed to filter and settle before drinking. Decanting as a means of filtration has been preserved to this day. Although most wines are now filtered before bottling, there are often some sediments in the wine bottles, especially those old wines, so precipitation is still needed. Secondly, many wines are not perfect in fact, and bacteria breed unpleasant smells, so let those unpleasant smells be released first.

When exposed to the air, all wines will change, but not all wines will get better, especially when exposed to the air, there is a danger of over-oxidation. Many so-called so-called experts say that fresh red wine should be decanted for a few hours, and older red wines should even be decanted for a few days. Please, isn't that bullshit? So old wine to sober up? How to drink the wine after sobering up? It's dead! The decanter is only used for old wine to change the bottle and remove the slag, it is impossible to make the wine taste better!

Regarding the sobering, it is the top sommelier who relies on experience and feeling to grasp. The same wine, different sommeliers have different opinions and will adopt different sobering methods. Even the top sommeliers themselves say no. It’s because of this. Do you expect Chinese people who don’t drink red wine often can distinguish the contrast between red wine after waking up and before waking up?

Uh, the taste is definitely different. I'm afraid to say which one is better. Don't believe me, find a bottle of red wine for a day and try it?

This is just like what Qian Zhongshu wrote in the book Besieged City: “The modern girl who hates small cities the most in her life, the outdated fashion, the urbanization of rusticity, just like the first suit imitation by Chinese tailors. The western patch on the foreigner's old clothes was also done on the clothes and trousers.

The Chinese people who drink red wine to sober up also have such a taste.

In fact, the reason for this is understandable. In the early years, China was just like Northland, with closed information and no knowledge of the outside world. After the reform and opening up, a group of people went out of the country and took a look outside, oh? Someone drank red wine that way? This is compelling! After returning to China, I started drinking like Maohuahu, and then everyone imitated it and became what it is now.

What is the favorite of Huaxia people? face! How to pretend to come! Thirty yuan a bottle of cheap red wine quickly used a decanter to look tall. Coupled with the propaganda of various decanter merchants, today, Huaxia people who drink red wine or not know that they must sober up before drinking red wine. , I feel that drinking red wine like that is the kingly way, it is full of compulsion.

Xiao Peng can only say two words about this: Ha ha.

In foreign countries, the red wine of a suitable year is taken out of the bottle and drunk directly. Why does it sway before drinking wine? In fact, that is a sobering process! Xiao Peng often sees red wine swaying in the country, watching the so-called ‘hanging glasses’, and smelling the aroma of the wine, which looks full. Xiao Peng really wanted to go over and ask: What kind of pretend do you pretend?

For red wines, especially premium red wines, a suitable vintage is the most important thing. A good vintage has to be stored for many years before it has unparalleled complexity. Drinking a new vintage will only be bitter, and it will not be sobered. Good fart.

Xiao Peng tasted the red wine in the glass, uh, as a person who doesn't drink red wine often, Xiao Peng's evaluation of Roman Nikon is only one word: good!

As for the good thing? Good price! Well, because it is expensive, so good.
