How to distinguish the quality of liquor?

As we all know, drinking too much wine is bad for your health, and inferior liquor is even more harmful to your health! Especially when friends and relatives get together, if you drink inferior liquor, your face will be quite dull! So, today I will share with you five ways to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of liquor! Let's take a look!

First, the smell: We can put the glass under the nose, naturally inhale and slowly shake the glass. Generally speaking, high-quality liquor can emit a faint fragrance, which is cellar fragrance, grain fragrance, qu fragrance and groove fragrance, which is harmonious and unified, giving people a comfortable and pleasant feeling. Use human eyes to observe (intuitively and sideways) whether the hue, transparency and color of wine are clear and transparent, whether there are suspended substances, precipitates, etc.

Second, look at the wine: the color of liquor is generally colorless/yellowish (due to different processing, storage and time, some liquor is yellowish), transparent, without sediment and suspended matter. We can gently shake the glass to observe the transparency of the wine, and then turn the glass counterclockwise to observe the degree of the wine. Generally speaking, the quality of the hanging marks on the glass is more obvious, even like silk, the wine in the glass is clear and transparent without any impurities. The more transparent the liquor, the better the quality. On the contrary, yes.

3. Tasting method: In the process of wine tasting, good wine has the characteristics of soft entrance, full aroma, mellow flavor, mellow taste and long aftertaste. Tasting is to put the wine in your mouth and see if the taste of the wine is full and thick, soft and sweet, with a clean and refreshing ending and a long aftertaste. At the same time, compared with the standard wine sample, the difference of comprehensive sensory stimulation intensity was found out.

Fourth, shake the bottle upside down and observe the change of hops. Hops are dense and disappear slowly, but hops disappear not so quickly. Inferior wines can smell the aroma of liquor, so as to know whether the aroma is pure, whether there is a sense of pleasure, whether the main aroma is prominent, whether there is a bad smell and the intensity of stimulation.

Rub the wine into the palm of your hand, dry it with your hands and smell it lightly. The smell of grain is fragrant and smelly. This is the simplest identification method. Because liquor must go through a series of strict production processes in the process of forming aroma quality, if there is negligence, there will be some unpleasant smells in liquor, such as bran flavor, pit mud flavor and mildew flavor. Therefore, removing impurities and enhancing aroma in liquor production and maintaining the original flavor of grain are the signs of high-quality liquor.

However, how to distinguish the quality of liquor ultimately depends on the taste. Tell me in the comments section if you don't understand.
