What is the difference between ancient wine and modern wine? Why did the ancients heat up before drinking?

The biggest difference between ancient wine and modern wine is the different degrees. The degree of ancient wine is relatively low, while the degree of modern liquor is usually above 50 degrees. That is, why did the ancients add me before drinking? It is because the ancient brewing technology is relatively backward, and there is a lot of methanol in the brewed wine, so they want to evaporate the methanol by heating, so that it will not cause too much harm to the human body after drinking. I have to say that the ancients were quite clever.

As we all know, the ancient brewing technology is certainly not as advanced as the modern brewing technology, and most of them use some grain to make wine, so that a large amount of excess methanol will precipitate in liquor during the brewing process. However, the ancients were still clever. They know that the boiling point of these grain wines is relatively low, so they can use low-temperature heating before drinking, and during the heating process, these excess methanol can evaporate.

Of course, the brewing technology in today's society is superb, and there are various technologies to remove methanol from liquor, but the difference between liquor and ancient liquor is quite big. Generally speaking, the degree of ancient liquor is around 10, which should be similar to that of modern beer. However, the liquor brewed in modern society is different. Basically, it is above 50 degrees, and even some low-alcohol wines are between 45 degrees and 48 degrees.

Therefore, we can often see such a scene in some TV dramas, that is, the ancients always talked about bowls when drinking. For example, Song Wu drank dozens of bowls of white wine before killing tigers, which was not particularly common in ancient society, but it was not particularly strange. However, if it is put in modern society, it is not realistic. Drinking hundreds of thousands of white wine will definitely make you unconscious. Drinking these dozens of bowls of white wine will also cause considerable harm to the body.
