Suqian is a famous wine town in China. In addition to the famous Yanghe and Shuanggou, Shuyang Sesame Wine is unique. Sesame-flavor liquor has a unique flavor in all kinds of liquor. As we all know, from 1952 to 196F, 1979 to 1984. "Qing Xiang" (Fenjiu, special yellow crane tower wine), Maotai (Maotai, Langjiu), Bianxiang (Dongjiu) and Luzhou-flavor (others). They represent the mainstream of China liquor. However, "sesame fragrance" is one of the few other fragrance types. This column also includes wind flavor, special flavor, lobster sauce flavor and rice flavor.
The name "sesame fragrant wine" is not casually rubbed, but is recognized by the authority. 1In September, 1987, when Shen Lai, vice chairman of the National Liquor Jury, tasted it, he decided that Shuyang Daqu was sesame-flavored. Two years later, Shuyang Winery sent samples to Ning, which was affirmed and praised by Shen again. On May 7th, 1988, Mr. Liang Bangchang, a well-known national brewer and director of Yanghe Winery, visited Shuyang Winery, which also confirmed that the wine in this factory has the "sesame flavor" style. 1June, 996 16, the leaders of Shenhe Provincial Department of Light Industry and Huaiyin City came to taste again, which further affirmed the characteristics of sesame wine.
Sesame is fragrant all over the city. The flavor of this wine is "sauce head and cheese tail", with a small population and a strong sauce flavor; The mouth is sweet and seems to be sweet; The entrance is soft and spicy, and there is a faint sesame fragrance that is refreshing and memorable.
These wines are produced in Shuyang and have their historical origins. As far away as Shen Kuo, a great scientist in Song Dynasty, told the story of "Let's drink two glasses of good wine" when he wrote the main book in Shuyang, and Yuan Mei, a writer in Qing Dynasty, wrote a famous sentence "Where the famous garden wine is scattered in spring, there are still fragrant teeth", which praised Shuyang wine for its good smell. In the twenty-first year of Daoguang, Shuyang Daqu was listed as a tribute and enjoyed a high reputation in Beijing. In the late Qing Dynasty, the brewing industry in Shuyang was still very prosperous. There are eight trough workshops in the city, including Baojuyuan, Xinheyu, Ganyuanhui, Jicheng and Shuquan Palace, and 14 small workshops scattered in the countryside. Products are exported to Suzhou and Hangzhou, famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. No wonder Comrade Han Peixin, the former secretary of the provincial party committee, mentioned that his father told him to play Shuyang Daqu when he visited Shudu.
During the decades from the early years of the Republic of China to the founding of the People's Republic of China, wars were frequent, all walks of life in Shuyang were dying, and the wine industry was also dying. 1948 When Shuyang was liberated, there were few private troughs left. 1949 In May, the county people's government took over the largest "Ji Cheng Cao Fang" and later changed it to "Shuyang Winery", and the brewing industry in Shuyang was completely transformed.
By 1955, there were only five wineries in Huaiyin, and Shuyang Winery also occupied one of them (the others were Suqian, Yanghe, Shuanggou and Gaogou). There are many technicians in Shuyang Winery who support Yanghe and Shuanggou and become the backbone. Later, due to the restriction of the national grain purchase and marketing on the production of grain wine, Shuyang Winery gradually got into trouble. It was not until the spring breeze changed the orchid's opening that it revived. Provincial, municipal and county leaders have made every effort to promote her continuous development and growth.
Although Shuyang Sesame Wine is not as famous as Yanghe and Shuanggou Liquor, it has also won many awards. /kloc-0 won the bronze award of Beijing International Expo in July, 1989, and/kloc-0 won the Jiangsu Quality Product Award in June, 1992. Later, he won the gold medal at the Hong Kong International Fair. How is this good wine with unique fragrance brewed? According to the orthodox brewing theory, it is called "technological determinism". That is, the reason why the eight famous wines have their own styles is determined by the process. From this point of view, sesame wine should also have a set of definite technology to ensure the stability of its product flavor. Only in this respect, there are still some theoretical and technical problems that need further study. For example, although sesame-flavor liquor has initially formed the experience of "long-term accumulation in air and high-temperature fermentation in cement pool", these experiences are not mature enough, and further tests, summaries and improvements are needed to truly form an independent sesame-flavor liquor process different from Luzhou-flavor liquor process.
In addition, the wine industry also agrees with "environmental determinism". Commentators take Moutai as an example, saying that local soil, water quality, raw materials and even air are all necessary conditions for producing Moutai. In other words, without Maotai Town, Moutai can't be brewed. It is indeed a coincidence to compare this theory with Shuyang hemp wine. Only a few ponds in Shuyang Distillery can produce sesame-flavor liquor. Often separated by a wall, it is a different flavor. This is not difficult to explain, because the fermentation process is an extremely complex biochemical process, with many strains and many factors, and only limited factors can be analyzed by modern scientific and technological means. What factors have played a decisive role in the formation of sesame flavor style? It is still a mystery. As far as the components of liquor are concerned, the most advanced wine experts abroad have been able to detect more than 100 components, but at present only 20-30 components can be found in China. It is now recognized that the main aroma components of Luzhou-flavor liquor are ethyl butyrate and ethyl butyrate, and the main aroma components of Fen-flavor liquor are ethyl butyrate and ethyl lactate. What is the main substance of sesame fragrance? Further inspection and discovery are needed.
Shuyang, the hometown of wine, is full of fragrance!
