On August 5, 20 19 13: 22, Mr. Qin Hanzhang, a leading wine figure in China, died in Beijing at the age of 1 12. As a scientist of the older generation in China, a pioneer and leader of food and fermentation industry technology in New China, and a leading figure in the wine industry, the news of Qin Lao's death made the wine industry feel deeply sad. After learning the fact that 1 12 died, netizens exclaimed: Is it related to drinking? Medical experts say that drinking is harmful to health, so should we re-examine the relationship between drinking and health?
As a media person in the wine industry, Mi Jiujun had the good fortune to have frequent communication with Qin Lao, to know something about his history, and to see his daily life with his own eyes. Taking his drinking habits as an example, I will analyze the relationship between drinking and health with you.
Simply sort out the recent netizens' concerns and discussions about Qin Lao's longevity, mainly focusing on three aspects: one is genes, the other is wine tasting without drinking, and the third is drinking grain wine.
Many netizens believe that Qin Lao's longevity should be related to genes, and people who meet Qin Lao for the first time often have this guess. But in fact, Qin Lao's father died at the age of 58, his mother at the age of 60, his eldest brother at the age of 72, his eldest sister at the age of 9 1 and his second brother at the age of 0/02. It is difficult to judge how much the longevity of Qin Lao has to do with genes.
There are also many netizens who say that Qin Lao drinks every day, not drinking. But in fact, Qin Lao's achievements in wine industry are mainly in the fermentation field of wine-making technology, and he is not good at wine tasting. It is not Qin Lao's working state to taste without drinking. On the contrary, Qin Lao has a habit of moderate drinking for a long time, even when life is very difficult, he never stops. I have seen Qin Lao drink with my own eyes. He always drinks slowly and carefully, which makes him taste like wine.
At a wine summit at the end of 20 13, Mi Jiujun saw with his own eyes that Qin Lao, aged 106, entered the venue at 8: 50 in the morning and ended the dinner at 8: 50 in the evening, without leaving or taking a break. At the dinner party, everyone wished him a happy birthday, but he took a sip in return. The whole party * * * drank three glasses of white wine, still full of energy, without a trace of fatigue.

Of course, some netizens think that the wine that Qin Lao drinks is the original pulp of the winery's "special supply", and it is pure grain wine, which is definitely different from the common "alcoholic wine" on the market. But in fact, as a leader in the wine industry, Qin Lao has read countless wines all his life, and he is basically responsible for products sold to the market. The natural quality of these wines is uneven. There are often factory representatives from all over the country who come to Beijing to visit Qin Lao and invite Qin Lao to taste and listen to Qin Lao's comments with their new products. When encountering special wines, Qin Lao will repeatedly taste and drink a whole cup, but these wines are no different from the products sold in the market. Those who think that the market is full of "alcohol blending wine" are pure misinformation.
Moderate drinking is good for health, which is a very valuable view in Chinese wine culture.
