It is made by diluting honey with water and fermenting. Honey contains extremely high fructose and other sugars, and the extremely high osmotic pressure makes it difficult for microorganisms to reproduce. After honey is diluted with water, the sugar concentration decreases, and the yeast can reproduce and start fermentation under appropriate osmotic pressure. In order to meet the needs of all kinds of people, honey wine is divided into three types. When brewing honey wine, the sugar content is controlled below 4%, which is called honey wine dry wine; When the sugar content is above 5%, it becomes sweet wine; Between 4% and 5%, it is called Meade semi-dry wine. Honey wine brewed with natural pure honey does not contain methanol and formaldehyde, which is the biggest difference from other kinds of wine. As a pure natural health care product, mead is brewed with pure natural honey and mineral water as raw materials without adding any other substances through a unique high-temperature fermentation process. The color, aroma and taste of wine are naturally formed, with unique taste, rich aroma, slightly sweet, soft and mellow entrance. In terms of nutritional value, the determination of nutritional components of honey wine shows that honey wine contains 17 kinds of essential amino acids and physiologically active substances, such as glucose, fructose, VA, ve and minerals, among which amino acids, VE, fructose and minerals such as sodium, calcium and phosphorus are relatively high. From the metabolic process of these physiologically active substances, this paper expounds the health care function of honey wine to human body. Simple production and brewing process of main formula honey wine → dilution → sterilization → addition of nutrition → canning → inoculation → fermentation → canning → sterilization → canning Operation key points: honey pretreatment: put honey in a jacketed pot and heat it. When the honey temperature rises to about 42℃, filter it with a 6 0-mesh sieve to remove impurities. Dilution: 2.5 ~ 3kg of water is added to each kilogram of honey raw material for dilution, and honey aqueous solution is made, so that its relative density reaches1.088 ~1.100. 3. After sterilization and dilution, continue to heat to about 90℃ for 5 minutes to kill harmful microorganisms that may exist in the honey aqueous solution. Adde nutrients, cool that sterilized honey aqueous solution to below 30℃, and adding 0. 1-0.3% diammonium hydrogen phosphate, 0. 1-0.2% potassium tartrate, 0. 1-0.2% citric acid and 0.1-0.2. The pots and pans for inoculation should be fully washed and dried, put in a closed room, fumigated and disinfected with SO2 generated by sulfur powder combustion, and then the honey aqueous solution is poured into the pots and pans after disinfection, with a gap of 15 ~ 20 cm on the upper part to prevent * * * from overflowing during fermentation. Inoculation: Add the bacteria liquid cultured step by step into the tank, the amount of bacteria liquid is 5% of the honey solution in the tank in winter and 2% in summer, stir evenly, and seal the tank mouth with airtight oil paper or plastic film. Fermentation: put the inoculated jar into a fermentation chamber at the temperature of 65438 08 ~ 20℃ for fermentation. In the process of fermentation, if the temperature of fermentation liquid rises to 25℃, cooling measures should be taken. In the process of fermentation, if it is found that the temperature of fermentation broth exceeds 30℃, the temperature should be lowered below 30℃ first, and then the bacterial broth should be added to the fermentor to ensure the normal fermentation. Under normal circumstances, it takes 15 ~ 25 days to complete the fermentation process. In order to remove wine yeast, the supernatant of fermentation broth in one bottle was siphoned into another bottle after fermentation. Let it stand for 1.5 ~ 2 months, and change the cylinder for the second time to remove impurities. Finally, 0. 1 ~ 0.2g potassium metabisulfite was added to each liter of wine to keep the reproduction of beer yeast AS2.346 and inhibit the growth of other microorganisms, which not only ensured normal fermentation, but also had the functions of clarification, acid increase and color protection. The jar is sealed and aged in the shade for more than half a year. After sterilization, canning and aging, the wine was sealed and heated to 88℃ for 65438 0 minutes, so as to kill microorganisms in the wine, destroy the activity of enzymes in the wine and stabilize the components of the wine. Sterilized honey wine can be bottled and preserved. Formula 1 contains honey 1200g, glutinous rice 120g, dry koji 150g, and cold boiled water 1500ml. Method: cook glutinous rice until it is half cooked and drain; Adding honey, distiller's yeast and water, sealing and aging together in porcelain jar, the best aging effect is in natural caves. Beauty beauty, the effect of tonifying kidney and nourishing stomach; Long-term drinking can promote sleep and metabolism, so it has a strong anti-aging effect. The mode of administration is suitable for catering, and 150 ~ 200ml per day is the best. Formula 2 contains 500g honey and 50g red yeast. Methods: Add 1000 ml water to honey, add red yeast, mix well, put it in a clean bottle, seal it with kraft paper, and ferment for 1.5 months. Filter to remove residue and drink. Function This product has nourishing and therapeutic effects. Long-term drinking by adults and the elderly is beneficial to health, especially for patients with chronic diseases such as neurasthenia, insomnia, sexual hypofunction, chronic bronchitis, hypertension and heart disease. Usage: Take orally. You can drink it anytime. The production type of mead is actually a kind of wine. Honey wine in a broad sense is an alcoholic beverage produced with honey as raw material. From the development history of honey wine for nearly 3,000 years, it mainly includes the following three kinds: at present, the most common wine in the market is mixed wine, and there are three kinds of production: one is a beverage wine based on honey wine and added with some edible substances, spices or Chinese herbal medicines; Secondly, taking honey as raw material, adding edible substances (mostly fruits and vegetables), spices or Chinese herbal medicines, and mixing and fermenting to make mixed alcoholic beverages; The third blood circulation is honey wine made of edible alcohol without fermentation. Its alcohol content and sugar content are arbitrary, which can be high or low. In order to reduce the cost of some products, sodium cyclamate, saccharin and other sweeteners are added to a small amount of honey to adjust the sweetness, and honey essence is added to adjust the fragrance, so the internal quality of the products is poor. Fermentative distillation takes honey as raw material, and after dilution and fermentation, it is made into medium-high alcohol beverage by liquid distillation. Although distillation greatly improves the alcohol content, honey aroma, amino acids, mineral trace elements and B vitamins are greatly lost in the distillation process, and the flavor is relatively simple. Honey fermentation is a low-alcohol beverage made from honey through fermentation and aging. The main features are: the wine aroma of honey brewed by microbial fermentation is pure, with moderate sweetness and sourness, which not only retains the nutritional components of the original honey, but also increases the contents of amino acids and vitamins due to the action of microorganisms, greatly improving its nutritional and health care value. After the vicissitudes of history and culture, honey wine has interpreted the wine culture for nearly 3000 years. According to research, honey wine in China first appeared at the banquet of Zhou Youwang Palace in the Western Zhou Dynasty in 780 BC, and was successfully brewed under the inspiration of "ape wine". Legend has it that the wine brewed by apes is actually fermented from leftover fruit, and it is named "ape wine". In the Tang Dynasty, pharmacist Su Gong gained the experience of natural fermentation, that is, "all wine and grain should be fermented, but grapes, honey and other wines cannot be fermented separately". Meng E also elaborated the dietotherapy value of honey wine in Medicinal Diet. In Song Dynasty, Kou Zongshuang also mentioned the use of honey wine in treatment. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in Ming Dynasty listed honey wine as a special article, citing Sun Simiao in Tang Dynasty to treat rubella, tinea pedis and other diseases with honey wine, which provided soil for the production of honey wine. Travelers of the Five Dynasties drank honey wine brewed by Miss Cui of Hunan Province and wrote a poem happily: "Cuijia wine in Wuling City, there should be no heaven on earth." Taoist Yunyou drank a bucket and passed out in the deep cave of Baiyun. "Su Dongpo, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, lamented mead. God lived in Yuanfeng for three years (AD 1080). When he was demoted to Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei) as the deputy history of Yong Lian because of Wutai Poetry Case, he was an official who was "not allowed to sign books for business". In his spare time, he got the secret recipe of wine-making from Yang Shichang, a Taoist priest in Xishu, and personally brewed "full altar fragrant honey wine". There is no such thing as welcome. Three glasses of mead make you drunk. "After drinking his honey wine, Qin Shaoyou, who was in contact with him, once said with emotion:" The wine was praised for its merits, but it ruined ten thousand grains in the cup. Now that honey is brewed into nectar, why is the elixir so strong? "In the Yuan Dynasty, Song Boren also recorded mead in A Brief History of Wine, and in the book Suiyuan Food List written by Yuan Mei in the Qing Dynasty, he seriously talked about the application of mead, which is indeed a unique traditional product in China. In ancient countries such as Rome, Greece and Egypt. During the period of 200- 100 BC, there appeared mixed wine brewed with honey as raw material and mixed with grain or fruit. Among the Germans from ancient times to the early Middle Ages, mead was the most common wine alongside beer. 1485 After the national reunification, honey blended wine appeared in Britain. After 1877 occupied India, all honey wine was brewed (this was between 1405 and 1433). In the Old Testament, according to the tradition at that time, newlyweds drank mead every night for one month after their marriage, so that the fruits of their honeymoon would be born nine months later. The secret of marriage happiness lies in mead. According to people who have drunk mead, mead is effective for insomnia, forgetfulness, listlessness and sexual dysfunction. After drinking for a long time, chronic gastrointestinal diseases are obviously improved, and it also has a good curative effect on chronic bronchitis and asthma, especially to make the skin rosy, keep young forever, and enhance the anti-aging and anti-cold ability. Honey wine can indeed be called "the beauty of heaven"! No wonder Su Dongpo in Song Dynasty praised "Bees Beat the River Hou" in "Song of Honey Wine"! No wonder Lu You revisited Shenyuan, and when he paid his respects to his old friend, he also thought of an affectionate "honey wine". In that "drunken desert", "red crisp hands, yellow wine, spring willows all over the city" can be seen vaguely. Britain and Poland are generally regarded as the first countries to make mead. Among Tanzanian Ladoga people, mead is an essential drink in various ceremonies such as tribal meetings. According to legend, China is also one of the earliest places to brew honey wine. In 780 BC, honey wine was recorded in the court banquets of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it became popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Legend has it that Alice, the princess of an English tribe, was going to get married at the beginning of the 6th century. She is very beautiful and moving. The princes who proposed to her gave their most precious things, but no matter what treasures, they failed to touch Alice's heart. Prince Harry has long had a crush on Alice, but his tribe is poor in mountains and waters, and there are no pearls and gems like other tribal princes. He offered the honey wine he invented and brewed, and said to Alice, "Honey, marry me, although I don't have gold, silver or jewels or sweet words. But I have a heart that loves you till death do us part, and an altar of sweet and delicious honey wine. Alice was moved by the sincerity of the prince. She accepted the prince's love and honey wine, and they began a sweet and happy life. From then on, all newlyweds will drink mead in the first month, which is also called honeymoon, symbolizing that the future can be sweet. Robert parker, a world-famous sommelier, was also impressed by the delicious honey wine. He once said that "mead will be another wonderful wine that can be popular all over the world after red wine". Efficacy and indications: With a cultural heritage of nearly 3,000 years, the wine body has the characteristics of nutrition and fitness, nourishing and strengthening the body, health care and beauty, and delaying aging, and is increasingly favored by many consumers. Nowadays, the trend of low-alcohol and healthy drinking is combined with the natural, green and healthy characteristics of honey wine, which has released more space for this wine to win many consumers. Alcohol drinkers account for a large proportion of the elderly. However, in the face of the objective reality that their organ function is declining and their metabolic ability is gradually declining during physiological changes, drinking low-alcohol wine in moderation can promote blood circulation, enhance their spirit and keep out the cold, which is quite beneficial. Every time you taste a small amount of vinegar, it not only makes people feel refreshed, but also increases the secretion of gastric juice, promotes the digestion and absorption of food, dilates small blood vessels and improves blood circulation. Honey wine is suitable for the elderly. Drinking honey wine at family banquets, birthday celebrations and old friends' gatherings can strengthen the body, delay aging and play its special health care role. Middle-aged men, especially a large number of men who often hang out in social occasions for business and work, have to drink alcohol for business success, but they are afraid that drinking too much will be bad for their health. In frequent business contacts, when friends get together, entertain business partners, and thank customers, Mead Johnson is invited to sit down, raise glasses frequently, make friends, and share the joy of career success, which not only maintains health, but also enhances friendship. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of women's social status and people's living standards, people are increasingly advocating personalized lifestyles, and the number of women drinking is increasing. Many women began to know how to fully enjoy life and feel a different kind of intoxication in fine wine. Many women often attend banquets, weddings and dinners.
