China liquor, like stinky tofu and preserved eggs in China, is difficult for most foreigners to accept, which is actually related to their lack of contact. The smell alone made them unbearable for the first time. But people in China are exposed to more, and the more they drink, the more addicted they will be. If foreigners are allowed to drink China white wine regularly with some snacks that we should have in China, it is estimated that they will become more and more addicted like China people.
Foreign drinks, especially all kinds of red and white wines, are generally very smooth and elegant. You can drink a bottle without side dishes. Even whisky and white wine must be very strong, so they would rather drink ten bottles of whisky than one bottle of white wine.
As we all know, the concentration of China liquor is very high, so let's compare it with distilled liquor with the same high concentration. China liquor only needs a single grain as raw material, which belongs to koji-flavor type (that is, the flavor type was determined at the initial stage of brewing), so the taste is more pure and single. Unlike foreign spirits, which use various raw materials and wooden barrels, or even different starters to help determine the flavor, the taste is rich and complicated.
Generally, the alcohol content of foreign wines is very high, but it is also around 40 degrees, while China liquor can rise from more than 30 degrees to more than 60 degrees.
The most important point is that even if foreigners drink wine from their own country, they often mix it with other drinks to reduce the degree and bitterness of the wine and make it easy for them to bear. This is too boring for China people, so it is better to drink it directly. People in China can't add anything to liquor, the more you drink, the more fragrant it will be.
Liquor and foreign wine are not only different in production technology and taste, but also different in wine culture and living habits.
In foreign countries, people who drink hard liquor from bottles seem to be used by street gangsters to get drunk. On weekdays, those busy people only use drinks as a leisure pastime and a match when eating. They won't get drunk, let alone break the film, so the drinks they often drink are also a mixture of wine, spirits and others, which is very mild.
However, many people in China are addicted to alcohol. A group of friends who haven't seen each other for a long time get together. They must be drunk or not. In China, since ancient times, there is no banquet without wine, which contains rich wine culture, from Cao Cao's hero who cooks wine to Li Bai's from a pot of wine among the flowers and I Drink Alone. No one accompanied me, and then I went to Ouyang Xiu's Drunk Pavilion. Without exception, it shows the importance of liquor in the life of China people.
