Hu Jianmin raised his thumb and exclaimed: "Sir is worthy of being a master, and he has also studied oak in this way? Hu admires it!"

He pointed to the American oak barrels and said, "In the early days, people thought that American oak prices were cheaper, so they could not be compared with French oak. The reason is that the American oak barrel industry was originally based on the production of oak barrels for spirits. At that time, the precision and subtlety of the barrels were not valued. Now, as American barrels continuously improve their technology, they have begun to compete with some of the world's best quality oak barrels."

Wen Yiming slowly walked to the obviously lighter barrel and smiled: "Hungarian oak has suffered a loss of reputation for decades due to improper management, but today it is slowly rising as the main alternative to French oak. For example, the texture of this barrel seems to be similar to French oak, but it has a more obvious acidic smell."

"I didn't expect that the gentleman knew so much about red wine!" Yan Sihai was full of admiration. The so-called "straight is like a mountain" is a culture of hundreds of years. Red wine is profound and profound. Unexpectedly, Wen Yiming is also known to me.

"Hahaha, sir is naturally better than us ordinary people!" Hu Jianmin said convinced: "I have just begun to understand oak barrels. The tricks are very deep. Different oaks are different when fermenting. Even the air-drying method will have a subtle impact on the wine, which is very complex and changeable."

Wen Yiming looked at Hu Jianmin and smiled, "Isn't this exactly one of the charms of wine tasting?"

“Yes, yes!”

Hu Jianmin laughed happily. Every time he chatted with Wen Yiming, it was a rare pleasure. The other party was young and had an unfathomable background, which made people convinced!

Hu Jianmin picked up a universal six-ounce wine glass, opened the wooden barrel and picked up a glass of red wine and said, "There are also some specialties in wine. This kind of wine can be consumed. Its medium-sized cup belly gradually shrinks upwards, sending the aroma of the wine directly to the mouth of the cup."

He handed Wen Yiming both hands and asked him to taste it first, and then distributed the red wine to others. Ling Yuxin took the wine glass, raised it gently, shook it slowly, and asked, "I often hear people say that the quality of the red wine depends on the degree of the hanging glass. Do the two experts have any secrets?"

Hu Jianmin said seriously: "In my personal experience, the traces of a wine hanging have nothing to do with whether the wine is delicious, but whether the wine is hung or not may have a great relationship with the body and year of the wine."

"Wines without signs of hanging cups or not obvious signs of hanging cups are often wines with poor body shape. In the final analysis, the blending ingredients are very high and the original content of grapes is not high, so it is definitely not a good wine."

"Wines with signs of hanging cups and the signs of hanging cups stay for a long time means that they are basically produced from grape juice and stored in oak barrels for a long time and are long."

"Wines with signs of hanging cups are often of better quality, higher prices, longer storage time, and they feel mellow and sweet when they drink them. Therefore, this basic theory is popular on the market. Wines with signs of hanging cups must be better than wines without signs of hanging cups."

Wen Yiming tasted the lipstick wine and continued: "Hanging the cup is related to the residue, and New World wine is also related to Old World wine. Old World wine may have obvious traces of hanging the cup than New World wine, because the production process is related to the quality."

"In the past, traditional craft pressing technology was generally used, and the grape particles were more original and coarse. New World wine was made with modern craftsmanship, and the grape particles were smaller, and the blending technology was more focused, so the traces of hanging cups were much lighter than those of Old World wine."

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something and smiled: "We Chinese people seem to be very sensitive to the precipitation of wine. They think that precipitation is a hygienic thing. This psychology affects the producers of wine, so the wine circulating in the market now basically has no precipitation."

"In fact, if a bottle of real wine has sediment, you can feel the adhesion in your mouth and tongue. Congratulations, you must drink a truly tasteful wine. Among foreign wines, wine with adhesions is a good wine, and a bottle of real wine."

"So that's it!" After hearing the explanation of the two, the others suddenly realized. Everyone drank and chatted. It was rare to taste the raw red wine fermented directly from the oak barrels, which had a unique taste.

The group returned to the living room upstairs. Hu Jianmin took out a few bottles of treasured fine products from the wine cellar. Last time he drank the best tea in Sihailou, he must not be stingy, so everyone continued to taste the wine.

"Huh? This is cheese?"

Ling Tiancheng looked at the table with a little surprise and asked curiously: "What does Brother Hu mean?"

"Brother Ling, are you a layman?" Hu Jianmin laughed and pointed at the cheese and said, "In fact, the best match for drinking red wine is cheese! Cheese will make the wine sweeter and more rounded, while wine can suppress the fishy or moldy smell of cheese, making the cheese taste more delicious."

"The nutrients of milk in cheese can be concentrated to 1/10, and the amino acids contained in cheese can help liver activity, effectively break down alcohol, and be more beneficial to health."

"I accidentally went there last time, and the cheese just ran out. I ordered a batch from the origin. Let's try it out today!"

Ling Yuxin looked at the dazzling array of cheeses and picked up a plate and asked: "Different wines should be matched with different cheeses, right? How to choose?"

Wen Yiming pointed to the cheese in her hand and explained: "It's actually very simple. Generally, cheese and wine are produced from the same place or in the same area. Products produced by the same terroir are very suitable."

"For example, the piece in your hand should be parmigiano-reggiano, produced in the emilia-romagna region, one of the famous cheese brands."

"It is suitable for pairing with fragrant wines, such as the new brand wines from Lafite Manor, as well as the wine varieties from Nabone Manor and Camelon Manor, such as this bottle, you can try it."

After saying that, he opened a bottle of wine, poured it for others, and signaled to try the new flavor with cheese. Hu Jianmin took the wine glass, and was already accustomed to Wen Yiming's magical ability, and was eager to try it: "Since sir, what's the difference between me and I want to taste it well?"

After saying that, I picked up a piece of cheese with a small fork, put it gently into my mouth, waited for a while and raised the wine glass, took a sip slowly, and instantly felt full of enjoyment expression, intoxicated.
