About Canadian Gaudi ice wine

The supreme Gaudi ice wine in the wine family.

In recent years, the wine market in China has become hot, and drinking wine has become a fashion. According to the statistics of china alcoholic drinks industry association Guolu Wine Professional Committee, at present, the annual per capita wine consumption in China is 0.2 liters, while the index of similar foreign countries is as high as 60 to 70 liters. Judging from the development speed, the wine market in China will not be saturated for a long time. The immaturity of the wine market in China does not refer to the speed or scale, but mainly refers to the shoddy production of a large number of fruit wines. Consumers are eager for high-grade and delicious fruit wine. According to industry experts, the number of dry red wine producers in China has soared from 100 a year ago to more than 300. Although the number of wines in China has increased, there are few well-known brands and high-grade wines recognized at home and abroad in China.

Known as the best in the wine family, the ice wine with excellent taste was brewed in Fuzhou Free Trade Zone by Gaudi Ice Wine Co., Ltd. by introducing Canadian experts and complete sets of grape juice, equipment and technology. After careful testing by Canadian experts, it has been put into stable mass production in July this year. In view of the fact that many readers are still unfamiliar with this internationally recognized wine, our reporter conducted a special interview with the first imported and self-produced ice wine "Gaudi Shi" in Fuzhou Baoqu.

Mr. Zhang Ge, the chairman and general manager of the company, first explained to us:

What is iced wine?

"Ice wine" refers to ice wine, which belongs to white wine. The so-called "ice" does not mean that the grape fruit or wine is put into the freezer or freezer for cold storage or freezing, but refers to the grape fruit whose main raw material comes from about MINUS 20℃. Different from other wines, the grapes used to brew ice wine are not picked after they mature in autumn, and the vines continue to enter the severe winter. Berries are constantly frozen, sun-dried and dehydrated under natural conditions, and essential components such as berry sugar and acid are concentrated, which creates the unique style and supreme taste of ice wine. Ice wine has an amazing comprehensive aroma of various fruits, which is not available in any other wine. Ice wine has unique quality, excellent natural flavor, and its extraordinary taste and demeanor are unparalleled. Once tasted, it is unforgettable. Many famous restaurants from all over the world flocked to Canada to taste the flavor of ice wine and revel in it.

How did such a noble fruit wine come from? Manager Zhang cheerfully quoted us:

The history of ice wine

Ice wine first appeared in ancient Germany. In 1794, a rare freezing occurred in Frank grape-producing area in northern Germany. They simply squeezed the frozen grapes into juice and accidentally found that the wine was delicious. Subsequently, the tradition of brewing ice wine was formed from northern Germany, and the varieties and techniques were continuously improved.

Ice wine must be brewed in continuously cold weather. Facts have proved that the higher the sugar content of grapes, the lower the required freezing point. In winter in Canada, the biting cold can last for a long time, which makes Canada have a geographical advantage in brewing and also makes the research and development of ice wine technology in a leading position. Quebec has a unit specializing in ice wine technology, and constantly puts forward new experimental basis and technical discussion on the production and drinking of ice wine.

Growing ice grapes is extremely risky. In addition to being limited by climate and soil factors, sweet and ripe fruits will also be threatened by nature during their long stay in vines. Grapes frozen into ice are very fragile hanging on vines. When encountering storms and hail, they may lead to crop failure. It snows in severe winter, and birds foraging can also cause serious losses, so vineyards need to be protected with nets. In case of warm winter, the loss of fruit farmers is huge, because the fruits of warm winter can not be used to brew ice wine, which shows that the original juice of ice wine is rare.

"Hard-won" does not necessarily mean "supreme best". Manager Zhang continued to explain to us:

Supreme iced wine

Because the raw materials of ice wine are limited by climate and geography, only a few areas in the world, such as Canada and Germany, can produce this kind of wine, and the output is very rare.

Due to the long process of berry growth and the uniqueness of brewing technology, sugar and acid in iced wine reach an excellent balance and taste excellent when drinking.

The production of ice wine has strict restrictions on the collection, pressing and brewing of raw materials. First of all, the brewed fruit pulp must be a famous grape with strong cold tolerance; Secondly, fruit harvesting must be carried out in the coldest January and February, and juice should be squeezed immediately after harvesting to obtain the best natural sugar and juice. After pressing, the water in the berries is squeezed into ice crystals and discharged, leaving only a very small amount of concentrated juice containing natural fructose for brewing.

Squeezing ice grapes must be careful and slow. It's really hard work, but the juice squeezed out is very little. On average, one ton of ice grapes can extract about 100 liter of grape juice.

In addition, in the brewing process of ice wine, not only can no additives be added, but also there are strict requirements on temperature and hygiene; At the same time, the brewing process is also very picky and complicated.

Because of the scarcity of raw materials and products, the taste of iced wine is different from any kind of wine, whether it is golden yellow or the comprehensive flavor of various fruits. Therefore, ice wine is recognized as the top wine in wine.

Ice wine has won many gold medals in the world, and it is often used in high-level international conferences and recognized by world leaders. It can be seen from the banquet hosted by former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and former US President George W. Bush that in principle, almost every banquet must be served with ice wine. Iced wine is rich in cultural connotation, and it is the best wine for banquets, business, gifts, friends gatherings and family reunions.

Ice wine is a good project, but it is also a risky project. It took more than a year to investigate and analyze the project of introducing ice wine. The company saw the important demand in the domestic wine market and made up its mind to invest in the introduction. Judging from the current market research and evaluation results and order demand, the ice wine market has broad prospects and bright prospects. After careful brewing by Canadian experts, Gaudi ice wine has been successfully mass-produced, and the wine tasters are full of praise and customers are in constant stream.

After listening to teacher Zhang's description, we can't help asking what every reader will be eager to know:

The taste of iced wine

Because of the special raw materials of ice wine, ice wine is not only high in alcohol content, but also quite sweet. It smells like grapes, litchi, peaches, almonds and mangoes, and tastes like bees and almonds. This sweetness is entirely caused by natural berry sugar, and it is by no means the sweetness of sweet water. In addition, the berry itself is sour and has a balanced taste. When drinking, it is sour, mellow, gentle and refreshing, with a lasting aftertaste, which makes people enjoy the joy of blending things with me.

The grade of wine in the world is actually defined by the natural sugar of wine. The sweeter the better. Some consumers think that wine should be not sweet or too sweet, but this understanding is biased. Fruit wine rich in natural fructose is not only delicious, but also nutritious.

So we invite Manager Zhang to talk about:

The function of ice wine

Ice wine is the best wine in white wine. The role of liquor in preventing cardiovascular diseases, protecting eyesight and skin care has been increasingly pointed out by Jung, a medical professor. Liquor can play a very positive role in preventing cardiovascular diseases. Professor Jung recently asked 90 volunteers to drink the same dose of white wine, red wine and water. The last study lasted eight weeks.

The experimental results show that drinking wine, especially white wine, can enhance human protective high-density lipoprotein and improve blood value. Drinking wine in moderation and regularly every day can reduce the chance of heart attack by as much as 60%.

Liquor can effectively reduce coagulation factors in blood, thus preventing the formation of thrombus in blood vessels. The value of high density lipoprotein has a protective effect on preventing arteriosclerosis. Eight weeks after the experiment, the HDL of drinking water volunteers decreased by 0.6/ 100cc, red wine volunteers increased by 2.5/ 100cc, and white wine volunteers increased by 3.7/ 100cc.

Scientists at Cornell University in the United States found that wine contains a natural substance called "polyphenol", which has oxidation effect, can prevent platelets from sticking together less easily, and is not easy to form thrombus, and has the function of preventing stroke. It can increase blood supply to liver and kidney, improve osteoblast activity, reduce the occurrence of osteoporosis, increase vasodilation, enhance metabolism, improve blood supply to skin, and reduce the risk of kidney calculi.

June 5 1997 The American Medical Forum reported that a scientific study by a university in Washington found that drinking less alcohol can help prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the main cause of blindness in the elderly over 65 years old.

Wine is rich in vitamin C. Modern medicine has proved that vitamin C is a powerful anti-aging active substance, which is transformed into "anti-joint operation blood acid group" in the body and is the guardian of capturing "free radicals" and defending human cells. Free radicals produced by human metabolism are the chief culprit in promoting human aging and inducing cell canceration. Vitamin C can strengthen human collagen, make human skin elastic, and have the effect of beautifying skin.

Many scientists point out that drinking 0.2-0.4 liters of high-quality wine every day can greatly reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. At the same time, the positive role of liquor in preventing blindness and caring skin has also been confirmed by scientific experiments.

How to drink such a good wine?

Drink iced wine

Drinking iced wine with ice is especially refreshing. Adjusting the temperature of the wine to about 3℃ will make the wine sweet and refreshing, with the most beautiful taste, which will bring you a very pleasant taste. Anyone familiar with ice wine knows that "ice wine will grow wine" because ice wine has a high alcohol content. Adding 1-3 times of ice cubes to wine can not only adjust the wine to the best drinking temperature, but also dilute the alcohol content of wine. This is the reason why "iced wine grows wine", which is extra. Most people in China don't like sour wine. Ice wine is very suitable for China people's drinking taste, light and changeable. According to the preference of the drinker, adding ice cubes can adjust the taste, but the fragrance remains the same.

The amber bottle of ice wine can isolate ultraviolet rays and maintain the highest quality, so that you can continue to enjoy charming elegance, warmth and wonderful taste.

After listening to Mr. Zhang, we really want to have a drink. However, when I think of the words "supreme" and "best", I will inevitably think that the price must be very expensive!

"Not bad," Mr. Zhang said with a smile. "However, the ice wine produced by Gaudi Company gave China consumers a chance to taste it."

The price of iced wine

The lack of raw materials for ice wine leads to limited production. There are generally only two bottling specifications for ice wine on the market: 200ml and 375ml. Generally, wine is bottled in 750ml bottles. The price of a bottle of 375m ice wine in the world is about 60~80 dollars, and that in Hong Kong is about 580~780 Hong Kong dollars. The storage life of ice wine can reach more than 20 years, and the price of ice wine stored for several years will double.

German ice wine stored for more than 30 years set a record price of 7,000 Domagk. At present, Fuzhou Free Trade Zone Gaudi Ice Wine Co., Ltd. is the only manufacturer in China that brews and produces ice wine. In order to let more consumers in China have the opportunity to know, taste and drink this world-recognized ultimate wine, the company decided to give it to consumers in the first year to the second year of sales. The 375ml Gaudi ice wine market is around 400 yuan, far below the international market price.

Mr. Zhang said that in order to make Gaudi ice wine enter the market as soon as possible and meet consumers all over the world, the company is very willing to cooperate with merchants with good reputation, professional sales talents and network.

When we hold up the elegant and rich "Gaudi Poetry" ice wine and savor it, what emerges from everyone's eyes is the affirmation of the supreme and the praise of the best; This is a feeling of aesthetic pleasure, an extraordinary and meaningful enjoyment. ...

I believe that "Gaudi Shi" ice wine will soon become a hot spot in the domestic wine market!
