After visiting Hengshui Laobaigan, I finally understand why Hebei people are proud of it.

Once you step into the boundary of Hebei, you will find that Hengshui Laobaigan is almost everywhere.

Dining in high-end hotels, the first product often comes from Hengshui Laobaigan; On the signboards of many large tobacco hotels, there will be signs of Hengshui Laobaigan or Eighteen Breweries. Advertisements for all kinds of liquor in Hengshui Laobaigan can be seen everywhere, on bus stop signs and even in the subway of Shijiazhuang, the provincial capital. Even many Hebei people are proud of Hengshui Laobaigan.

What is the charm of Hengshui Laobaigan, which makes Hebei people so proud? After I was lucky enough to visit Hengshui Laobaigan Distillery and get a close look at the inheritance and development of Hengshui Laobaigan's Millennium wine culture, this puzzle was solved.

International famous wine is a good business card.

Although it is a visit to the factory, in fact Hengshui Laobaigan has already turned the winery into a national 3A tourist scenic spot, which is a veritable garden factory. At the entrance of the scenic spot, a sculpture in the shape of a big wine bottle attracted people's attention. A closer look reveals that this is an enlarged version of Hengshui Laobaigan 19 15 wine bottle, and its price is comparable to that of Tian Fei Maotai.

I've heard about this wine for a long time. I checked the information before I went. It is reported that Hengshui Laobaigan 19 15 was named to commemorate Hengshui Laobaigan (formerly Zhili sorghum liquor) won the first-class gold medal in Panama World Expo, which is of great commemorative significance. Moreover, Hengshui Laobaigan 19 15 won the highest prize in the 20 18 World Spirits Competition-the double gold medal and the "Best in the Competition", and won the special gold medal in the 2020 World Food Quality Evaluation Conference, which is well-known in many international famous wine lists and has been selected as international hospitality wine for many times.

Now, when I saw this famous wine standing at the gate of Hengshui Laobaigan Distillery, I realized that it was not a "good business card" created by the quality of Hengshui Laobaigan, but promoted the power of Hengshui Laobaigan brand to the whole world.

The ancient method produces fragrance and has been circulated for thousands of years.

Accompanied by the commentator, we visited Hengshui Laobaigan Eighth Traditional Brewing Workshop (Industry 1.0), 10 Mechanized Improvement Workshop (Industry 2.0), 19 15 Square, Hengshui Laobaigan Wine Warehouse, * * and the first wine warehouse in China.

Not all famous wines can be called historical famous wines, but Hengshui Laobaigan has been popular since 1900 years ago by virtue of its strength. According to historical records and expert research, Hengshui Laobaigan flourished in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty and was officially named in the Ming Dynasty. Hengshui Laobaigan has the absolute advantage of "not drinking too much" in modern times by virtue of its four characteristics of "inheriting for thousands of years, cellar fermentation, small molecular wine and low fusel oil", and is pushing many other brands.

When I visited the workshop, stopped on the ingenious plank road and looked around at the exquisite and complicated winemaking vats with huge input, a layman could feel how difficult it was to adhere to such an ancient brewing process. There are more than 7,000 vats in total, and the production of wine by manual loading requires professional craftsmen. It is understood that it takes at least 10 years to train a gold medal master of grooming, and at least 20 years to train a master of craftsmanship. Over the years, Hengshui Laobaigan has invested a lot of energy and painstaking efforts to form a strong team of skilled talents. Their rigorous process design and meticulous operation control are known as "China Liquor Craftsman Masters" for their "real kung fu". If someone has several such masters, how can they not be proud?

Hengshui Laobaigan, representing Hebei liquor, sells well all over the country and goes to the world. At the same time, it is not spreading the ingenuity of generations of Laobaigan people, so that Laobaigan culture is mellow and intoxicating in the years. How can Hebei people not be proud of this?
