How did the ancients make wine? What are the processes?

Many people know that the wine brewed by traditional techniques has a very mellow taste. In fact, ancient winemaking is the predecessor of traditional easy winemaking. Let's see how ancient people made wine.

Brewing is indeed a technical activity, and most ancient people still need specialized workers to operate it, otherwise the wine brewed by ordinary people is not mellow enough. Although some ordinary people also made wine in ancient times, good wines were generally brewed in wineries with specialized workers.

Ancient winemaking also paid great attention to raw materials. The raw materials of ancient wine-making are generally rice and water, which, although insipid, determine the quality of wine. In fact, ordinary rice does have some fragrance like that, but it is not enough. For example, the ancients generally chose rice with better quality in farmland for brewing, and the maturity was also very particular. Moreover, the rice must be crystal clear to ensure the pure color of the wine. After selecting the raw materials, workers should make preliminary preparations for brewing in the wine shop. The first thing is to put rice in special containers, not just some containers to make wine, because this is not only related to the fermentation degree of wine, but also related to whether the quality of rice will deteriorate during this period. This container for rice is very particular. Generally choose wooden containers. Then choose the time to start brewing according to the weather, and finally cover the brewing pot with white cloth. Although the previous brewing process was not as convenient as the present machine, every step of brewing in the past contained the workers' deep intention and desire to brew good wine, so this wine is actually more emotional. Moreover, every step of hand-brewed wine is carefully matched and strictly controlled. Although it is not as precise as a machine, it is precisely because this artificial production is more full of a pure fragrance. Coupled with hand-made wine, in fact, compared with machines, the quality of wine will be better, because hand-made wine is operated in an ancient way, which is actually more quaint.
